For me he seems to play as the 'Mighty atom' back over the years - Mike Dixon. He even wears the black head band...

Machine!!

was very impressed with him tonight. Agars subs seemed to work perfectly aswell whether that be by tactical nous or pure luck.

Pure luck from Agar.. never!!

Excellent game; but lets not burden him with mentions of greatness and being best in the comp etc.

For me still short of Roby, Cunningham, Buderus, Monaghan etc. but with massive potential and local.

very true.

MOM by some distance tonight. A very accomplished performance.

Deserves a shot at England honours IMO, quite deservedly keeping Berrigan on the bench at the moment

outstanding

His runs from dummy half got us on the move so many times. It was like having Richard Swain back in the team tonight. didn't shirk the biff either.

He really was superb tonight, he totally bossed the game.

Woah, let him just play well for Hull. Still a young kid and I would rather he just kept developing before he gets too much pressure put on him.

Hell yeah

Just watched the game again, got to say, Danny was superb again! Another eighty minute performance, with 46 tackles!!

Take a bow son, you are a class act! Would be a travesty if he doesn't make the plane to Aus at the end of the season!

From a purely selfish point of view I hope no Hull players are on the plane to aus as they could get injured, seem to recall prekkie and matt crowther getting injured in similar senarios cant remember if it was yorks vs lancs or international but neither of them player for us much more after their injuries.

Rep jerseys should be the highlight of a players career.

I agree mate, just the recognition he deserves at the minute. IMO he is player of the year so far.

Sure his performance was noticed by the England coach who was in the stand.

I think maybe Berrigan might be a tad worried, he tried when he came on, made a couple of big errors dropping the ball but you could see he wanted to make an impact.

Who would have thought a year ago, Berrigan having to up his game to play.

Well done Danny

Why would Berro be worried? According to the club he's had a big hand in Houghtons progress.

I'd imagine he's quite proud.

Danny has practically carried us over the past few games. His enthuasism really gets the team going and Berrigan would be right to be worried if he don't find himself in the team every week.

Berrigans coming towards the end of a fine career, after his contract was over hull would have hoped to have a home grown at the ability to replace him.
It's happened a year early!!
We now have a ex Australian international keeping houghton on his toes for the 9 shirt, able to call on him from the bench if houghton tires or is having a poor game and he can cover centre and loose in case of a injury in the game.

Worried? Maybe not.

Houghton was excellent, he has really pushed on this season.

Fantastic, nevr doubted how good this kid can be, now he has had the chance to start and really kick on his career.

Should at least be in the initial England squad at the end of the year.

Hodgson isnt even close to Houghton. I like GG but he talks some rubbsih at times.

Wasn't convinced by Houghton last season or at the start of the season but I'm delighted to be getting proved wrong. The last 3 months he has been outstanding and easily our best player.
