I completely admit that I for one thought the lad was finished as far as top form went, but to be fair he did look finished.

He's still not back to what he was and dont rhink he will ever be IMI but he ain't half bad, i mentioned on another thread that if it came down to a straight choice between him and Obst for next season retention then he would edge it for me looking at the squad we have.

He's not a kicker though and I'm not sure whether he ends up with it (not just this season) because its expected due to his position? I think we've had some strong kicking sides over the past few years but Rich often ended/ends up with the duties, either by default or coaching or sheer bloody-mindedness.

I thought he was finished but was outstanding at Wakey best player on the pitch keep it up horney good to see because be sad to see him play for someone else

Glad to see him back in form. Must admit I was worried that he'd never get back to playing consistently well but he's he's proved my worries unfounded. Looking at the highlights of the Wakey game he makes a couple of tries as well as scoring one and his support play seems back to it's best.

As far as his kicking game goes - his short game is actually pretty good. It's when he needs to kick it further than 10m or so that he struggles. Don't think that will ever change!

Agreed, but it does beg the question as to why he ends up being the go to player after the fifth tackle for the kick.

I'd like to see Westerman / Tickle be given a more active role for long kicks and Obst / houghton involved in short kicks. This would allow Horne to follow up on these kicks which suits his support play style.

glad to see rich horne back to his best

im sure eating plenty of China Red will bring his body weight up
