Quote: al283 "So nobody has Houghton in the 17 ?? Can't see that happening.
Fingers crossed for Joe Cator, he was great before his injuries, loads of enthusiasm & decent pace. To me a better version of Ellis Longstaff, stronger & more experienced. Think he is OOC this year so hope he is back to his best.
Great to have such a squad available, should allow those carrying knocks to miss a week rather than turning out at 80%. Good young forwards in the wings - best crop I can remember for a while.'"
I agree about Houghton
Cant see Smith leaving him out although Lovodua on the bench is probably the better option
wouldnt be surprised if the club organise a closed doors friendly this weekend to give a run out to the likes of Savelio and Carlos
