I'd defo have a look at him.

If we sign monoghan will he insist on k9????

Why have you developed this fixation with playing Washbrook at hooker? He's shown nothing to suggest he'd be a good hooker on a regular basis. I'd play him there in an absolute emergency, and only then. To go into the season with him as one of our two interchange hookers would be very foolish. All IMVHO, of course.

Me too, providing he is fit then worth a year.

Did you read what i wrote? I said 'if we cant bring another 9 in i'd play Washy there'

Hows that a fixation? (and more importantly, i think we're agreeing that it's a last resort by what i wrote)

I disagree though about what he's demonstrated. I've seen all the core skills from him to think he'll do a decent job there if needed.

Unless the Rovelli deal is still on. If it's not we'd be foolish to not be looking at Drew.

Definatley agree.

Would be solid inter-change hooker and would have Berro in the centres.

If (when) we have a half injury, he could go in the halves, Berro interchanging hooker again and Turner/Whiting in the centres.

Exactly what i'd do. (unless as a 1 off Houghton can play 80)

Simples!

How can you possibly tell how quick he is now campared to what he used to be? Even if he had lost a lot of pace it would still be hard to tell over the short distances required to run on the field, people read too much into when a player turns 30, sprinters still perform at a high standard into there 30s, and from what I can see he is still a similar weight and build to what he used to be and dosnt have trouble with movement in my opinion.
