Houghtons defence is 2nd to none at the club but Heremia brings something completely different in attack and we look a lot more dangerous going forward with him on.

I we look after him and he looks after himself we can get far more than just 1 more year out of him. For me so far he is the best player on our books presently. Changes the game as soon as he comes on. Direct fast and intelligent. Why on earth we would a) be debating keeping him b) stating he can stay but on reduced terms is beyond me.

Pretty hard to judge Cunningham after only one SL game for the club.

I think he has all the raw talent and stood out massively in most games I saw at under 19's, needs to SL games and is getting that at london and looks like he is impressing.

Silly to write him off so early.

Agreed - and it would be up to Cunningham to win a spot in the first team simply by being good enough. Exactly how it should be.

Agree with the general consensus.
2 year extended deal should be getting shoved under his nose as I type.

Would love to see him stay on for couple more years, Adds slightly more dynamism than Houghton and that's why they work well together as a paring, they create different problems.

His passion for the club is great too, he seemed genuinely upset at the Saints game when he came over to applaud the fans.

In a nutshell. Houghton slows us down dreadfully with his dummy-half play. We need to pick that pace up. You definitely notice when Azza is on.
Houghton clearly picked up Swains defensive steel, just need his acting half play to be smarter.

You will be right. For some reason i thought we offered him a super league 'life line' from a lower division....either way...2 year deal, same terms as current.

I 'd like to see us try and sign Clark from Cas .

Agreed. Get him signed up. He's been a very consistant performer for us.

Would love for him to sign an extension.
Now we've got a few options in the halves hopefully there won't be as much reliance on him to play there and can stay in the hooker position. Great player.

Just joined the chat, be gentle!!! Would love Heremaia to stay at the club for at least a further year. He also works hard with the academy lads, i'm led to believe, and he mentions young Alex Shepherdson as a real prospect in the hooking role. Heremaia brings an injection of pace and direction every time he gets on the park, and compliments Houghton's defensive start to the game.

Sign him on a two year deal .

Have a contract under his nose on Monday, 1 or 2 years, but I personally think reduced terms would be a bit insulting for how well he's served us so far.

Me too. If anything he deserves an increase rather than a reduction.
