Is this is the case I would hope that the club have a plan for the hooking position as the club must of new that this could happen.

Why? Is Houghton planning on quitting to be a house husband?

agree 100%, they should plan pregnancy and paternity leave around the fixtures afterall! (not)

I'm assuming Dave means that the club are aware that Mrs H is about to drop and could lose Danny at short notice for a game. Therefore, they would have a back up plan for the hooking role when it happened.

Thanks, I thought it was fairly obvious, obviously not to some people.

Still nobody has answered my question, in such a key position, if Heremia can't play the 80, who backs him up?

Stilts!

Do you remember when you we used to occasionally move Paul King back to hooker? That was fun to watch if not always effective. Who is the best ball handling prop we've got? Thomson? That'd be an alarming 10 minute spell for all concerned.

I assumed that too, but decided to be a about it.

Heremaia can do 80, if he needs 10 either side of HT we could stick Whiting in there, although I'm not convinced he'll play.

Hadley? Did a spell against Featherstone so could be an option

Good call.

Really got a good feeling about Hadley, think he's going to be a superstar. He just oozes class.

player miller off the bench. 10 mins before half time, ten mins after half time, include 10mins for half time that's given azza 30 mins rest...jobs a good un

Horne to 9, Westy to 6, Whiting to 13?

Way too much shuffling around to have to do though.
