I'm a House fan, I think there's a place for him. He runs better than say, Hilder... and gets about as much work done. His ball and all tackle is mostly extremely effective. It's kinda annoying having him on the fringes in attack though, for sure. He just doesn't threaten. Rochow is certainly making his presence felt, though.

He's a part of our leadership group... so I think he'd have to be f**king up pretty deluxe to even be considered to be dropped even to the bench.

Many are aware I have a massive man-crush on House, but I would like to think I can be somewhat unbiased on the subject....

You are right. He offers alot more than just pedestrian attack. I dont think we will see House on the bench in the near future.

He either needs to move to lock or into the prop rotation. He is just too ineffective outwide

Lock is well suited to him, but the issue there is a guy named Jeremy.

I personally would love to see him back in the middle, even as a prop. His leg drive when running in the middle and being tackled high gains extra metres.

His problem is the tackle around the waist, he has no ability to beat that tackle, and no real ability to offload.

I have been vocal about being frustrated with his attack, but i certainly think he is a great defender as has been mentioned. I too think he would be a great lock, and i wish we used him in the 13 last year. Now we have Smith there so it isn't really an option.

Perhaps a swap with Willie moving him into the prop rotation would work. We might get more minutes out of Willie that way too.
