Put Balmforth, Severs or Hookem on the bench, all offer more than him.

Both Balmforth and Hookem scored for the reserves last night. Hookem with a dart from dummy half, ironically.

Think we need to start playing Lovodua at hooker, with one eye on next season. We need to find out if he’s the answer or not.

Same with Balmforth and/or Hookem.

No point in playing people who definitely won’t be here next year.

This is our issue and this isn't a dig at Hougjton, as that isn't part of his game, more at the coaching staff.

Every other SL team has a hooker who can do that, which means it gets the opposition guessing, Houghton doesn't he will just pass near the line so the defence doesn't need to worry about Houghton going for a try.

Waste of a quota spot if we persist on playing Lovodua anywhere else than 9 .

Absolutely agree. Quota signings should play in specialist positions. Squad players fill in the gaps when need be.

I think we will sign 3, out of players we have on loan or short term contracts.
