No pressure on the lad. Or on you with that prediction for that matter.

I think most will appreciate your efforts to try and keep this forum for how it was intended.

Yeah but don't forget Houghton hasn't played for England so he can't be any good :CRAZY: that's another mentioned 10 times a week.

If that was the plan with Houghton and Balmforth then in myopinion we'd need to be playing Balmforth now. Would be a little bit if a risk going into next season with him before we even know if he's good enough to cut it week in week out in Super League.


dont know how many mintues he is doing off the bench but its said fitness is one of his issues.
Also cant see how been in a team getting well beaten most weeks will help him.
If we get beaten at Wigan then i would recall him and play the rest of the season at Hull as starting nine with Houghton on the bench

Contract lengths aren’t always important if the player doesn’t want to be there.
Tony Smith mentioned today about things having to fall into place before some decisions are taken. Looks like the situation is fluid.
Wonder if we’ll look at Sao for the second row?



too slow
He was ok playing for Samoa but hat was mainly due to the class around him

You can tell it’s the summer holidays, 2 weeks in and your bored. It’s lovely weather out there, go call on some mates and play out, instead of sitting on your Nintendo. You’ve done to death, the Danny Houghton thing, repeating the same thing over and over. He’s been outstanding this season, being spelled instead of flogged to death by the last 2 coaches.

Even when spelled he does the same tackle tackle ....no attack

Utter nonsense the been "flogged bit" just an excuse for his lack of attack

Who has said Fash will carry the pack like Walmsley? Think most have said Fash isn’t big enough as a main forward and probably wouldn’t have been used like that had Evans performed & Taylor not had injuries prior to this season. Though there’s little denying Fash has stepped up and stood in at the front row and done a good job, especially given we are also lightweight at 2nd row.
Think a front row with say Taylor, Sao, Pele & McLean backed up with Fash, Brown, Gardiner would be pretty decent and an improvement.
Hopefully we’ll see some size and quality added in terms of 2nd row recruitment. You say about taking Taylor & Satae out but take Walmsley and Pasi out of St’s front row and they don’t have the same size and go forward and no team is any different.

You’re not saying anything nobody knows in that the front row options have been and are very weak this season. Both Cator and Fash are worth deals as whilst they aren’t world beaters, they are in the main reliable and offer value to the squad. Many in the game rate Smithies and he’s no different to Fash in that regard.
