I honestly think Hodgson is a soft touch, no wonder the players are taking the mickey, someone provide me with some logical reason why Houghton hasn't been dropped and Lovodua and Balmforth installed...........

Some players arnt keen on him either .

He isn't going anyway. Don't know where this players don't like him. He's getting rid of them so that's sorted. We needed a clear out and he's doing it. Looking to bring young players in. Academy top notch.

Anywhere drifting of topic. We have a thread on Hodgson.

Its difficult to criticise Houghton too much even given his short comings when he is being flogged week after week playing 80 minutes.
At least with Houghton he usually gives 100% on the field.
That said if Houghton is not rotated on Sunday then this coach has lost the plot.
Have to say not to include Balmforth is puzzling given our ruck speed and distribution is so slow

I think if he plays Houghton for 80 minutes regardless of the result questions will need to be asked of Hodgson coaching abilities. Surely when we are up against 2 very good and pacy hookers we are having joey interchanging with Houghton at 9

On the other hand he might

The weather’s going to be hot too when we play. Rotation will be essential.
