Agreed, think Levi's danger for 9 is Woolford with Mann the continuous 14. Signed Buhrer for 1 year and he is now pushed down the line looking more like 14 in reserves unless injuries. We will be lucky to see Griff back at all let alone 2019 and he will be short of a gallop, don't think we should even consider until he is back in the game. Think Woolford only signed for one year to cover Griff and see how he goes, an extension will depend on Griff fitness and his form/potentialI’d say come round one it’d be
9. Levi
14. Mann
Either way, apart from the “agenda” Brown has with him Levi is the only established/experienced hooker we have.
Browns search for a hooker ended with Griffin until injury cruelled that idea .Didn't sign Buhrer for 1 year, he just exercised his player option.
I'm sure Brown will ditch Buhrer and Woolford and sign another two hookers next year in his never ending search
People tend to forget that in the couple of games before Griffin got injured last year, Levi was playing 50-60 mins at hooker with Griffin only playing the first 20-25. Levi had essentially become the first choice hooker again even though he wasn't startingBrowns search for a hooker ended with Griffin until injury cruelled that idea .
