Saw Ligi in trinity Market today and asked about his knee.

Hoping it's a low grade issue. Scans tomorrow. Fingers crossed for the big guy

WW doesn't get it, it's all about long term, he called me boring, but couldn't wait to post on here about Hookem at the first opportunity rather than talking about a good win.

I thought the halfbacks were OK, probably better but with better halfbacks game would have been over at HT, halfbacks also missed 11 tackles. Reynolds was also lucky with his try, very close to the line, just put the ball down, he has done that before.

Top win, big efforts from the backs and forwards and class by Connor.

You have been very consistent in your drum beating regards Hookem Dave and very admirable but as i pointed out in a pre season post your coaching staff have the opinion that his best position is at hooker. I think i am right in saying his only starting position for first teams games this season has been at number nine (on loan) and if my information is correct this was at the request of Hodgson.

Why do does he play 7 for the reserve team?

Probably because Balmforth plays 9. I think Hookem played 7 for Whitehaven last week though

No. Williams played scrum half versus Dewsbury last week and Hookem played again at hooker (every time he has appeared on loan there it's been as a number nine). Whether it is the form of Balmforth at hooker in the reserves i know not but i am reliably informed that BH sees Hookem playing at nine in the mid term, unless he is released permanently to a Championship side.
