I would like to bet that Shaun Lunt will be at Leeds. No chance its Danny Houghton

Leeds have had a £125,000 bid for a hooker turned down doubt it would have Lunt as I think he's a free agent at the end of season

Me too.It will be a massive loss to lose Ellis on the field but expect the club will offer him a position at the club if it is announced.

I wonder how much would tempt hull to sell Houghton?

Sa is a terrible signing for Widnes.

Me too to be honest. Whilst his distribution could be better he a very good all round hooker. His kicking game from dummy half in particular will be missed.

Agreed. I can't see FC selling to be honest regardless of price. Who'd replace him? We've already offloaded Howarth and Cunningham this year. Do we have any other hookers?

Leeds made a bid for clarke. Hes struggling to settle at wire apparently.
danny gets a testimonial soon with us. That will always be a major factor

If Leeds have had a bid for Houghton (or Clark) turned down, they may well turn their attention to Lunt.

Ridiculous to offload Cunningham. I think with game time at 9 he would have put real pressure on Houghton.
Danny Houghton gives everything he has for the club but has not improved the weak parts of his game.
He takes the wrong option at play the ball too many times especially in the opposition 20 and we all know his passing at times is wayward which loses attacking momentum.

If we get manu and Ellis gets fit what an awesome pack we will have .hopefully bit early to start writing Ellis off surely won't know just yet until he starts rehab ?
