Why? WHY does the club treat the Hooker position like a joke?

And the same as we got releasing Walsh to them early in the first place... and giving them Arthars on a loan deal in 2020

And what did we get when we released him to them?
Cap space. Broncos told Capewell this is your last year and if you get a longer offer we will let you go. He got a three year offer and Broncos let him go.
When he signed in March they could have said you’re here until October 31, but they didn’t want to.

Missed 5 and made 55... he's actually got more missed tackles than runs... he's had 1 run for the year.
It might take him near half a year for his runs to catch his missed tackles... impressive

Like I said there is only 1 Harry Grant .
But damn 1 marker should be a green light to run . But no , stick to the script .

His speed use to be his best attribute and now I don’t even know if he can run anymore? His delivery is still pretty poor with passes often going behind the runner or at their head. A hooker needs to be able to do more than just tackle, having no threat out of dummy half these days in particular is just starting games with one hand tied behind your back.

I think a tacklebot dummy half can play in NRL without a running game, but their service needs to be ****ing elite.
I didn't rate Mitch Kenny much at all, but he's growing on me... watch a panthers game and he's leading the line and cutting blokes in half as a tacklebot, he plays every minute of every match and his service is bullet passing and long.
I think he scored his second try last year or something... and that's probably 2 runs for his career ... but if you can fire a 20-30m bullet pass onto the chest of your halfback then he's cutting out 3-4 defenders and the ball is on the edge in an instant.
I didn't realise how important passing from dummy half was until Cook in origin and he's firing bullet passes 20-30m and the half is already outside his man and an overlap is created. Cook is probably one of the big reasons that souths attack was so potent.
Hooker has been an afterthought at broncos since like Walters and then Priddis, but they let Priddis walk anyway. The #9 jersey in the broncos all time team is basically still there for the taking

Neither one of them will go.
Jesus christ why are people panicking? Social media at the moment is in ****ing meltdown mode. Walters and Mozer are going to cost **** all, we're not getting rid of either of them.
This is likely Hunt's last season and Bukowski isn't NRL ready yet. Paix is depth. Nothing more.
And quite frankly, the likelihood of Walters coming back and getting back to the form he had before the injury is low and he's only got a couple more years in him as well.
There's only such time Mozer will want to play Q Cup the fact is how is this kid willing to spend in reserve grade.

Paix re-signing doesn't guarantee him a spot in the first gade squad.
The only reason Paix is in the side is because we don't have Walters. That's the only reason why Paix got back in the side in the first place, because of injuries.
Isn't that up to Mozer? there is no hard luck story here, Smoothy and Paix have both won hooker of the year during Mozer's Cup career. It's not as if Mozer's Cup form at any time has demanded selection.
He's played 48 Cup games, slightly more than Grant played. He's not closing in on his 200th game and wallowing in Cup winning hooker of the year every year and Petero Medal- the last two-year winners have been hookers too.
He's also played 80 minutes in two games since July.
