I never said he was the best hooker in the world. And I explained why he was moved in my post.
This is a perfect example of a strawman argument and why they should be avoided.
You were adding to the discussion about me disagreeing about him being the best hooker in the world hence my reply.
There's a lot of discussion so easy to get posters mixed up.

What I especially like with these current two extensions of contracts for Demitric and EIT is you can see Webster is obviously rewarding hard work. You can see and hear in what these guys are doing and know they’re putting in and that hopefully makes an impression on the other young guys coming through. Webster and the senior players seem to be installing a great work ethic. That’s why I’m surprised and wondering what’s in store for CNK past his current contract because he’s one of the hardest workers, Pompey too. Pompey could be squeezed out due to some of the talented centres coming through, but no clear front runner of a future fullback coming through? Some have mentioned Pasikala, but in the short term I’m wondering if RTS goes back to fullback?
 
I reckon TT will own the fullback jersey by seasons end but, he will be groomed for a couple seasons to shift up into the halves ala Hughes/Storm once someone like Pasikala demands starting selection..
Yeah I think you could be right. We could be up for a massive amount of potential changes even in the upcoming season?Can only really see DWZ definitely having left wing and JFH being a starting front rower?

Tigers fans will be loving that positive, all-in, above and beyond attitude… :LOL:
Yeah I don’t think it was a negative thing he was saying. It was more small talk with Jimmy about why the preseasons are so long.

He played every game this year then went on the end of year tour to England, seen photos he’s already back training.
I think this lad gets a bad wrap, I would be stoked to have him if I were the Tigers.
