when will we get the respect we deserve?

Hookers are paid less than other positions. They are not required to hook as much as before. This is because more players are available. Hookers should go on strike to demand better pay. They should also campaign for proper hooking. The highest paid position was tighthead. England lost the World Cup final to South Africa. It is possible that the reason is that hookers do not have to hit the ball. More players available means clubs can pay less. There are more hooker players so clubs have difficulty in recruiting. If hook players go to strike, they might get paid better.
