Excellent another 80 minutes of him at hooker. Even uis defence looks shakey these days.

The bloke was out on his feet yesterday, it's inexcusable how Hodgson uses him.

Especially as the bench contained....two hookers

Not confident at all. I'll see how I feel later on in the week....

Exactly after 25 mins Houghton was out on his feet and it was criminal that the Coach left him out their and continues to do so. If you watched wherever Houghton tried to go in the line to catch a breath St's just pinpointed and exploited him and just went through like a hot knife through butter, yet Hodgson still persisted on leaving him out. I'll give Houghton credit for trying to keep going but the time has come for him to tell Hodgson he can no longer do 80 mins. He is at the stage the same as Ellis was were when he'd played 80mins he needs more than a week to recover otherwise he's a liability in the defensive line and in one that already brittle is just giving opposition teams a field day.

It's not new either as Hodgson has done it almost every time since he took over as Coach, even the oppostion know that Houghton will be out on hios feet after 30mins even more so in the energy sapping heat.

This is another reason why I just don't see Hodgson as the right guy for the job as Head Coach.

Not sure how any hooker could be expected to do 80 mins by themselves against Roby and Lussick, especially in that heat and with a forward pack that were slowly plodding back to get in the defensive line

I won't post in full what I've been told but its fair to say it sounds like it's been an explosive day at the training ground

You can't say that then not follow it up with anything



Hope a few home truths were exchanged

More details please, probably needs to happen, let's see how the players respond?

If he plays for Wakey, put all your savings on him scoring a try.

If he plays against us it tells you all you need to now about how we are run. He's our player and should play against us. Seem Simm and Sts.

One day too late.
