Potentially misses Toulouse, Huddersfield, Saints, Wakefield and Salford.

Given he's already had a ban this season then it'll be a minimum of 4 if I understand how it works.

If that is true then sorry but he gets no other deal with the club, we want players that want to play for the club no matter where they are asked to play.

If it is true that Lovodua doesnt want to play 9 then it shows what a soft touch Hodgson actually is.
Can you imagine saying that to a disciplinarian like Shaun Wane

https://www.hullfc.com/blog/2021/10/01/ ... r-lovodua/ Worth reading this, he even states he likes to play hooker, so maybe he doesn't want to play as the 2nd hooker and get very little gametime, as he knows he won't sub Houghton and he will be sat on the bench for 50 minutes like Cas away.

I can’t believe any player dictates where they play. They might have a preference.

Any player that refuses to play in a certain position needs to go.

We need to start playing Lovodua at hooker to see if he’s the answer there or not

I'm not sure I believe it, I've seen the same thing written on Facebook, but it's always from people who won't see any critism of Houghton, mainly as they are his mates or mates with his Dad.

Alvaro banned for Toulouse

Big blow for them. Norman and Peats may get more hype but he has been their best signing, he's their top tackler and forward who makes the most metres in most games

To be honest I think grade D is once again harsh in terms of grading when compared to other very similar incidents all season in the main getting grade B, in view of this and him having been banned previously I can't see Ligi getting anything less than 4 games and most likely the full 5.

Impossible to say, as no one including you has seen him play a number of games there.

But he offers much more attack even when he plays scrum half or loose forward

When Houghton go's to loose forward or scrum half he just gets the ball and passes it as quick as he can like a hot potato

Houghton waited 15 years to do a attacking run that led to something good
