If Phil Joseph can play hooker for Salford on Saturday at Cas, then I reckon our big aggressive prop who can't get a game could put a shift in at scrum half for 10 minutes

To be fair there are hardly any out and out 7's out there at the moment. But I wouldn't have minded seeing Godinet partner Gaskell.

Someone didn't want him.

Phil Joseph played quite a bit of hooker in his younger days. He was a man child.

Well, we could put AoB at half back and play Lumb at hooker. That might work given AoB's quick, darting run style

Daniel Mortimer from the Titans.
Signing of Nathan Peats means they now have 4/5 hookers on their books and he has not been seen much in their first team.
Was a halfback at the roosters but has been playing 9 now and again the GCT.
Still young and could do a decent job.
Just a suggestion, seen as smith would know him reasonably well, and with the signing above, seems to be on the outer.

He was once the golden child of the Eels not kicked on from the early days really.

I'm aware, but we don't need a jarrod sammut type of player.
Mortimer would fit the bill as a steady, solid, controlling halfback.
And with his age, him ,Gaskell and obrien could have a good few years together.

Smith is still in oz for a week or so, I don't see any harm in asking him the question if he fancies 5 months in the uk, maybe longer if we are promoted.

What about Tim Smith? His dad might highly recommend him? But hide your car keys.
