I dont see why people rave about Danny Houghton but its all opinions I suppose.

i dont mean to offend but why does nobody understand the role tommy lee plays in the team. Most people who have played the game will notice and even a few that have not, he has been one of the better players this year and allows danny houghton to play the role he is very good at. give the lad a break i think he is doing a good job.

Danny Houghton is a cracking player, I can't speak highly enough of him, however, much the same as Roby at Saints, he isn't an 80 minute player and won't have nearly the same effect if he started games. Lee is a solid player, he defends very well, gives good service from dummy half and is a decent kicker. That is what you want from a hooker who is starting the game. Houghton then comes on and runs at tired defences and takes the glory for what Lee has done before him. The two of them make a good partnership imo and I would use them in that way next year and make Berro the world class centre that we have been looking for.

When can we expect to see him playing ??

Surely his first game wont be at the 'stade de caravan park'.

Well if he's available for the Derby at least one of the losers letting us down week in week out could be dropped.
Only problem is which one theres way too many losers to choose from.

If I were Agar i'd decide which one of the players is the rotten apple that is turning the rest bad, and PUT HIM ON THE TRANSFER LIST and see how many people get crushed in the stampede to sign him.

worst thing they could do to hall i.m.o. the lad may have got some confidence back from being at widnes but if we play him f.b and he has a mare it will finish the kid off for the season.

What's with all this playing Tansey at centre??

He has never hardly played there for Leeds and certainly not played well there. He should play either 1, 6, 7 or 9. Surely he has to play fullback to ready him for next season.

If he has a mare and can get over it then keep playing him.

If he has a mare and his confidence is shattered THEN GET RID OF HIM END OF SEASON

If he can't get over a bad game then he doesnt have the mental strength required to play at that level.

I'd prefer he played centre personally but would rather have Tansey as a better defensive player in the right side channel instead of Horne G who is well out of form in defence.

I'd like Horne R at full back but he's not worth a place in the team right now. LEGEND or not he'd be on last chance to stay at the club for me. Been hugely dissappointed with him this season.

Me neither. It's even more special to put Hall at fullback in the same lineup. Match those with Radford at LF and we might as well go the whole hog and try Berrigan at prop, Raynor to scrum half, and Thorman out on the wing.

he might have a better game then wouldt touch the ball out on the wing
