Logan Tomkins was 1st choice Hooker when Sheens came back for the Qualifiers - with Lee off the bench , Hood only got a sniff when Lee had to move to Stand Off .

so without prejudice to Hood who I quite liked , Hood was only 3rd choice under the new set-up , and they are having to spend wisely for the new squad .

Watson talks about two further additions in talks .
they preferred the loan player..

Very true middleman, I've just always rated hood going forward and thought we'd unearthed a gem when we gave him another chance.
Always preferred him over Tomkins, maybe an attitude thing the reason he left Leeds????
As has been said leave it too the coaching staff, just hope we have another hooker lined up if this is the case.

Cant see how letting these 2 go will free up that much cap space.Darrell Griffin was on a big contract so with his leaving maybe thats eased a few salary cap worries.Would much prefer we kept Hood who turned in some good performances last year and seemed to have a knack of giving us a lot of go forward when he came on.

Brilliant mantra, should be on all club branded products

As for Hood he looked better than Tomkins, I'd not be that worried if Menzies left but Hood for me is good now but will improve over the next couple of years.

Who knows what Sheens is thinking. He's obviously got a hooker in mind if they're prepared to off-load Hood. I was under the impression we wasn't using the full cap.? Well Robbie Farrah's not been snapped up yet. We can all dream eh.

Re: Liam Hood : Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:35 pm  

With ref to MR R Farrah, it was stated that the tigers were happy to pay a rather large amount of his salary just to get rid of the books.

If that is the case, maybe MR Sheens could pull this out of the bag while he is / was in Aus. And has given Robbie permission to sort out his stuff in Aus before comoing over, we will have to wait n see.

Trust in Tim.

Re: Liam Hood : Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:46 pm  

Sheens and Farrah aren't exactly the best of mates, they had a falling out a few years ago.

Re: Liam Hood : Thu Nov 12, 2015 4:53 pm

Whatever the altercation was it didn't stop Sheens selecting Farah in his latter games of his reign as the Roo's coach, i think Farah featured often which speaks volumes especially sharing game time behind the legendary cameron smith which is rare as smith plays 80 minutes frequently.

Anyway i can't see this happening but i think Sheens must obviously be searching for a hooker.Just keep away from Sackville st Tim.
