He used to run some pretty good lines in attack but he seems sub-par at best in recent games. Could just be a form thing and I'd give him and Smith the benefit of the doubt but long term either Lane improves or we improve the squad and he doesn't feature.

Griffin makes lots of metres runs his weight in 2nd row I think he will get a late decision Tag definitely another year, Houghton depends on what’s out there.

Hooker is a real dilemna still. Houghton has played his best rugby in years recently, Dwyer is very good at what he does but isn't the man to be our main number 9. Is he happy being a 25-30 impact player off the bench? Then there's Balmforth who I really like the look of and hope we don't end up losing, but obviously he's raw. We need to go look for a quality hooker who can control a game for us, but if we find him, how do we accommodate everyone else? Tough decisions to make on who stays and who goes.

But even Houghton playing "his best rugby in years" still doesn't make you go "wow"

Dwyer was better than Houghton other night cause he makes things happen

Houghton hardly rips teams apart like clark or roby

Wakey fan. Dwyer had a huge hand in you pulling away that second half. He always causes us issues. He creates chaos at the play of ball.

Exactly what we've missed for years some real attacking intent from dummy half
