Why not played against Wakefield away and stood out in a heavy defeat and played for Whitehaven in a local derby.
When will he be ready, Dodd and Lewis were playing the odd game at his age.
Could he be able worst than Reynolds, even if he is as bad at least he his getting experience for future years.
Just see benefit long or short term playing Reynolds, been absolutely awful this season and not great last year.
The problem is that BH spoke about Hookem at the early part of the off season and said he hadn't realised how good Hookem was and could have played him more than he did. Yet now the season in underway and with the poor showing from the two main halves (performance & discipline) and with McNamara injured he has still yet to play Hookem and give him the opportunity he spoke about in the off season. Early season he was injured admittedly but he is now back fit so deserves a shot.
Unless both Gale and Reynolds up their all round game then we are in trouble in the halves plus and considering their experience their stupidity in the area of discipline has cost them game time as a partnership which in not good enough.
