If McGuire plays like he did today, I wouldn't have a problem with that

Agree. Our back row is looking very strong at the moment and would not make changes to include Fitz.

Also casualty news from #Hull KR (two stars face a spell out) & #HullFC (a key man will play on despite carrying an injury).
Guessing he means either Horne or Fitz.

i think it will be horne as agar said fitz should be good to go next week but playing horne will be a big risk

Horne will play through it, he has already been doing so by the looks of the HDM today.

Looks like Horne needs rest not surgery, but with a big few weeks coming up, that rest won't be for a while

He's actually out with a broken bone in his hand.

He'd returned from the broken cheekbone.

RH will play both Leeds games but may take a wee rest after that for a game or two

do you think its worth having the op after the 2nd leeds game and then hopefully get him back for the last couple of league games going into the playoffs hopefully?

So hes made of biscuit then

Resting him at the start of the week and he's "travelling OK" by the end of the week at the moment, according to Agar.

He's been told unless he continues playing through the injury, no way he'll get a new deal, according to MrPhilb.

he quite clearly is....no room for sentiment from me, if your not doing the biz, then get rid...........although he has been playing well recently...his contract earnings etc will outstrip his impact on the pitch..same as long etc

50k from his wages don't count on the cap, so why the heck not keep him

horne i feel is still a fair bit of from 2006 but to say hes past it is laughable, looks back to nearly his normal size for the first time his defence is back to his best and is deffo worth keeping but take it a year at a time regarding the contract but he should be here next year with out doubt and with another attacking fullback, hooker and most importantly a youngish halfback in seymour theres plenty of generals if you like on the field to allow horne to do what he does best.

It would be just typical after struggling with him being ill/injured/below par for the last few years to offload him just as he's starting to look like and play rugby reminiscent of the Horne of old.

This and his willingness to once again persevere for us with the hernia makes me think he should be signed for another year. Although we pay a big salary we can afford it and capwise we wouldn't get the same value from another as all the new man's wages would count.

And replace him with whom?

Horne's well away from his sell-by date. I honestly thought that he'd lost his game following his neck injury and his diagnosis as diabetic. I'm pleased to say that he proved me wrong.

Only an idiot would think that two life-changing medical conditions would not have any effect on a player's attitude to the game. I think that Horne has now realised and accepted what he can and can't do and his form this season, although still some way short of his 2005 form, has proved to me that he's still worth retention.

maybe thats why were nowhere near winning anything..hanging on to has-been's.... and then signing other has-beens in key positions........
the mentality from the club and certain supporters is one of being happy with mediocraty..i, for one am not content with that...

If we don't keep Horne, I am going to be disappointed. I undersand the knockers, but he is a proper hero in my eyes, on and off the field. Done nothing this season to suggest we should bin him. Sometimes loyalty should be rewarded, as should his form this year.

Are you a professional miserableist or just a talented amateur?

neither mate, im just right.......

another one trotting this out, just because it isn't on the cap it doesn't mean we don't pay him it.

2 years is a bad move, unless it's a seriously reduced contract.

I don't care whether the club has to pay the £50k, it's not counted on the cap. So Horne gives us value for money in a cap sense.
Think it will only be £25k from next year because Yeaman will get the other half.

He plays tonight.

well said, well worth a 2 year deal in anyones book and good value for it too

good, just hope he recovers well and is ok for next week and the rest of season
