My first thought was Thorman as he has actually had some recent experience in the position and because Horne is the better half.



EDIT: Actually that's not true. My [ifirst[/i thought was "I wish we had Hall in the squad."

Thorman is a better organiser and his experiences at fullback are largely bad ones

Not on Saturday he wasn't.

Jesus....its a no brainer....Hall to cover at F/B for that match.....cats have a big pack and Hall running at them will tire them out.

Really

Was against Wigan..........that will come once he gets to know players.

Oh I'm sure it was just an off day, but Thorman was largely anonymous apart from some bad kicks.

Stop it

It was no coincidence that we scored most of our tries on the right hand side.

You disagree?

I agree it has to be Hall who comes in! he did a decent job at fullback in pre-season.

We have options ,although not brilliant cover for fullback. I ,like many would keep the half's together .

Yes i agree we need Horne and Thorman to play together as much as possible in the halfs if we are to go well this season! and in Hall we have somebody who can cover at fullback.

Can't believe some people on here.

We (the fans collectively) complain about not having a settled half back pairing and no we are in the early stages of getting that and now we want to break that partnership up????

No brainer if Byrne is not fit put Hall there he can do a job

I would agree.

Anybody up for a poll?

Humberside were speculating during the Celtic game who would step into Byrne's shoes/boots, should his injury turn out for the worse. Rich' Hornes name kept getting thrown into the mix. Surely it will be Hall. We finally have a half back pairing and to split them up will start taking us down the blind alley that was last season. Anyhow, Agar seemed confident that both he and Washy will be fit...Not so sure myself but fingers crossed.

fully agree, with some of our new signings i think a lot more hull lads will leave as well.

Couldn't agree more. Seems pointless having a good youth policy if you ain't gonna play them and i'm frankly sick to death of some of the ridiculous comments on here about Hall not being good enough, or he can't tackle, or he need to play reserves to learn his trade.

The kid is ready now for S/L end of.

look at the squad were building theres no place for a talented back.

we want safe backs and big mean forwards!

and Calderwood is a safe back?

he wont play when raynors back and we move washy to the other wing for his tackling ability!

Agree, wasnt the obvious one to me either seeing how poor he was there last season for Hudds and how we look a different team with him at 7.
