...who's rightly earned his place in the side by outperforming Houghton and pretty much everybody else in our squad this season.

Wow, are things really that bad at Hull?

TBF from what I've seen, Tommy Lee has a far more complete skill set than Houghton.

Houghton's reputation has been built on scooting from dummy-half - he's a long, long way off being a top class hooker.

For me Tommy Lee is quality and if he were at a decent club he would be a top player. I see him as a loose forward, decent with ball in hand and tackles way above his weight. Also, he's the only one that seems upset when Hull conced a try, really gives it to the rest of the squad. Would be a big loss to Hull but if I was him I'd jump ship, the way we're going it's the only way he'll fulfill his potential.

Lee has been very very good this season, he's actually been far more consistent than Berrigan and fully deserves to be in the squad in place of Houghton, guess its what happens when we have 3 or 4 very good hookers.

You need to have one less good hooker and one more good 7

dependent on the quota situation i would go for Heath L'estrange from manly

Looking at the rules put in place on renewal every overseas player apart from Dobson will be classed as fed trained.

I have to admit i don't the rules in their entirety but if true that just makes a mockery of the British game. At least the salary cap will keep clubs excesses in check.
