We have an option for another year, so what's the issue?

Last shot...

Hull Kingston Rovers have signed hooker Josh Hodgson from Hull FC on a two-year deal from the start of 2010.
The 19-year-old has been playing for Hull’s reserve team and has made two first-team appearances.
Hodgson will be Rovers’ second-choice hooker after Ben Fisher as Daniel Fitzhenry is returning to Australia at the end of the season.
“I was offered a chance to stay at Hull FC but I decided to go Rovers because I think I’ll have an opportunity to play more first-team rugby,” said Hodgson.
“It’s been a really tough decision and an emotional one and at Hull they’ve got a lot of good young hookers and a lot of good back rowers as well, so I think there’s more chance of breaking into the first team at Rovers.”

Where as Houghton hasn't even got close to getting an England cap

Cause Lovodua would offer miles more than Houghton does

And that's what I'm trying to get across Houghton and Taylor are definitely sentimental now

Both nowhere near the best in their positions ( Houghton never has ) Taylor spends far too much time in the stands last 3 years

Based on?

If Lovodua was English would he be the England hooker? I'd say it's too early to tell. It would certainly be controversial if he was picked ahead of the players who get picked ahead of Mint after only playing 40 minutes at hooker in Superleague.

I give Taylor benefit of the doubt for now, prior his injury last season he was starting to really show some form in his game, he has been solid since his return.

Houghton I agree, Hooker is such an important position and I couldn't name a good SL side he would get in. I don't get any pleasure in bashing one of our own but I do think there are many better 9's out there

You obviously didn’t bother reading my previous post.

When Litten has won two CC finals and man of steel comeback and I'll agree.

If KR are willing to offer the likes of Hadley, Litten, Abdull and Hodgson lots more money than us then let them go, not all about the cash sometimes, Litten done ok not amazing, Hadley been injured virtually every season, Abdull done well last season but needs to keep backing it up.

Hadley, unfortunately, was and still is injury prone.

Barely finished a match for us.

Hell be a legend for tackle 52 but that was what won him man of steel

Ellis was the best player by a country mile in 2016

Wed have won the challenge cup in them years regardless who the hooker was

2016 and 2017 the squad we had we could and perhaps should of won all 3 trophies

Albert Kelly was the big reason we won in 2017 was a class above at his best

Luke gale has won man of steel and challenge cups and been picked for England..... Yet some would rather play mcnamara!

Cause if Danny houghton was the best player in 2016

Why didn't he get in the England 2016 squad?

All the England coaches clearly agree with me as he hasn't got close to a call up ever

Why? Cause he's not good enough

Oh you can't say that on here mate

Danny Houghton can't do no wrong to some on here

Yeah if Taylor can stay fit then he's still a good prop who's played international level

Danny Houghton can't do any good to some on here
