Hooker not only won his points section, but made it look effortless with great movement and timing. He has been on top form lately with a club spokesperson saying: “Harlee is showing that perseverance when things don’t go your way will reap you the benefits. When you don’t win as long as you learn you will definitely be on a winning streak again with the right attitude and effort.”
