I just read in the Daily Telegraph that Seu Seu is off contract and that many other clubs are after him. (It was only a small section; I doubt it would be on the internet.)
I could be wrong, but I don’t remember this ever being discussed on here.
It seems to be commonly thought on this forum that he will be used in rotation with Morris next year.
But is he even going to be with us?
I think he is a great player and should be given more game time. We look so much more dangerous with him in dummy half. He adds a lot to our team and gives us a spark which we have lacked for the last couple of seasons.
In my opinion he would be a big loss. Personally, I would like to see him groomed to be a full time hooker who plays 80 minutes. I don’t know why he couldn’t be. I see our team as being far more dangerous with him as hooker rather than Morris.
I know Ricky loves using hookers in rotation (he also did it with De Gois and at the Roosters), but I’m not a big fan of doing it for the sake of it. I always thought De Gois should have been our 80 minute hooker and I’m starting to think the same about Seu Seu.
The rotation of hookers is widely used in the NRL, but the game’s best hookers still generally play the 80 minutes. Smith, Farah etc.
If Ricky does want to use a rotation, then Seu Seu must be the best option available for this. I don’t think there is a better option at the club or on the market.
Seu Seu also looked very dangerous when he was playing for Newcastle before he got sacked. Usually I am against retaining players which have had a poor behavioural record in the past. But I have heard that Seu Seu has settled down a lot since having a kid.
So my questions are:
Should we retain Seu Seu?
If so, should he be used as an 80 minute player or on rotation?
Does Ricky have a 'standard policy' of using hookers on rotation? If so, is this the right way to go?
If Ricky does have a 'standard policy' of using hookers on rotation, who will be used with Morris if Seu Seu leaves?
