He hasn't a chance of a new contract, how could anyone justify giving him one after his abject performances this season?

Not a huge fan of Morris tbh, very hit and miss and not a player I would sign. Horne would be better at 6 with Long at 7 and a new fullback coming in or Tansey at fulback.

If we play Horne at fullback then the one area he has to majorly improve in is his kick returns. Seriously he needs to go forward and not just sidestep on the spot before making 5 yards. His awareness and handling of kicks are very good as his timing when coming into the line. Get his kick returns right and he would do well there but I would rather see him at 6 then Morris.

i agree

but i have got a nasty feeling thats what will happen

Why have you brought me into it? Not my fault I'm always correct.

Unfortunately catching a ball isnt the only requirement of being a fullback. Tony, before his injury problems was absolutely outstanding in that position, keeping a certain mr Briscoe out of the side. The only player Ive seen this season collect a ball from the kick and run full pelt at the opposition is Tony. Collecting a ball on the full, turning slowly and jogging back towards the oncoming defense is not good fullback play. Horne is an outstanding six and should stay there. Him and long will be superb together.

Shame that's what some people seem to think.

nail on the head!

does anyone care to think he`s been out a long time and it will take for him to get back to his best??

Not a chance.

Thankfully.

Going to back to Hull signing John Morris, I know how inconsistant he is and hasn't got the best kicking game. But if it meant Horne been away from the 6 posistion then so be it. As you may have seen me already post earlier on different threads. I for one don't rate Horne that much as been a creative play nor do I as a fb. He's not someone who will win you games and isn't anything more than average. He's only at Hull still because he's a local lad.
I don't expect him to be released at all seeing as he seems to be 'Mr Hull FC'.

He's at Hull because he's a quality British player who knows our club inside out. He's had a dip in form recently thats all, and I would argue that Agar doesn't have the experience to bring Horne on.

good post, Agar is too inexpereinced to bring the best out in any player, he is NOT a man manager simple as

After tonights performance, I expect another signing to be rush announced this week!!.
The new signing will then say "it was after speaking to Rich Agar that I knew it was the right move....."

I agree with you about the dip in form. Not defending Agar but Horne doesn't need 'bringing on'. He has played international games and should be taking the lead for our team by making things happen/taking the line on etc. It is the likes of Horne and Yeaman who should be leading us out of this mess.

Like anybody in a work place, you need guidance, management and I disagree, all players have room for improvement until the end of their careers. Its Agar that should be leading us out of this mess.

exactly, he is the manager, the so called leader and motivator.

We want internationals in our team to play like internationals. I'm not defending Agar but our internationals aren't putting it in.

And the most annoying thing is that Horne has actually done that before, so we know that he's capable.

Or at least that he [iwas[/i capable...

im all for discussing rumoured players but youve drifted well off topic

anyone hear anything about a kick of last night after the game?

Fans or players?

You know how the game goes as well then.

Horne has proved time and time again what a quality player he is for us. he's not here because he's local, he's here on talent alone. You seem to hate any players that can catch a ball FFS!

Brett Kearney on his way to SL: www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 60,00.html Any idea who's got him?

But he dropped it yest!!!

Seriously, Horney is a great player, but like a lot of the team seems to have lost it over the past few weeks. Maybe he has had enough of the Coaching staff and Board from ruining the club he has put 10 years into?
