Especially with Tom out, I think we need a genuine hooker on the park for 80mins. There was a huge change yesterday when Levi came back for his 2nd stint, admittedly he was fresh and Newcastle were tired, but a lifetime hooker knows when to pick his spots and what he is looking for better, his fitness to play 80 won’t be a concern
Croker and Cust have done an admirable job filling in at hooker but just don’t have that natural instinct honed into them over years of doing the job
