The Hooker

[Eagles4Life]

Croker is still a stop-gap until Manase (or someone else we recruit) is available.

I’d say Lawton is more suited to the 14 role especially with Croker’s defence, but he may play more minutes than Cust does.

Eventually it’d be Manase and Lawton in the rotation in my opinion, but that could be next year.

I’ve changed my opinion on Croker though, I think he’s worth hanging onto as depth next year. Covers halves and hooker aptly without setting the world on fire

Croker has improved a lot, no doubt about that. The way he is playing now will probably keep him in the squad (as depth only) for 2022. BUT if we assume that Fainu is found not guilty of his charges, and Lawton comes through as our 14, then there is no place for him in the seventeen. He simply doesnt rate in comparison.

Nowhere near as interesting as what I was thinking upon reading the thread title....
