Solid pro though, gets a good character reference about being very professional, which is the type we definitely need, need a new leadership group.....

Be happy with Peats, smart hooker who has a good pass selection, still a decent age.

At least we are looking at the right areas.

IF We've signed an overseas prop as well,
does that mean, a current quota player is gone?

Huddersfield already have 3 halfback better than our main two halfbacks.


to be honest the club has made a huge recruitment error in thinking the squad was good enough with the addition of a front row.
In my opinion the tail off in form and performance will have come as a surprise to both coach and owner and now we are playing recruitment catch up.
With a dearth of quality players available i can see the club making the same mistakes when Radford was here and we began signing second grade players to bolster the squad.

I'm. Guessing with very limited options in the market, a solid good professional with leadership skills Is more preferential than what we have.

I do agree with you though, in an ideal situation we s release 3, and sign 2

We need a hooker who can pass and make the right decisions, Peats wouldn't have played nearly 200 league games and SOO if he couldn't do that.

Houghton will do well off the bench, against tired defences

whatever you do - you are leaving it very late! most signatures are already on paper and have been for months, although not all announced.

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

To be honest I'm undecided on Peats and it just seems more a move for him out of desperation than as a key acquisition to the squad. I guess at least the club have realised that hooker has been and is a problem area and we lack guile in that position so are trying to rectify that.

I know what you are saying about Peats but if we have only one overseas spot then we need to use it in the front row.
We agree Houghton would be better off the bench thats why i keep pushing the Houghton/Shaul combo.
From the little we have seen Shaul at nine he did enought to show he can play that position and when he is fit we would see a lot more running from him at dummy half.
Houghton starting Shaul off the bench for me but if the club are seriously looking at Peats then its possible Houghton could be on the move.
