Indeed,Lunt over Houghton... seriously!

This season with the reduction in the number of interchanges it will be interesting to see how teams that regularly spelled the hookers will fair. We know what we get with Danny Houghton he can do 80mins and are usually a better side with him in it. Last season he was pretty much below his previous and usual standard but then no body else was that great either for various reasons.

At times his distribution is poor and laboured but is that all down to Houghton alone, or more to do with the way Radford sets the team to play. Our attacking deficiencies aren't down to Danny Houghton it's down to whats seems like a lack of attacking structure and options in Radfords game plans or if we do have that then we have a group of players that are incapable or carrying any of it out.

I think it will be a narrow defeat, they have the edge at halfback if Connor is out, previous seasons our pack would have got us home, but we are weaker whilst Rovers are stronger.

Personally if Connor is out id go with Scott and Griffin, if he is available Griffin and Miloudi.

I don't think the result is a forgone conclusion like some Rovers fans think and I don't think, but we will need to show some real fight and take our chances which we failed to do so many times last year.

So other than being able to play for 80 minutes he's has not really anything going for him.

Tackle 53, why don't you go on your own board and discuss your own team (just an idea, may be a bit outlandish)

Play nicely.
Seaons nearly underway and you don't want another ban.

I might be on my own on this but Lunt is starting to become a liability he seems to be injured all the time now as for houghton I think been flogged to death for 10 years is starting to show

Connor plays we win, he doesn’t we lose.

We need to get away from the middle and get the ball to Los and Griffin who up against Vaivai and Keinhorst would really fancy their chances.

If Connor doesn’t play it’ll be interesting to see who plays 6, I’m hearing it’s Washbrook.

Try again!!! I said (as a hull fan) we know what we get from Danny Houghton so don't feel the need to explain it to you as its no concern of yours being a rovers troll sorry I meant fan. We also have a player who we know can play 80mins which as I said will be interesting to see how teams fair this season that regularly spelled their hookers.

Lunt is a decent player but I wouldn't have him in over Houghton.

I agree with FTF that flogging him for 80mins for the past decade may now be taking its toll and last season wasn't a great one by his standards. However as I said he wasn't the only below par last season and this season its for all those players to prove the doubters wrong and make amends for last season.

If Connor doesn't play then I hope its not Washy at 6 as we will be just too static and slow, I'd like to see Miloudi given the chance at 6 as he has a bit of pace and bit of 'maverick' in his ability and would give us much more of an attacking threat than Washy.

Yes Washy would be a dependable and reliable option but would make us even more one dimensional than we already are and it would be far too easy for Rovers to defend against us as I'm afraid we will offer very little threat in the halfs.

100% agree. Miloudi at 6 with Dawson-Jones on the wing.

Your quite right! You didnt start it, It was a fellow fan of yours stating we where at full strength.
