be interesting to see the tackle count from today, he seemed to be in just about every tackle at one point in the second half. tickle put a shift in too in this area as did westy. we have had to replace fitz's 40 - 50 tackles a game with others chipping in and we did that well today

Danny had a blinder today quick hands from scrum when he packed down as loose man.
Looks like the team have been told not to let kicks bounce if they can catch. Couple of diving catches reminded me of gary kemble

After watching the highlights, Houghton's passes to both Tickle's tries were top drawer.

First was well timed from PTB to Ticks running a good strong line, second was a no look pass! Was class!

My MOTM yesterday, Very good performance from him and a decent kicking game.

His stats from Sunday look outstanding:

Try assists 2
Meters 97
Carries 25
Tackles 43
Attacking Kicks 2
Runs from dummy half 19
Tackle Busts 3
Marker tackles 3
Clean Breaks 1
Kicks in general play 7
Missed tackles 0
Errors 1
Penalties 0

If he can cut out that one error, he'll be OK. Let's him down does that.

He'll never make it as a SL player with efforts like that

Excellent work, well done danny!!!

Superb.

Thought he had a great game. if anything he was doing too much himself on Sunday and needed more support at times. He has really upped his game in the last 12 months and if he can continue to improve his running game and distribution then I only see roby as a better English hooker

It would be interesting to compare those stats to Robys, Roby looked great against London, but I net Houghtons not far off him this year.

Roby is a freak, the best player in SL for me, every week he puts in a great performance, would love to see him in the NRL.

His stats for Saturday are outstanding.

Houghton is the 2nd best hooker in the league IMO, and should be in the England squad at the end of the year, him and Roby would be an excellent partnership for England.
