Don’t worry about the praise our Danny gets, he was anointed in Queens Gardens by twenty thousand, and affirmed the following year at the City Hall.

Excellent

Oh, there’s no doubting the level of appreciation from Hull fans.

Even I advocated his Man of Steel award, or at least anticipated it. While pointing out his uncanny resemblance to cro-magnon man, admittedly.

I just wonder whether it is more stereotyping him than it is celebrating his talent. To some extent it is both, imo.

I wonder if he embraces it or whether he feels a bit like ‘there is more to my game than that’.

When he switches to loose forward, does he play in a noticeably different way. Or does he just tackle a lot without going into dummy half so much?

Gets his hands on the ball a lot, and to good effect. To be fair, we’ve maybe been guilty of not using those skills enough.

Better distribution and finding touch with decent kicks. Becomes another pivot.

Very good player, and could well become the first to reach 400 appearances for Hull since Brian Hancock. That’d be some achievement in the modern era.

I think a lot of Hull fans (me included) take him for granted and don’t realise how good he actually is. Think he’s the glue that holds it all together.
Like the previous poster said, he’s really capable at being another pivot. Think it shoes how he sacrifices some of his abilities for the greater good of the team.
In 40 years of watching Hull I can count on one hand the number of players I’ve actually had a conversation with (never meet your heroes ), but Danny H is one.
Think you’d struggle to meet a more humble person. Genuinely good guy.

This is a typical Rovers response, you are getting carried away, same as you did with Lunt and the likes of Keinhorst etc.

He has played one game FFS, he has been pretty average the last two season, whilst Houghton has been consistently very good, Parcell has a good running game, that's it, certainly not rounded that Houghon, Mcshane has been spoken as been better than Houghton, but Danny usually out plays him.id only have Clarke and Robyin front of Houghton.

Off topic

Buchanan scored 2 tries and 7 goals (22pts) playing at full back for Doncaster this afternoon. Hadley and Brown also played in the game.

Coventry 10 - 54 Doncaster

The only time you realise how good Houghton is is when he isnt playing

Westbrook?

Fully Agree

Over the years we have had players with unquestionable abiloty but just lacked the application, a shame, but that is just how it seems to unfold with some players.
