It depends what people want from their hookers these days, if you want a hooker that's tackle all day but at the expense of their attacking play and can also be very ropey with pass selections then Houghtons your man.

If you want a more well rounded hooker with better ball distribution and attacking threat if use Faraimos over seas spot on a hooker. I'd see how Johnstone goes this season first though, I've no doubt if he d come on against Warrington late, we d of won the game.

I agree about Manu Mau too, hasn't hit the heights here , could he draw defenders in and get more offloads out, or run better lines? As someone's said 33 and I think his overseas spot and wage could be used on an upgrade.

Does he make that choice?

He's got a 50% chance of going left or right unless someone in a better position is able to give him a clue.

Yes he passes the ball lol
I'd worry if he didn't decide who he's passing too, he does it too many times, picks the wrong first receiver.

Brown in golden point was a prime example, 4th tackle could of got us right under the sticks, instead Houghton passed it to Cator who clearly wasn't expecting it who then proceeded to get it to Connor it was a hashed set that could of won us the game. Happens a lot.

Who do you think Hodgsons alluding too when he's speaking about our attack, game management improvements to be made? As I thought it was obviously Sneyd and Houghton who at times get the end of plays wrong

Been better with Reynolds in the team but seemed to go to crap again now Josh is injured.

I think if you've aspirations of winning super league, you've always got to be evolving, I think the obvious areas are the attacking side of the hooking role, and the wing roles that need a good look at and upgrade

Just my opinion of course.

Definitely right about Houghton

Had it not been for tackle 52 he'd have been released 2 or 3 years ago

Offers nothing in attack ever and has lived on tackle 52

Clark, Roby, mcshane, Dwyer, parcel, lussick are all better than Houghton

I've said for a long time Houghton holds our attack back with no threat from dummy half

Just what I thought Lazy repoorting

Has Jake signed his new deal??

Sky sports RL just tweeted a GIF of a snake... FC liked it... I'm probably putting 2+2 together and getting it completely wrong...

FC are the only SL team to like the tweet

FC just shared the tweet

It's happening!!!

It probably makes sense, doesn’t the anti tampering law cease on Saturday

They've been featuring "Zak Hardaker vs Jake Connor: Battle of the full-backs" for a day or two now,

Looks like you're right

https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/r ... ss-3269201 Will be gutted if he goes elsewhere. Leeds still interested?

Five current fc players signed new deals but not been announced a bit like the Shaul deal last season. Connor, Cator, Griffin, Ma'u and Brown

No Satae, Sao and Savelio thoigh, would be gutted to lose any of these.

HDM reporting that Setae, Sao and Savelio no longer on the RFL out of contract list so lets hope they've resigned with us.

We've a one year option on Satae anyway, the rest may have found other clubs.

I’m sure discussions are going on all the time.
When there is that many players OOC it won’t happen overnight.

Just read that, hopefully they have signed with us, think they will have or we would have heard a rumour about them signing for another club.

I'd also keep Wynne, Fash and McNamara.

Interesting as I thought Johnstone and Shaul were OOC, maybe they have signed with us or another club.

Johnstone contracted 'til 2022.

I'd like to think that Satae, Sao & Savelio have now resigned and its just awaiting release to the media/fans along with Connor, Cator, Griffin, Ma'u and Brown.

I'd agree that had any players decided to leave and signed elsewhere for next season then we'd have heard something but not even the faintest of a Wilfs Wiff on any of them unlike Faraimo.

Still think the piece recently about Satae being very settled here and wanting to stay, then the piece about him and Sao being almost inseparable can only be a positive on the re signing front.

Surprised Shaul isn't on the list as only thought he'd signed a 1 year deal at the time of his injury.

Really hope we can add to Satae, Sao & Savelio rather than replace . The transfer market not looking to good for clubs so far .Really impressed with all three this season .

As I have said a lot over the last few weeks it's disappointing that the Club announce nothing on players signing although we know that several have indeed sorted out their future at the Club and the lack of anything official coming out at all does tend to unsettle the fans looking forward to the future. When players like Connor Satae Savelio, Swift and Sao are obviously such big assets and the future of the club depends a lot on them, it would be nice to have some confirmation of what going on. Since Clarky took over as Chief executive it's been so quiet and I wonder if that is a change of policy at the Club. I guess looking back I can't remember a quieter time on team information really, just at a time when the club need to excite the fans and get them back into Stadiums.
