I shouldn't really include Wigan or Saints, because neither operate with a backup hooker and don't really spell their hookers. Clearly Cunningham and Wane are just as woeful coaches as Radford.
Leeds - Rob Burrow Saints - No-one/Matty Fozard Wigan - Sam Powell Huddersfield - Kruise Leeming Wire - Brad Dwyer Castleford - Paul McShane, but probably Milner soon.
I think Houghton's fatigue in games is massively over exaggerated, and I wouldn't want a large chunk of cap taken up with a reserve hooker that might play 20 minutes a game. I'd have liked to have kept Cunningham, but in his absence I'd be quite happy with a hooker from the youth team, or one of our junior halves to cover the position.
Great post.

Reading his diary Wilf seems pretty confident the back rower signing is Manu. Radford mentioned that although primarily a second rower he can play in the Middle. I have not seem him play. What do the NRL watchers think of him?

Loose Man Westerman Abdull
Now to me, the signing of Manu might mean the end to Westerman at Hull. I think we may end up with Manu/Pritchard as the 13.
If Ellis moves to prop which is likely we need another 2nd row. Whiting, Hadley aren't good enough and bring no impact at all. Turgut is some way away from been a SL 2nd row.
Ellis Houghton Watts Pritchard Mini Westerman
Washbrook Manu Thompson Taylor
That looks a great pack with impact coming off the bench baring Washbrook.
