But what does Houghton actually offer?
Have we no hookers in the academy?
Haha you want to replace Houghton with someone out the academy!! How about 100% effort very few mistakes, always accurate with his passing, and the best engine at the club. The least of of our worries in my opinion

Agreed, but why a hooker? no scrums a hooker isn't a hooker anymore hasn't been for years, someone quick is a much better option these days look at dwyer for example

Why are we still not having scrums? Ridiculous!! Not that it makes much difference to the hooking role, granted speed from dummy half can be effective, but having a hooker purely with pace, ain’t going to give you a 80 min performance. Shaul for instance, could be dangerous scooting from dummy half, but he’s no hooker. Dwyer I’ve seen as many poor performances as decent ones. Houghtons getting on a bit now, but still one of our top performers week in, week out, I’d like to see more dummy half runs like everyone else, not sure why he doesn’t to be honest, because he still as a decent burst of speed. But people slating him, with stupid comments, like he’s living on the back of one cc tackle, is just disrespectful, not true, and clueless. He’s being a loyal servant, an outstanding pro, and seriously doesn’t deserve the complete bull that’s thrown at him on here from some of the clueless Cut out the name calling please.

And that's the mentality that holds this club back, sentiment. The guy stated he d lost his motivation for playing the sport not long ago. Its shown in some of his performances, the sky commentry team pointed out in the pre match build up his lapses in getting onside, then we saw it in the actual game.
Hodgson speaks of our slowness around the ruck, you see Pearson going mad at a Houghton offside when we're in a key moment in the match. Your seeing young lads like cam Scott coming over to play the ball because Houghtons not where he should be.
He's unravelling, yes he's been great in the past but you can't, wear blinkers and shout what a legend he is based on current showings, a portion of our fans make the Hull lads in the team untouchable its abit cringey.
And your coming over as a Cut out the name calling please yourself pal

The truth hurts as they say...........
What a load of bull, Pearson going mad about Houghton? Your making it up, I’m not sure what he was going mad about, but I’d hazard a guess, it was at the ref giving the offside, their was 3 players more offside than Houghton was the incident your talking about, your slagging a player off for been enthusiastic in defence. Slowness around the ruck doesn’t mean he’s referring to Houghton, again if I was to guess, he probably means the actual getting up and playing the ball. My defence of Houghton isn’t sentiment at all, it’s my opinion, that Houghton still does a decent job for us.Insult removed, enough!

Talk about deluded hahahaha, it was clearly Houghton who didn't get back onside as he curved his run, did you actually watch the game, and you can see Pearson went mad because of the dumbness of giving an offside away in a key moment of the game, it was criminal, you've got to be Houghtons dad!!!!!!
Carry on with the.name calling tough guy, easy behind a keyboard eh

Pretty depressing night really, especially with AP's gloomy prognosis too. Sense a real reset coming up, not in a good way. Interesting to see the outcomes of the club conversations on league structures tomorrow and how it affects us.
