he is very good at picking out the markers

In this instance and using this as the benchmark, we would have :Storm also have Garlick.
Penrith also have Luke Sommerton, so three specialists there. Arguable that Kenny can play lock very well too though.
Raiders: Starling, Woolford, Levi
Sea Eagles: Croker, Kum Tong, Simpkin, Lawton*
Sharks: Brailey, Berrell, McInnes*
Broncos: Walters*, Mozer, Smoothy, Paix*
*Can/do play other positions.
You are right, it isn't a majority but definitely not unheard of.
I would see CHT playing in the halves in NSW cup and Clark as unlikely to be hooker cover. I would add in Roache but the club seem to see him as a half - Warriors website have him listed as five-eighth.
As I said, CHT will be seen as half cover primarily noting our lack of half depth.
If Lussick is gone it will make sense unless Egan has onset dementia signs and they can see lesions of CTE without him being deadOff the top of my head and after looking at a few top 30 squads , no other team has 3 specialist hookers in their squad.
You wouldn’t dedicate 10% of your squad to a hooker.
The Storm have one hooker , Harry Grant, plus back up from the likes of Wishart.
Penrith have two, Kenny and Luke.
Loved this part- I think it’s really exciting for our club that rival players are thinking this way.Healey says playing front of a full house at Go Media Stadium is a goal he hopes to achieve.
“Being over there [playing NSW Cup] and seeing it first hand was a real eye-opener and once they reached out I wanted to be a part of it. It’s really exciting I can actually be a part of that.”
Just wondering if anyone saw Healy's family in the stands?
Huge group of them all decked out in the same shirts with a picture of him on it, Mum, Dad, girlfriend and one of the best family and friends support for a debut that I have seen.

A really nice piece on Sam
Healey here. Seems a good young guy who is grateful to be part of the squad and getting his opportunity. He was a great watch on Sat and I believe could grow into an integral part of the side off the bench in the next couple of years and possibly a heir apparent to Egan long term. I can only wish him the best and will look forward to seeing him develop.
While it likely is the end of Lussick as a hooker back up (we agree on that) let me expound on what Cappy is up too til people get sick of reading it.A thought …
A young promising hooker would not sign for a club if he was going into the club as the 3rd ranked hooker?
Doesn’t make sense to have Egan, Lussick and Healy in the top 30 man squad. Not forgetting CHT, who can cover #9 and played a RLWC final in this position.
I’d suggest We have one too many hookers and I know who I’d move on .
