It won't go down well and I doubt anyone else will mention it, but Houghton took a couple of very poor options at important times. Twice on the fourth tackle within their 20 he scooted when it simply wasn't on. We had a good, deep line with Long demanding the ball and Houghton went himself despite their line being set. It's this sort of thing that he really needs to cut out of his game if he's ever going to be anything more than a decent SL player.
That apart, he was good again and there were only really a couple of poor passes that he could really be faulted for otherwise.

Quote ="Mrs Barista"Whereas others prefer the rather snooty view that Houghton's direct and energetic play is somehow less valuable than Berrigan's because of Berrigan's NRL career, and those praising Houghton's current form are halfwits.
Houghton is young and still has plenty to learn, but IMO is developing fast into a very good hooker at this level. He needs more consistency, which should come with time, and sometimes better decision-making but he's learning with experience. I like Berrigan, and there's a really good example of what he does best here in the "We are Hull FC!" montage on about 2 minutes 20 of a lovely delayed assist to Tickle.

I just want to see more of it, week in week out, now we've got a pretty good pack. As for Horne, I'm a big fan and was absolutely delighted by his peak in form earlier in the season. I am concerned about his long term fitness however, not really from FC's perspective but for Richard himself as I hope he's not pushing himself too hard.'"
Houghton is stepping up and developing brilliantly. On current form he is our better hooker and hopefully he'll continue to develop into an oustanding player for us. However he isnt there yet and people just seem unable to be critical or pick areas of improvement.
Berro doesnt deserve to be our highest paid player as at the moment he doesnt bring the same the team as the other senior players. However people seem to only want to notice anything poor with his performance's since hes returned from injury when in reality we should really be hoping he finds some strong form for us as were still gonna have him next year.
Just really annoying how people are quick to dismantle certain players and others are immune to criticism |

Not sure why it names our 3 players as 5th in the list for their respective positions. Thats pretty much mid table isnt it?
Would be interested to see the full list for each position though, i'd be interested to see which players we have at the bottom of lists.  |

I don't understand how it's not Josh Hodgson, what with him having left Houghton trailing hopelessly in his wake. Gekko needs to have a word with himself  |
