Don't know how many tackles,carries,assists,kicks,metres etc but unbelievable.
Ellis n Sneyd kind of rightly getting massive plaudits over this easter period but thought he deserved some praise as I think his own consistency and what we just expect off him hurts him in terms of getting the raps he deserves!

Looks better this year off the back of a pack which in general gets a quicker play the ball than we've had in previous seasons.

Been fantastic and unlucky not to win more penalties tonight.

I have been his biggest critic. I was wrong

Speaking as a Red and White, I have never understood how you black and whites have ever questioned Danny Houghton as being a reliable and top class acting half-back (or dummy half to those who are more literally persuaded) .......Danny is the centre of your team ......You are lucky to have him ......Without him you would be just another average team fighting for survival!

2014/15 DH distribution and ability to make breaks was seriously affected by having to take the brunt of the workload for 80 mims game after game after game. As the season progressed he got more jaded and his effectiveness dwindled.
That said, without him we would have been relegated in 2014.
Washbrook has been taking some of the dummy half workload off his hands at least, not sure on what his tackling stats are but I wanted our better/bigger pack to take up some of this so he wasn't as jaded.
So far he's being fantastic, I sure hope we don't let him flog himself and he goes off the boil

This but not sure about relegation though.

That's you and Wakey's perogative.

I've always liked Houghton for his work rate and commitment but I have criticised his distribution in the past as a key reason for our poor attack. This season we have seen a combination of forwards who are winning the floor and getting quick ptb's, and a reduction in his work load, and he looks a much better player for it.

That said he has made 95 tackles in 2 games. I'd certainly be looking at going back to Washy spelling him for 20 mins per game as was probably the original plan.

We were 12 points ahead of Bradford.

Relegation was never going to happen.

IMO Houghton playing as well this year as well as any I've seen. A very important cog for us

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.

Take it back about Wakefield. Just the Dobbins.

He did brilliantly to get out of the line to get to Fages just enough to put him off his drop kick attempt which was a real turning point.
