According to the same thread, its being a done deal for a while"

He offers us much, much less.

Yeah but shifting him to FB and bringing in a more creative 6 would be better for the team as a whole

Is this John Morris any good then? Does anyone know much about him? Where's Hollywood when ya need him!?!

Put it this way, he hasn't got much of a kicking game and is very inconsistant.

and motu tony does what for hull



yes he does make yards. when he catches the fecking thing

rich horne imo is better at fullback i feel he does a hell of alot more then tony does

I disagree. Horne is fine at 6 with an organising 7 who will control everything. And Horne isn't fine at fullback. He offers nothing going forward and, from what I've seen of him, we'd be a lot better off with Tansey there instead of Horne.



Which says it all.

Ok.

Morris is nowhere near the standard we should be looking to replace Horne with either. He wouldn't be an improvement and we'd be weakening the team if we were to move other players out of position to accommodate him.

so your telling me you wouldnt have a safe pair of hands at fullback

and have a player thats done feck all since he came back

I'd rather have an attacking option than a 'safe' player. I think I might have been through once or twice this before somewhere.

That's not to say being safe isn't a good thing. Nor is it to say that I'd have someone like Michael Platt in the team. But when it's a choice between a reasonably safe player who offers plenty going forward or a very safe player who offers next to nothing, the RSP wins every time.

FFS. The kick returns will come with time in the position, and not having to do everything in attack. Every other element of his game is ideally suited to full back. Look at the bigger picture, not what has happened in the 2/3 games he has played half FB and half SO.

When another player is playing SO in the attacking structure, Horne will be even more potent hitting the line from deep and backing up any breaks.

Horne can actually catch a Bomb and pick the ball up when rolling on the floor........given time he will be able to join the line and use his running skills to great effect......would like to see us sign a out and out F/B but wont be unhappy with horne at F/B and a new no6.

Who are you refering to there. Horne, Tony, Tansey?

I firmly believe that if he had a full season at FB, we'd wonder why he ever played anywhere else. Provided we had sorted out our attacking structure, of course.

Tony.....how can it be Tansey as he isnt even here yet.

horne hasnt just come back and tansay isnt even here yet

the know it alls like unknown superstar must be right baldy as we know feck all and are not allowed our say as they are always right

Well you didn't make it very clear, in your post you were talking about Tansey, and Horne has come back after a year out so I would say he has come back recently. As for Tony, he has played 2 games ffs.

Horne is a brilliant fullback. In the two or three games he played there for us, I dont recall him dropping the ball once. Fair enough he may not be the strongest bringing the ball out, but he's more than capable in that position. Imo the only reason he hasn't been a regular there in recent seasons, is due to the fact that we have struggled for halfbacks. I would be more than happy to see him at fullback next season, and tbh I don't really think there is a great need to bring in a 6 (if that was the case) because I think Washbrook and Long would make a great combination.

so after 15 games hes just coming back



tansey hasnt even come to hull so hows he coming back i dont know



and i have never been a fan of tony at FB and never will be

i think thorman will get moved to 6 personally and horne to fullback

Are you talking about next season? because Thorman shouldn't be anywhere near this club let alone playing at 6.

next season in his real position 6
