Just hope Cator isn't be thought of as the bench hooker, got to be Balmforth (get the feeling Smith isn't his biggest fan though)
I feel the same way about Smith and Balmforth. He can never seem to just give him praise without then continuing to say he has a lot of negatives to his game aswell, although I do appreciate Smith wants him to improve and it could just be his way of keeping him grounded.
I can't say the thought of Cator being mooted as a regular replacement at 9 on the bench fills me with much optimism. That said with both Houghton & Balmforth not being risked at Doncaster due to minor injuries it's an opportunity to test the option out of Cator at 9. Still think it will likely be a combination of Houghton/Balmforth/Smith during the season and possibly Cator only being used as cover if we have to move Smith in to the halves should the need arise due to injuries.
