Out of curiosity can Kaeo play hooker?

Re: 2024 Round 6 v Titans: Game Day

Just back from the game and haven’t watched a replay yet. But based on what I could easily see at the ground it was very noticeable the drop in service from dummy half when Levi went off. Those sideways sets on their line were because we went sideways immediately out of dummy half and Fog kicking d...

We all know Hoppa will come right back in no matter how we play on sunday One of the most exciting teams we've had in a while and you still find something to cry about. I don't think he will.

Disagree. Get him here as soon as possible (without selling the farm), so we are in controll of his development. In saying that, he's young and might not even turn into a first grader.

We are going alright when the hot argument is over a 20 minute bench role. Guler had 48 minutes today according to NRL.com That was more than any other front rower other than Tapine.
