Plenty of other example over the years.
Lewis looks a cracking prospect, not finished yet, but has all the tools to be a very good SL player, Pryce looks a in different league though, probably the best halfback prospect I've seen for years.
You are right, this is why I'm not too bothered that Sneyd is gone and Gale might miss a few games, Hookem can get some game time next season, he has the ability and attitude to be as good as Lewis if given the chance, which he will hopefully get next season.
Big statement to make for a player who has only played a few minutes in Super League v Lewis who has already made England Knights. FWIW, Hookem has already been told he isn't seen as a half back and is currently being trained for a hooking role. Unless the club is seriously short in the half back positions i don't think you will see him play that role again.

All I said is that he has potential to be as good as Lewis, this has come from a few youth coaches who has seen both players at the same time of development.
I asked an academy coach about his position, he said he is a halfback, akrway been working with Gale and in the pre training press release they had him down as a halfback.
Would love to know where get you information from.
I bet he plays more games in the halfback position than at hooker next season.
We need to be a good home support, aswell . The atmosphere at the MKM can be lunar at times .
