As much as it sounds crazy, I’d go with Hook.
I thought Holbrook, however, I think he’d want to much control.
Hook would be good, because the players would respect he has been around for years. He is liked by players and he has actually had success (except Dragons - but even they like and respect him).
If we are after Fifita, we go Holbrook, and let Haumole go with his family to the Tigers.
To be honest, if Haumole doesn’t have his family at the club, considering how close he is to them, his motivation will be …..! He cried presenting Samuela his jersey for his first game due to his feeling of family.
Probably impossible, however, Bateman and Fifita in the 11 and 12, would be a dream.
A dream!
