Who mentioned the last year's, you said that Houghton has NEVER offered a threat going forward which is nonsense, as he use to offer a great threat, but for various reasons (mainly overworked) he hadn't offered for the last few years so has been disappointing going forward.

Hopefully being spelled with another hooker will get some of his old form back, playing less minutes.

No one has said he is as good as Roby or Clarke, so no idea why you even mention that, there has been some outstanding hookers hookers during Houghtons time at Hull, so no shame in jot getting a cap.

Like Connor you have a chip on your shoulder about certain players and will never see past it.

Houghton was a very good SL hooker for alot of years (including dream team in 2016), been average for the last few years, but I believe he can still have an impact if used correctly.

If he doesn't improve this should be his last season at Hull IMO.

Even better than that - he was Man of Steel.

Cause we can do alot better than Houghton

Lovodua was a breath of fresh air last week and shows how much better than houghton would be

100% Houghton would not have scored the try Lovodua did he would of just done what he always does at loose man just catch the ball and pass it straight to the next man

Tackle 52 was the reason he got man of Steel and dream team

Ellis was our best player by a mile in 2016

Utter nonsense again most 9s do 80 minutes Roby did 80 minutes every week until last year or two

A hooker is there for attack and defence ( Houghton is just a tackler for 100k a year )

Tackle 52 won him that 100%

Hell be a legend for tackle 52 no doubt as we'd have lost that day without that tackle

But he offers nothing in attack

As an aside , watching a very slim and fit-looking Albert Kelly playing for Brisbane Broncos this morning. Just shows how some of that Hull team were not as fit as they could have been.

What are you babbling about?

Agreed he wouldn't have scored that try, who said he who?

You said he has NEVER been a threat, which is rubbish, I don't think you watched us in 2016 if you think he won that on the back on one tackle, you think the majority players in the league voted for him in the basis of one tackle, are the players that stupid?

He set up and scored lots of trys in 2016/17, along with years before I suggest you watch some highlights from those seasons and then tell me all he has done for all of his career is tackle.

A further match added for a frivolous challenge.

Unlikely given that MoS is a Super League based award. He made 1359 tackles in Super League that year, a record that still stands.

Tackling again that's my point

Name me a hooker that can't tackle.....ill be waiting a while

Roby will show today what a proper 9 does attack and defence whilst been the leader
