I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg |

You might not think it's his job to be first man in the tackle but not a lot you can do if they come straight at you/target you. Last time I checked, a hooker is a forward!

To be fair, Houghton is mostly the 2nd man in the tackle.. |

To be fair, anybody slagging houghtons defence off is a moron! Wears is heart on is sleeve , could make better decisions in attack, but he's everything you want from a local lad , 100% every week , no matter how e the rest of the te are playing

| Quote: airliebird9 "Not sure where all this Houghton bashing has come from??
2 seasons ago he was SL top tackler over the course of the full season. He consistently puts in 40+ tackles a game and often puts in an 80 minute stint. His work rate is top drawer! His attacking prowess is not of the same ilk as say James Roby but he does contribute with yards going forward from dummy half and the odd grubber or kick over the top.
As for mixing it in the middle of the park, isn't that what the big guys who surround the hooker are for???!!! ![]()
the criticism is that he hasn't really progressed over the last 2/3 years, and still has big issues with his distribution and attacking play.
No one can fault his effort, but at the same time I am disappointed that he hasn't progressed enough to be in the England squad right now, which is missing its first and second choice hookers.

I've been told this morning that Miller is heading to Wakefield - apologies if posted previously.

Houghton's attacking has improved and the stats back this up, despite this being our poorest season in a few years, his attacking stats are the best in his career, this year he scored 9 trys and had 11 assists (combined 20) which is double any previous season, his average gain was also more than any of the previous 5 seasons also. His distribution isn't perfect, but since the criticism of him this year, I watched Clarke and his isn't any better. Our halfs don't help as they often stand too far back, hopefully this will change with Sneyd and Pryce and they will help Houghton out. I really don't understand the the Houghton bashing, watch the one game he missed this season (Catalans away) and see how much he was missed, our acting half play that game was so slow and we really missed him, had he played we would have won that game IMO.
He isn't perfect, but which hooker is, there isn't many I would swap him for in SL and if he became available I would bet plenty of top sides would try and sign him.
Back on topic I reckon Rovers will try and sign Tahu now that Nev has jumped ship.

They've just announced that Ryan Bailey is joining them from 2015 for two seasons. That should make the derby matches a little bit more interesting! |

Agreed.
My concern at hooker is that Cunningham can't fill Hazza's boots. I like Houghton a lot. Staying off topic, does anyone have an opinion on Brad Parker? He was picked for England this year so I assume he is in with a chance of making it. |

Unlikely given Wakefield don't have any non-fed trained places remaining. |
