big loss for us imo for the 1st time in god knows how long we've got a loose foward instead of a make shift one! his defence will be missed out wide.

For those of you who remember paulwalton, he's imwakefieldtillidie so I'm sure you realise his points aren't really very valid! Ngb4c has just got worse as the seasons gone on and clearly doesn't have a very good understanding of the game and the role of a loose forward. Howarth has been one of our best signings this season and is quite clearly a super league standard player and for me a future captain.

A clever, busy player that we are going to miss

Paul is it true your a secret cas fan, I heard you named your cat after them?

we are going to miss him, one of the stand out players of the season so far for me. hope you recover soon stu!

Never understood his role in the loose forward position as i dont think he has a gr8 kicking and passing game but will miss his defence .

Jason Demetriou, Tevita Leo Latu, Monty Betham, Glen Morrison (to an extent). All previous LF's, none have a decent kicking game, none have a passing game as good as Howarth in my opinion. Some have/had a very good work rate and defence. We've generally used the LF as an extra forward with little flair or creative with ball in hand.

In my mind, Howarth will prove to be an outstanding signing and has the leadership qualities required and coming from the Wigan academy has numerous similarities in his game to Sean O'Loughlin

We're gonna miss him. Nothing wrong with his passing or kicking.

I remember it was Howarth that sent a long pass out for Morton's first try, a kick through for Morton's second try at Crusaders.

there's nothing wrong with Howarth's defence.
Can't understand how some of you see how a player plays.

I guess my point is i would like to see a LF playing as a LF . With Moore making his way into the side we should look at moving Lee to loose or even Morrison . As pivots go - we really struggle in this departent .

I can tell you with 100% certainty, I am not, and never have been, paulwalton. And the funny thing is, Uptoncat, you do actually know who I am



As for Howarth, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.

My apologies then! Sorry but I'm right about howarth. He's a great defender, good hands, good short kicking game and has created plenty of our tries. Don't know what games you've been watching if you don't recognise how good a loose forward he actually is.

I think Howarth had a slow start but was starting to blossom in the LF role as the season was progressing and the injury game at a bad time. Heres hoping he makes a speedy recovery.
