Hooker

Hookers are strong, powerful forwards who typically pride themselves on doing the dirty work to get the job done. Happy to run in to contact or tackle a pod of forwards and take on the opposition up front. Where Hookers should take pride is the scrum and lineout. A hooker should aim for perfect throwing at an attacking lineout, not giving the opposition a chance of stealing the ball. At scrum time hookers should be firstly ball focused hooking the ball back then using their strength to provide a solid pushing platform for the pack. Hookers should know all the lineout moves and have a very good relationship with the props to make up the front row of the scrum.
