Houghton produced many good performances at hooker with some very good ones, hopefully Berrigan will do next year, that would do me.
Not really, Turner got concussed, Berro filled in.
The rest i'll just file in my "better things to do than respond to that drivel" folder.

2 games. Leeds and Hull KR at home and if I remember correctly both games his winger saw plenty of good ball and he did indeed assist Briscoe for a try against Leeds.
Shaun Berrigan is a quality centre.
If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...

Ah, I forgot about the leeds game. I'm probably thinking that he was moved out of position due to Radford's sending off.

Just get Berrigan 4 or Fitzgibbon 8 and say you're making a statement if those numbers aren't the actual ones.

This game when Berrigan was at centre and Turner on the bench?
Drivel, so you honestley think Berrigan has been a good signing for Hull, he must be the highest paid player at Hull and we aren't getting our moneys worth from him, I would love him to do well at hooker or centre for Hull, but up to now he hasn't be good enough.
With your opinions about him (on your own) you must be a personal friend or family member.

Without having the stats at hand id guess Berrigan would have played more SOO and international games in the centres then at dummy half, I remember him scoring a great long range try in a test at maybe Wigan or Hudds, his strike rate at centre was very good, im sure he scored 20 trys in one season aswell, in my opinion Berro hasnt had the impact for us at dummy half like he did in his last season in the NRL, we could really do with someone with his quality out wide in my opinion.

Houghton form improved when he got more minutes and teh starting hooking position, to me it looks like Berrigan was holding him back.
On paper Berrigan maybe a better hooker but he hasn't shown in the last 2 years.
Berrigan also didn't get moved to centre to cover whiting, Whiitng got injured before we started to play Berrigan at centre, he was moved there to replace Turner.
Likewise with Richard Horne, we can get a far better player than him for his money!!

Spot on re the tries. IIR he played a lot of his tests off the bench but did play a lot in the centres too. I may be wrong but not sure he ever started at 9 for Oz.

It's worth saying that the Berrigan you speak is not the one playing at Hull now, his pace has dropped dramatically since he came over here and certainly since he played centre for Brisbane/Aus.
