I'm not sure he would be better then knik to be fair. He's 30 and is getting sacked by a terribly under performing club in an easier/less intense competition. And even though knik may not be great, all the areas he lacks in cooper does not bring anyway. At least knik has a great attitude, has been playing in the nrl, and has youth on his side.
Having said that, if he came for a bargain price & Bennett pulled his attitude in line might be worth a gamble, but I'd prefer hodkinson as he brings what we need from a back up
