To Fergie and the board, two good players that we know, and they know us, and a chance to get Houghton on a permanent in the closed season. And two players who are young and have and are visibly improving. I for one am a very happy bunny.
Houghton on a perm would be the icing on the cake.
Prior to Whiteman, when was the last time £100k+ was spent by DRFC on a signing?

You nearly did it Anne, you nearly praised the club, but could not quite let yourself go. Getting a couple of players fixed up with other clubs could be more on the cards than other new players in could be more of a target this month Anne. I look forward to your comments at the end of the window, I think I can guess which way they will go.

Albeit a transfer of assets between two entities under Richardson’s control.
Didn't we end up paying more than £100k for Kyle Bennett after a tribunal?

We must have paid all of that.

Albeit a transfer of assets between two entities under Richardson’s control. Although Peter Catt was once reported as saying 100K for Jones I think 10K was the more accepted figure (to Bridlington I think - can't imagine we paid them 100K). I am fairly sure Jackson was our first 100K+ player.
