DavidM Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 It’s a great stat but I’m a bit conflicted when I hear commentators telling us about huge tackle counts from players . Obviously it’s a big effort defensively but the game has two sides . The other half is with the ball - the threat you are , the scoots you make as a hooker and the questions you ask defences , the dimensions in your game .I know it’s another position but I remember hindmarsh got into a mode of just making tons of tackles and barely had any effect with the ball , and it was mentioned a fair bit that he could do with finding a happy medium . Nathan Peats was the same . That’s more a general point I’m not having a go at houghton who must fit into what Hull want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly a great achievement and Houghton is without a doubt one of the hardest working defenders in SL. The bit I find uncomfortable is if/when a video does emerge of this feat, how many times will he be the main/first man in tackler? Many scoff (rightly at times) at union stats where they wax lyrical about <insert player> making a whopping 19 tackles in a game, but forget these are actual first man in tackles where the player goes to ground or held up. In league it seems we count a player as being a tackler if they are in any contact with the ball carrier when held is called. Like I say, still an amazing effort and happy to concede that wasn't the case here if I see a video of Houghton smashing everyone in all these tackles!

Clark does a lot of tackling but I would hate for him to make 50+ in a game. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

The most overrated hooker in super league history and nowhere near international quality I think this is harsh. I don't think he is overrated and I don't really hear anyone comparing him to the likes of Roby, Clarke or Hodgson. I'd have him below McIlorum too. I don't really see people championing him for England and most seem to appreciate him for being a hardworking, hooker who does a good job. I don't see how this makes him overrated.

Scubby Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 How many tackles are made just by one player these days? If that was the case every player would be offloading for fun. Great achievement by Houghton - he has an amazing engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MZH Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'd guess Houghton was first man into alot of those tackles. Not sure what The Storm has got against him. No one claims him to be a world beater. But he's got an incredible engine and he does the little things right. The quality of the passes from dummy half is an under-appreciated part of RL, he is one of the best for putting the ball exactly where it needs to be.

Mr Frisky Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Some harsh comments about a very good pro and a very good player - anyone who says different doesn't know RL or is just making lazy comments and have probably never seen him play.

Had not noticed Houghton being particularly good at this, but will keep an eye out. It makes a huge difference to a team's attack, and across Super League, it is one skill that is persistently very poor. I cannot believe teams don't get better at it, as 1st receivers are regularly checking to take a ball on their hip or above the head. I think teams could improve dramatically if their dummy half passing was sharpened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
