I'd go:

Smith
Barron
Wynne
Mitch
Martin
McNamara
Gale
Taylor
Houghton
Sao
Lane
Ma'u
Fash

Laidlaw
Satae
Balmforth
Lovodua (Back Row)

I'm quite tempted to not decide if to go or not until the team is announced.

I'd really like to see Martin get a run, reminds me of Briscoe, super strong for his age.

Kye Armstrong a very good player too, but maybe a little early for him.

Biggest deciding factor could be if JJ plays, just can't see what he brings, he is leaving, play Balmforth or another young kid.

I think Ben Mac has played there on occasion so if we push the definition of hooker there is potential for what, 6?
Houghton
Johnstone
Balmforth
Lovodua
Smith
Ben Mac

Only Danny is allowed to do any passing from dummy half though

Id use every player in that 21 squad over the next 3 games though.

I agree with you, but the issue is, what is Lovoduas position?

I think he decides himself.

It has come from a couple of posters who are are usually more reliable than others when it comes to rumours but yes I find it hard to believe.

Going by the Dan Tomlinson article If indeed he hasn't yet signed a contract I would use his quota spot to sign a specialist hooker to compliment Dwyer. Assuming Houghton is not here next season.

I’m guessing that it’s Houghton and Dwyer next year.

I know the posters, they are mates with certain players, won't have a word said against them, easy to find on twitter or Facebook. I believe they have an agenda.

Saying that it's strange he has hardly played 9, but that could be just down to Hodgson, as he does are alot of strange decisions.
