I can understand houghtons friends fighting his corner , but legend he isn’t . How do you become one when you haven’t played 1 game of international rugby , or is it based on his defence which has been exceptional. He’s been flogged because he can do 80 minutes, because of his limitations, and also because we’ve never looked at anybody else , probably because he’s hull born . Decent player and a good person but legend , why ! We’ve had a lot better hookers but not called legends over the years , or does that only happen when you’ve played a certain amount of games !

Our only ever man of Steel? How do you define legend?

It shouldn't based on international caps, the international game is a joke.

I'd like to see him replaced by Matt Parcell.

No thanks. Not worth a quota spot, plays limited minutes these days and has a job waiting outside of rugby.

As an outsider looking in I'd say that Houghton is an Fc legend, it's what he's done for Fc and not on the international scene that should define his Fc legend status.
Hes absolute gash nowadays obviously but you'll always remember his efforts in black n white.

Understand that Tristan Sailor could be back on the cards

Heard this too, seems a strange move, not sure fullback is our biggest priority though.

And to use a quota spot when we need a centre, hooker and backrower more, unless Whitehead rumour is true.

It’s not a position I’d class as priority however it is one we can improve on. I think Walker is a steady player however that’s as far as it stretches. Having that ball playing FB creates so many more questions for opposition defences. With Trueman and Abdull in the halves I’d think we’d have a good balance across the three, throw in a new hooker along with Borouh and I’d be happy with that.

Sadly I think he’d have much better suitors then Hull but if they did manage to pull it off he’d be way better then anyone we could field at fullback, 6 and centre too. He’s a potential superstar at SL level we need match winners regardless of position. Trueman/Abdull/Charles as the 7 alongside someone like Sailor at 6 would actually be exciting.

Think we be favourites if he comes to SL, quota spot, plenty of cap and currently coached by our new coach.

I'd be all for it, if we can still sign a quality centre, hooker and backrower.

Sailor can cover 6 as well, which could be useful with Trueman and Abdul

Walker could play centre…

Heard Walker has been unhappy and is looking for a way back in at Leeds.

He's better than Miller tbf
