Hooker tips

[zebediah]

I've been playing rugby for almost 3 years now. Almost exclusively at hooker (some wing forward and loose head too)

I was just wondering if you guys know any tricks (for hookers) to make life easier. I play a very square game, so just as long as it is within the rules or just "bending" them I am cool with it.

I just know that my biggest problem are line outs when the ball gets really sloppy due to rain and mud.
Thanks!

Grow some stubble and keep it short and spiky, then continually rub it in the opposition's face in a scrum.

*Must not make prossie joke*

Get a coach or linesman to have a towel on standby, failing that you can get some glove similar to the QB in NFL.

Or a short skirt
