I'm not sure I believe it, I've seen the same thing written on Facebook, but it's always from people who won't see any critism of Houghton, mainly as they are his mates or mates with his Dad.

Big blow for them. Norman and Peats may get more hype but he has been their best signing, he's their top tackler and forward who makes the most metres in most games

To be honest I think grade D is once again harsh in terms of grading when compared to other very similar incidents all season in the main getting grade B, in view of this and him having been banned previously I can't see Ligi getting anything less than 4 games and most likely the full 5.

But he offers much more attack even when he plays scrum half or loose forward

When Houghton go's to loose forward or scrum half he just gets the ball and passes it as quick as he can like a hot potato

Houghton waited 15 years to do a attacking run that led to something good

Exactly this

Same with Taylor

Cause people know them they won't criticise them

And Shaul?

played well yesterday according to Wakefield fans

Be his first good game in years, maybe needed a change.

I wonder if we consider Smith in the centres.

You clearly wasn't there. My hubby commentated on the game for BBC Leeds and said he okay, but nothing special, throwing the ball into touch so still has the Hull way in him! Bowden was poor, so no, I don't think we've made the wrong choice letting either go.

You see we read that report and I just don’t get it



Hodgson talks a good game and says all the right things but then does the opposite.
The way he describes Lovodua there is exactly what we need from hooker but he never plays him there.
Why not?

I really like Hodgson and would love him to be successful but, as I said, I just don’t understand the decisions he makes .

Early in the season I could understand not playing Lovodua hooker as Gale and Reynolds kept getting banned or injured. But now there is no reason to not try him at hooker.

Soz forgot your hubby was Einstein



Yeah cause the players we have are covering themselves in glory



Shaul and bowden hardly got a chance last 2 years literally fed on scraps

Walker is awful and won't be a super league player in 3 years time please quote this dave Chris etc

There are two reasons those two hardly played, they were injured or when they played they were rubbish.

Not sure Walker is the answer, but Shaul and Bowden certainly weren't. No coincidence they have both ended up at the bottom club.

I don't claim he is Einstein, however he was there which you clearly wasn't so I'm unsure how you can comment on the game over someone who was. As someone who has seen Shaul play at his best, he says that whilst he's probably no worse than what they have, he's certainly no better which sums him up for me.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

WOW

Holy moly, pre 2018 both Shaul and Bowden were playing well but unfortunately they haven't played well enough since and both suffered bad injuries.
Walker is no world beater but he has shown more in the 3 games he's played than Bowden and Shaul have in 4 and a bit years. As for being fed on scraps they have both been given opportunities but just haven't been able to take them. Time has sadly caught up with them along with some others still at the club but maybe a change of club can help then in the twilight of their careers, who knows?
If Shaul or Bowden were still top players then why is Wakefield the club that they'd go too, even you have to admit that there's a reason for that?

Anyway, back to the Toulouse game rather than Jamie Shaul

Guess the team time?

Unless there is a huge change in preparation for the game, attitude and mindset within the 17 that take to the field in Toulouse I can't see us getting a much needed result.

Couple of hopefuls in this team but it is just guessing.
Walker
Swift
Simms
Mitch
Mac
Connor
Gale
Evans
Lovoudo
Fash
Mau
Long staff
Smith
Subs
Brown
Satae
Houghton
Laidlaw

Wonder if Smith go centre

We must've invested in some holy water because I am seeing rumours of Savelio back in the squad

Well Connor made a miraculous recovery so you never know
