Different players bring different skill sets
Hooper is just dynamic with ball in hand. He has explosive speed and is very strong in cntact often breaking tackles and getting us on the front foot. He is a great go forward man for his small stature. He just has explosive acceleration. Speed is power.
Hooper is a great cover defender also and a great defender in general. The bloke has a massive motor
The conventional 7 isn't always the fetcher in the modern game. He is often the tackler and the next man in ie the six or number 8 is often the pilferer.
Hodgo is one of the best in Australia currently at turnovers.
We can't criticise Hooper though. He often creates breaks and offloads and has a great knack of getting across the chalk. His best footy is in front of him as well which is exciting. Pocock better learn to play number 8.
