The way that BH treated him, grow up. Because he’s come through the Hull academy fans act like he’s gods gift. The reality is, he’s had chances and hasn’t taken any of them. BH has set up the academy pathway and brought in some exciting youth which will allow Tony Smith to excel.
The reality is Hookem is a hooker/ Half but for Hooker is behind Houghton, Dwyer, Lovodua, Balmforth, (probably Rutland)
And for half he’s behind Clifford, Trueman, McNamara, Lovodua, Hoy (probably similar stature in squat to Rutland and Harman).
1. Why keep someone who’s never shown enough to step up.
2. In a salary cap sport you look at younger players and they obviously offer just as much or more in the clubs opinion.
3. It’s obviously not just the leadership group with a bad attitude, we have academy players like Ferreira with bad attitudes. His mum was constantly slagging the club off on social media stating Jude should be in the first team playing every week but only managed about 11 games for a poor London Broncos side
Didn't take his chances, what chances was that, he played 4 games
Sub against Warrington and Rovers (played 5 minutes)
and against Leeds and Wigan, games which 60 points was put against us.
Is that the right environment to show what he can do?
Hookem was getting good gametine at Whitehaven, Hodgson called him back when we had no halfbacks to not play him and play Johnstone at 7 against Toulose at home, that would have been the type of to show what he can do.
Played underperforming players like Reynolds, Johnstone and Gale, rather than give Hookem a chance.
Maybe he won't make it, but to say he got a fair chance and didn't take his chances is total nonsense.
