Having watching the highlights on SLTV, longer then the Super League Show's efforts, I have to say our build up for each try was really good! We are starting to have much better support play and off the ball runners, something we have lacked desperately.
Houghton's scoots and passes from dummy half are progressing, too. His pass to Manu to set up Briscoe's try was brilliant, missed out both Ogre and Moa and into the wide space. Also picked out Radders for his try! Good stuff!
Good post, I think peoplr have been a bit harsh and over critical of Houghton this year (mainly after he had a good game against Saints), he played a big part in the 2nd try and made the 3rd and 4th tries with some great passes, he isn't perfect but is delevoping into an excellent hooker.
Should be in one of the England squads, I wouldn't swap Houghton for any other English hooker apart from roby.
