I wonder what they were going to do if they got long term injuries to members of the spine?

Not sure, but you're right. There's not another hooker in our top 30

If we don’t have a player in the same position in the top 30, you can go outside it.

We don't have a hooker (as it currently stands) in our development group either.

We are no longer a powerhouse club. We are rebuilding.
There has been quite clearly little to no future planning in the past decade. When players we had of the ilk Lockyer, Webke, Hodges etc retired we had nobody standing by to even remotely replace them and now we are paying the penalty.
Perhaps if White and co stepped out of the corporate world and concentrated on the footy team instead of the shareholders we might be half a chance again.

Yes. Our development squad 2019:
Corey Paix: Half
Tanah Boyd: Half
Jake Turpin: Hooker
Herbie Farnworth: Wing, Fullback, Goalkicker
Ethan Bullemor: Prop
Ilikena Vudogo: Centre
We also have a few backs in the main squad:
Troy Dargan: Half
Sean O'Sullivan: Half
Izaia Perese: Centre
Richie Kennar: Centre
Gehamat Shibasaki: Centre
I don't know where Dearden sits right now. He's old enough.

Probably didn’t see a pathway to fullback with Boyd in the team

We should just bite the bullet and pay overs for a genuine superstar when one becomes available.

No, he wanted a fortune to stay here and he was being a little shit about it. Wanted a spot in the team without earning it so we let him go on his way.

Unfortunately we tried that with Bird, I feel like that's a silver bullet you can only fire once every 5 years or so with the salary cap, unless you're the Roosters.
We just need to hope Bird kicks on and becomes the star we thought he was going to be, I certainly haven't given up hope, despite having limp penises for fingers so far this season, he's been in our best 2 or 3 players most weeks.

Honestly I would price him at 7-800k. I know not everyone will agree but if that's what we paid I don't think we paid overs for him at all. Am loving his form this season, he is probably my favourite right now.

Fair enough, I was only speculating.
