Going by the Dan Tomlinson article If indeed he hasn't yet signed a contract I would use his quota spot to sign a specialist hooker to compliment Dwyer. Assuming Houghton is not here next season.
He doesn't need to sign a new contract to be here next season.
After the mauling last week and general disillusionment I wouldn't be surprised if it's our lowest gate in years.
Plus it's on sky.
I'm very much on the fence as to whether to go or not at present though it'll probably be the first game I have ever missed at home intentionally as doubt I'll go and just watch it on Sky on home then I only have to turn it off when things inevitably go south.
