Great news Jamie given the green light to start full training, he says he will play anywhere, even hooker if necessary. Good lad superb attitude.

Great news. That was a horrible injury and it will have been a long, tough recovery.



Looking forward to seeing Jamie back. He’s still got a part to play in our season and in the future. Love his attitude that he’ll play anywhere. I’m sure and trust that Brett has got a plan and a position for him.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how he goes under BH.

Think he can add something extra to the side.

I have said many times on here that Shaul should be used now as a nine.No such thing now as a hooker since the rule changes and Shaul would be ideal in this position given his pace off the mark.

Would like to see him used off the bench primarily for Houghton.

You dont have to be a great ball distributor in this position.Its now more of a running game from acting half.

Houghton is hardly the best passer of a ball and needs to be interchanged otherwise we burn him out again.

Johnstone is not the answer at 9.He has no running game.

Shaul in my opinion will be our future nine

He is staying at Catalan unfortunately

I really hope he can be improved in areas where we know he falls a bit short, I'd still be happy to see him at FB post working with a coach able to actually coach the required skills in that area, we shouldn't dismiss the possibility of a return there and move Connor back to centre. It would make our defence tighter and offer other attacking potential that Connor simply doesn't offer.



If that's a non starter then impact dummy half/cover the backline would be a decent use of his talents, I still don't like the fact Houghton gets flogged and how that impacts on him personally and the team as a whole.

Houghton has never been an attacking hooker no matter how many games he plays



That's why he's never ever got close to international cause you need a threat in attack Houghton offers no threat



He's lived on tackle 52

I've often had differing views to you but this is absolutely the right thing for Jamie. I recall watching him at the play the ball at Wakey, when he picked up the ball and went probably 60 metres before grounding in their end. His speed and agility would make him the perfect number 9. He doesn't need to be doing the number of tackles that Mint does and would offer a real offensive threat. Jake's doing too well for him to be moved elsewhere.

... until teams start targeting him, then we'll see how good he is.

I agree. There’s no and hard set rules were each position has to stand in the line during defence or attack.



There’s no set rules that the hooker needs to be at every ptb and make 50 tackles a match. Obviously tackling is important, but as several people have said on here, Danny’s and JJ passing from PTB is inconsistent, so there would be no impact there if Shaul evolved into the Hooker role in the future, even spelling with Danny initially. Jamie’s pace down the middle and scoots would bring an extra dimension to our game and at times could be used joining the line on the attack.



As I said, there’s no set rules saying where every player must stand at every stage of the game. Look at other sports, Pep has just won the title at Man City without a striker in most games. Even 10 years ago, people would have seen that as a mad idea.



If it comes off, I’d rather see Jamie doing it for Hull than at some other club.

Tackling in todays game is normally done by three players.

You dont see Daryl Clark making 50 odd tackles per game.His game is based on running .

The role is changing.Look at HKR two very effective nines who are not known for their defence.

In any case Shaul can tackle but his speed off the mark and elusive running make him ideal in this position
