Carlos is supposed to be due back by now. As is Mitch.

May as well give Carlos his usual 30 minutes before he gets another 2-3 month rest period.

Reading grixs latest comments regarding houghton, have recent coachs beeen abit too obssessed with defence, the attacks totally stifled by his lack of intensity at the play the ball, yet its totally ignored in preference to houghtons line speed in defence

Yes worrying comment Smith was great for 20, but then he says but Danny was for 60, Smith should be playing more at 9 simple






Always the Optimist never the Pessimist. Glass Half full not half empty man me.

The narrative from the club is definitely that DH is still first choice hooker. Grix, Cummins and even Pearson are saying that.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/hull-fc-chairman-adam-pearson-9307650

I don't know if they genuinely believe that or are perhaps trying to be respectful to the man. Right now I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there's something in his contract saying that if he's fit, he plays. But from the stands it certainly looks like his time as the first choice 80 (60) minute hooker is done. Doesn't mean his overall time is done with us, just that we need to be managing him better that we do to get him at his most effective.

Defence wins games. DH has his weaknesses but kicking, game management and his tackling cannot be overestimated. I would doubt, as someone suggeste, that there is a clause in his contract that he always gets picked. That would be so unprofessional. He is picked by all the coaches because they are wiser than us knowitalls

Just to be clear, I wasn't actually suggesting that there is such a clause in his contract. It was more that, given the state we are in, I wouldn't put it past the club at the moment if news like that came out.

He won't have a clause, the rest is nonsense though, he isn't good enough anymore, even his defence isn't what it was.

Defence is important, but if you are slow to pass, not accurate, take the wrong option and don't run from dummy half anymore I'd argue that this isn't good enough.

What ever happens he definitely needs spelling more. Even play him for first 25 min first half then 15/20 spell 2nd half.
