I wonder if that's because he is getting better quality passes from the Scrum half , always felt when he played on the outside of sneyd he got some right bad flat passes from him

He is nowhere near the player I watched playing for Parramatta and Tonga but is having a better season this year.

Sneyd been found out, even Salford fans are starting to see it, much better last two games without him.

You have watched Balmforth for 25 minutes in which he carried the ball twice and made 5 tackles, he is an 18 year old kid playimg bottom of the league in a dominant display. I think you ate getting carried away.
Big risk to no with him and Lovodua (who has hardly played at hooker) next season.
Think we need to either keep Houghton or replace him.
But if he stays he needs resting to get the best out if him.

Think he has been pretty decent all the time, but stepped up this year, had a few injuries which haven't helped and as has been said, much better now he us getting better ball.

It's easy to get carried away with youngsters. The step from 18 to 20 is hard for any young lad but for a professional athlete a lot can happen in that time. Balmforth looks the real deal but he isn't there yet.
I think having Houghton but spelling him with Balmforth would be ideal. Lovadua (hopefully), MacNamara and Hookem can cover the position.
It'd have to be a big signing to replace Mint, say Brad Dwyer or Sam Powell. I can't see either of them coming to us which means someone from the NRL. That'll be expensive and a risk and it might mean Denive not getting much time on the pitch.
Pragmatically, Houghton goes round again for me.

Even so, he's still the best player in our squad.

Whilst at times I have been critical of Houghton in the most part its due to the way we flog him for 80mins week in week out thats the issue rather than Houghton himself. I'd give him a 1 year extension with a view to bringing Balmforth through for 2024.
We just need to spell Houghton better in games to get the maximum performances from him as unfortunately father time is catching up with him and 80 mins every week even thiough he can just about make it we don't get the best out of him as an individual or as a team doing so.

To be fair to Hodgson, I'm sure Lovodua would have played more games at hooker, if it wasn't for our first choice halfbacks either been poor or getting themselves suspended for stupid things.
Not sure we will see that much of Lovodua at hooker this year unfortunately.

Yeah totally agree if lovaduo was to be given the number 9 shirt next season and made first choice I'd be happy to see Danny given another year deal and be a the interchange hooker but I'd imagine if Danny gets a new deal he would still be first choice getting flogged most games

Houghton isn't even close to been a top hooker
Wouldnt get in at saints ( roby/lussick )
Wouldnt get in at Wigan ( Powell )
Wouldnt get in at wire ( clark/walker )
Wouldnt get in at catalan ( mcilorum )
Wouldnt get in at cas ( mcshane )
Wouldnt get in at rovers ( parcell/litten )
Wouldnt get in at Leeds ( dwyer/Leeming )
It's only until he finally leaves/retires we will realise how average little he brought
Tackling and the odd good kick that's it

| Jamie Shaul isn't in the club's OOC list in the HDM. So ... the daily fail can't copy and paste or we've resigned him, or someone else signed him, or he's retiring.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |
