As someone else has alluded to elsewhere on here, the next home game needs to be Houghton's last until maybe the last game or two of the season where he can be given the send off he undoubtedly deserves. As much as I admire his passion for the club and will be forever thankful for tackle 52 he has also been part of the problem. We desperately need a change at hooker.

Yep, I'd go with Smith there with Balmforth or Hodgson on the bench.
Yesterday smacked of a team that treat the weekend away as a jolly and thought that just by turning up we’d get the win, which is a shocking mentality for a side that has scraped one win this season.
Grix had a howler too, after a good game at prop last week that should’ve of been where Sao stayed, and his use of the bench was poor. It was boiling in that ground yesterday. So why only two subs came on (Smith and Jebson) only came on with 15-20 minutes is beyond me.
Sad to see Charles at the end of the game, 99% of the crowd was giving him support and trying to pick him up, it’s telling that there wasn’t a single senior player beside him to put his arm round. That been said, he will benefit from a few weeks out the firing line, his time will come, but for now he needs to sit back and learn from the past couple months

In my opinion it’s not sad to see Charles getting a mouthful He wants to be a big man playing a big man’s game then This comes with the territory Having to listen to this may even make him more Determined to get better. But also he may now start To realise he needs to demand more from his lazy Teammates in training and he may grow a bigger voice On the pitch because of this !!

I'm not sure we'll win again this season, despite having 60 put on them v saints, Cas will be fired up for the game against us in two weeks time. We play London again at magic, but with pretty much all of elland road likely to be cheering for the Broncos, I can't imagine our lot having the resilience to put up a performance to beat them there. Still got 2 games v Wigan and 2 more games v Catalan to look forward to as well...
Two bottom teams playing poles apart . London good at moving the ball out wide , We couldn't string two passes together . Defensive line speed of London was far quicker especially against our big men , Ours was static incoherent mess . London's support play was way better but ours again was non existent , Even with half breaks not one player backing up and it showed how bad we are with the bash and barge tries, no creativity at all .
