Wasn't getting personal Chris, was expressing an opinion, nothing more.

anyway lets move on as chris says

that's not personal, it's opinion, widely held too!

anyway, we'll move on.

thank you Mr popular !!
move on

I'm as big a fan of Horne as anyone, and have defended him on here any number of times. I've watched him play since he broke onto the scene - and yes I mean 'live' at plenty of games before you bring that up. He's an excellent player and has been a fantastic servant to the club, but I'd question whether he has ever been truly world class even at the height of his abilities.

That aside, I'm glad to hear that he's looking good so far and hopefully on the way back to his best. All he needs now is a good run of luck with injuries...

Agree 100% Kosh, and that is what I was driving at, Richard is a very reliable player with talent and skill, on occasion with the right people around him he does some fairly wonderful things. But he is never going to get hold of a game and turn it around. As you say, we all hope he stays injury free and can play his essential part in our squad.

We don't need world class half backs, we need good quality halfs who can stay fit. horne played well on Friday but I doubt his ability to stay fit.

Really hope Horney can prove me wrong but I won't hold my breath.

Remember he has started the last few seasons in good form but eventually ended up off the radar.

Oh y'know, just the last four years worth of evidence.

It won't be long until you are all slagging him again

Much like you and other Rovers fans are doing to poor Fox, you mean?

Fox is in a poor run of form, Richard Horne has given your club a good 12 years of service. Horne only has to blink wrong and he's a has been who shouldn't be anywhere near a first team jersey and should be let go from his contract. Well until you win every once in a while

Sorry, I said Fox, I meant Shaun Briscoe. Or Colbon. How Super League's greatest back 3 have fallen

Phelb still gets bites



As for the halves, if Long is fit then I would play him and Horne with Obst off the bench to cover 6,7 and 9.

like netherton off your lot,1 of your posters has said dobbins have got the thickest squad in super league who are we to argue
