hooker, running the ball

Question
hi I'm relatively new to the hooker position, i just got into a pro club
development program. i can do the throwing. but i need to know what the
hookers job is around the park. do i hit all the rucks or do i play as a another
back row.
secondly i play guys 2 years older than me so its not easy to run through
them anymore, at the moment i run it more like a big center i sidestep then
shake off the contact ?.
and what would be considered a fast hundred meter time for a 16 year old

cheers Nick

Answer
Hi Khrys

What you are seems to  work so keep doing it. Don't over think things what works in the moment is best. Each situation calls for its own solution.

Various options are there;

Run through a guy
run around a guy
draw a guy and pass off to a team mate
hit the guy and go to the ground quick for your forwards to blow over in a ruck
hit the guy and stay on your feet turning to have a team mate strip the ball off you and start a maul.

Each is correct if the situation calls for it or equally wrong if put to use at the wrong time

I can't sat what a fast time would be that is not what I have experience in.
