cheers mate
i have heard he is on a dev deal, someone said he went top 30 in 24 but cant see anything on it
looks good, i can see berrell going and healy being the next inline, which sucks, because berrell is a talent
I'm surprised we haven't managed to sneak him a debut at some stage. I guess you're even more appalled...
There was a stretch late last year I thought he would be a good fit for bench spot just in case anything had happened to Blayke leading into finals.
While I'd love to see more games like yesterday from Blayke, and hope we can, I'm a bit higher on his typical game of make a load of tackles and get to hooker a lot providing good service. He has a high floor but just rarely (often through the way the rest of the team are going) plays much above it.
It is great to have a really strong backup hooker, who as a bonus has been surplus to requirement, but also good to hear the likes of Healey in particular but also probably Wilson and TBrailey are creating pressure from underneath to the point he may be looking surplus to requirement.
I've been interested for a while now in seeing how Blayke plays knowing he is only on for around 65 and if not being conservative with his tank opens up his running more often. Starting McInnes to take the sting out and then let Brailey come in fresh was my take however an injection of a 17 like Healey could be interesting, and probably can help cover in spine if needed.
