Quote: Rocknrolla69er "The way it's worded it sounds like the option of a further year was in Houghtons favour not the clubs.
The decline in his concentration and distribution, I can't see him playing much, being used as backup in the way Johnstone was before he left.
Guessing it's either that or pay him off.........'"
That’s how I understood it as well. Guessing it’ll be Houghton starting, Dwyer off the bench and Lovodua slotting in somewhere. As long as Dwyer isn’t on a big wage then I can cope with it, but if Houghton had the option to extend his own deal, then it’s hard to justify going into 2023 with four hookers for, at most, two positions. Personally it should be Lovodua, Houghton OR Dwyer and Balmforth. Four is crazy.
