[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 627296, member: 70842"] Suppose it will be interesting to see how Leicester goes about Thacker, his lineouts from what I have seen is good, and he is good at the breakdown, his dad Troy was a former Tigers hooker for 5 years before retiring due to injury, he also has at least 1 brother in the tigers youth system. What weight would you guys reckon a hooker should be to play top flight rugby? Cockerill take on Thacker. "You could look at Harry Thacker and think, 'He is going to be too small'," said Cockerill. "But I have watched him train and you can't worry about that. You have to judge him on what you see. "Every time he has stepped up at senior level he has not struggled and, against the Ospreys, he didn't struggle again. "At some point, he may well struggle because of his size. But if he fills out as much as his dad has done, he will be all right. "He works hard and he has got a great attitude. He has pushed himself forward again and put pressure on people like Neil Briggs. Can he do that in the Premiership against bigger and stronger sides? We'll have to wait and see."
