Yeah cause Houghton is like lightning isn't he





Houghton will be a legend for tackle 52

But I also think we could of had so much better

Hodgson clark and roby far better than him for starters put them in 2016/17 side we win everything

Attack starts at dummy half people forget that

It's a disgrace

That's leigh tackle was in the top 3 worst ive seen

Hope Pearson takes it further about time the RFL Was pulled up on this nonsense

The same Clark that has won 1 Challenge Cup to Houghtons 2

The same clark that has played for GB/England linked with NRL

Houghton done neither nor got close

Makes me laugh how people wonder why we don't improve

But we're not gunna improve with likes of Houghton, fash, cator, Lane in our 17 every season

People bang on about fash but if we had a chance we'd swap him for walmsley, Lees, Knowles, Vaughan etc every day of the week

I’d agree as I’d even say O’Donnels makes the Will Pryce tackle last season tame in comparison.

Surely the RFL when advocating player safety have to admit that either Griffins ban is harsh or O’Donnels is very lenient.

7 and a half. He's already had a half for it.

I think that one incident has decided the outcome of our season for us.

It took us out of the cup. And with us already light in the back row, now we've lost our best back rower for seven games. It's pretty much took away any hope we had of doing anything in the league.

The club needs to bring in a top back rower this week to replace him because what we have left in the back row is no way good enough. And if the club are not gonna bother and are instead going on holiday until next season, then so am I.

That’s the spirit. IAKOW.

'Top' players in any position are very rarely available at this stage of the season. Most certainly not on a couple of days notice.
I'm hoping we use this as an opportunity to get Staveley some game time.

I’ve had no respect for the ex players trying to sue the sport. I’ve felt like they’re just trying to gouge the sport for a final pay day.

How can you complain the sport didn’t protect them from something we didn’t have knowledge of back then. However, now I have a bit of a sympathy for them. Two spear tackles (one been worst I’ve seen) = name calling.

I’ve been calling for Stavely to get some game time so hopefully he does. I think he’ll move Ligi there sadly.

Can't see Sao moving there with Taylor out, if anyone moves there it will likely be Lovodua. Hopefully Staveley will get some more games.

Oh no! I'm gonna have to keep attending. You posted some song lyrics at me to shame me.

Hopefully we will see TS bring in Staveley and give him an opportunity in the SR while Griffin is out.

What sort of message does that send out about the fans of the club? Mouth off twice at the officials in the season and the fans will pay, not as if Griff is hard up either is it

Interesting there seems to be no rush to release the report from yesterdays hearing. Think fans have a right to know at least the broad chain of events of what was said. The longer the delay the more it feels they are just protecting Kendall.

Do they release them normally. Can’t remember RFL doing it previously.

He should also be fined the maximum of two weeks wages that the club are able to do.

I was in favour of giving him another year but not so much so now.

They released the full details of the Josh McGuire hearing.

A slight aside but the level of editing in the HDM really is diabolical https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ll-8540335 Wellens is "weary" apparently, should get some more sleep then. EDIT: someone has been reading this and corrected it

He has certainly let us down again in a cuptie and the club need to take some sort of action against him financialy which i believe can be a maximum of two weeks wages.
He was rubbish as a centre last season and his defence was P Poor but to his credit he is much fitter now and our outstanding forward in the last three games and much more involved in defence than he has ever been.
I could understand the club not extending his contract but given our financial situation and the real lack of forwards available in the UK I would give him a years extension with another year in the clubs favour.
That would mean we can use the overseas spots for two big mobile front rows and a nine if Balmforth is on his out

Not sure about that. What is the precedent? Did the club fine Gale after his long ban last year? What about players who get a one or two match ban - should they be fined by the club?

It's an arguable point that he cost us the game, it's impossible to say how the second half would have gone had the sending off not have happened.

Are you purposely forgetting that this is actually his living? Why not evict him from his house too? Anyone who wants to mess with a family’s finances out of some petty revenge needs to take a good long look at themselves.

Well we've managed to whittle it down to six games , Still a big loss but gives an opportunity to someone else .
