Unless we bring in one of the best 2 or 3 hookers in the NRL, which isn't likely to happen, we're going to see an inevitable drop-off in quality at 9 to what we've been accustomed to for 25 years.
Maybe best to get behind the player who does take on the role, whether that's Smith, Eaves or AN Other. You know... be a supporter of the team instead of a miserable tw*t always looking for the negatives and dying to have a dig.
