Official: Jacob Lillyman signs a 1 year deal with the Knights

When Levi comes on our attacks improves dramatically. He's only what 21 and he's a smaller guy who's best strength is running which takes more energy etc. He will get the motor for 80 eventually.
 
Its more a tactict to save an interchange?Bring him on after 20 minutes and he can play the rest of the game.
 
Buhrer aint a hooker, his a backrower that can fill in at hooker if needed.... though if where still needing to pick Burher at hooker next yr then we need a new hooker asap.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if we're buying Griffin to start so Levi can continue off the bench. It'll be unfortunate if he can't build himself up to 80 minutes but as long as he's still playing good football then it shouldn't be a huge problem.

The other idea could be

8 dan
10 Ese'ese
11 Buhrer
12 Guerra
13 Lillyman

14 Barnett
15 jake
16 King
17 Pythian/ Griffin/ lichaa

That would keep a tight powerful middle and strong backrow

I just can't leave Fitzgibbon out, I think he's got so much more improvement and is going to score us points week in week out

It is a waste having two hookers in 17, but even worse to have none if serious injury occurs. Can't believe we want 7-8 props, 5-6 backrowers but only one full time real hooker, fill in is ok on day of match but not long term, Lichha.

Tom Starling, Coggar could do it, Pearsal Pythian plenty of options and couple of under 20's boys if really desperate

Tom Starling is a remarkable little player.
You look at him and think he can't be a capable defender, but he always makes his tackles, and the way big guys go down when they run into him is just incredible to watch.
He averages over 40 tackles a game in NYC, and in reserve grade he was making 1 missed tackle for about every 40 made till a few weeks ago (he has missed a few more recently).
In NYC he was our best defender by a million miles, and our best attacking player as well - and he is probably our best defender in reserve grade now.

When Levi was the same age as Starling he was playing NYC and playing for around 50 minutes a game, making less than 30 tackles, and sometimes ran over 100 metres.
When Starling plays NYC he plays 80 minutes, makes over 40 tackles, sometimes 50, and averages over 100 metres a game.

It takes a while to get over the fact that he is tiny, but once you get over that and watch what he does, he is a freakish talent. A bit like George N'Daira or Issac De Gois, but with a motor big enough to go hard for 80 minutes.

Starling is a hooker and a very good one at that.

Though im definitely for signing another hooker of some kind as long as they are cheap.

Personally would of held onto Randell for 150k.

Big pay cut for Randell he may well ha e rejected it
