He's seemed to of gained some pace which is what he needed to improve on, we all know is tackling is fantastic, but it was his attack that was his downfall. He's turned that around and offers a lot more in attack now, it's great to see.

Distribution I'd a load of tosh as well really.
Watch how many times Clarke n aiton lob balls at players knees n heads.
Like for like up to aiton getting injured at Leeds the dominant team with options everywhere Houghtons stats were on a par mostly with added extras.
Houghton had he been at Leeds wigan saints etc would of been a man of steel contender at least twice by now

Well he's just come up against two of the three hookers in the England set up in Clarke and roby. In both games he has guided the team to victories. Hope Wayne Bennett is watching

With the Aussie press currently rating Josh Hodgson the best hooker in the comp, there's no way Danny will get in. It will be Hodgson and Roby, and rightly so probably. I would argue that Danny is in front of Clark now though.

It really isn't. And just pointing out that two other hookers are sometimes no better is not a convincing argument IMO.

None of which in any way makes him a bad hooker. Which some seem to be struggling with.

It wasn't just critism, it was many fans stating he wasn't good enough to take us to the next level, which is totally wrong and if we let him go most teams in SL including the top ones would be intrested like Leeds were last year. He isn't perfect but what player is, some Hull want that perfect player, Briscoe use to get plenty of critism, but was a fantastic player and one of the best in SL.

Houghton is and was a fantastic player and in our top 3 most important players, as said he isn't going anything different to previous season, just the rest of the team are playing to his standards.

Not sure on his deal, but we should looking at getting him a longer deal if it's anywhere close to finishing.
