ROBY
Ok. A bit of fun.
Maybe answer first with your choice KC or ROBY as the greatest Hooker in the super league era. And then why
I dont think theres anything between them, arguably one could cancel out the other one way or another.
KC... a bit of a freak of nature at times and could run through teams like a world class forward.
Often unstoppable at the line even when the whole team knew it was coming.
That wigan tackle where he chased down the winger to throw him into touch.
The last knowlsey road try
The lift in the whole team when he was on the pitch, similar to the aura of Scully.
His toughness and sometimes genuine fear of players to step upto him.
Roby....
One of the most consistent and fittest players of all time, sometimes to his detriment as a 9 out of 10 performance could look like under par.
Decsion making which i think really goes unoticed.. The difference between Roby and someone like Hodgeson for England was like night and day when it came to making the right play at the right time.
When they both played Roby was just the best impact player from the bench in the League.
Roby has the better kicking game, possibly the more prolific tackler (i imagine) although KC could be life threatening with his tackling..
Longevity goes to Roby.. Rarely injured and played more games.
I havnt forgot how good KC was but lets not forget he also had the backup of Higham and then Roby.
My vote goes to Roby
Wilkin said it best.
Roby consistently 8 to 9 out of 10
KC could occasionally bring out an 11 out of 10 (something extra special basically)
