Briscoe has been really disappointing for me this year. No winger is good enough to be an English international if they can't finish off the situation Briscoe was in on Saturday when he broke the line and had the fullback running backwards.

Our only points this season have come when horne and holdsworth were our half backs

We have absolutely no pace in our halves. Horne is ok but he needs a big gap to be able to get through.

Not many teams have two organising/creative halves, especially one who's just a back up.

Let's be honest, the Horne/Holdsworth combo wasn't exactly rolling off everyones tongues at season start.
Unfortunately were now in the position were it's looking like our only viable pairing.

We needed two halfbacks last off season and got one. Horne is a good back up but problem is we lose Holdsworth and we struggle. That is not our only issue but it's our biggest one.

I wasn't suggesting that we signed a creative player as a back up, merely stating that [ipartnering[/i Holdsworth isn't necessarily the problem - it's what happens when he doesn't play. Of course we should be looking for a half of the sort of quality that they are first choice to play alongside Holdsworth, but mainly so that all of our creative flair doesn't come from one player. If we could 100% guarantee that Holdsworth would play every game, I think Horne could work really well with him (as he did in the Bradford game).
