Love the guy to bits. black and white through and through but if Hull FC are ever to do any good we need to move Horney out of the half back roll. The guy is great in broken field but useless creating breaks or moving the team around. We need a stand off next to Long!!! (Sorry Horney band wagon!!)

Berrigan.

Yup, and Horne to 13, but we'll keep trying to make him play in the half back role because our coach is inept.

PLayed better second half

Thought horney did ok myself , some of his passing wasnt great but looked more lively + created few openings

sorry can't agree standee when we have 2 loose forwards why would we move one of ou halfbacks there??

if we player with a proper LF ie when we had brough at 7, horne at 6 and cooke at 13 then we don't need another stand off bringing in.

Play either washbrook or whiting at 13 and ask them to help long direct the team around the field and leave horne to play his game.

Having watched the replay i cant see what Richard Horne is bringing to your team,he looks like a very average player

Jog on

Agree, him and dobson are the epitome of average.

he's been poor all season, but some won't admit that because he's the testimonial boy

last night it was a slightly better performance, because at least he put some decent kicks through...but he still isn't at a good enough level.

Much improved performance from Horne last night, worked well with berro.

Had a very good game,did I watch a different match???

Why....at he moment he is ordinary.

He has been poor this season but he's done more than enough for this club in the past to deserve at least next season to show he can fully overcome his health and injury problems IMO.

The biggest problem regarding him is indeed what his best position is, to be honest I've got no idea myself!

Horne going to 13 for me is a big no no..!

We have to very good 13's in Washy and Whiting, so play one of them there, don't drop both of them just so we can fit in a player who is playing crap in another position.

I've said for a while now that I'm not too fussed about Horne, as he's not creative enough. Although Longy coming in may help Horney but I can't see it tbh.

Next season for me go with either

6. Horne
7. Long
9. Berro/ Houghton from bench
13. Washy

or

6 Berro
7. Long
9. Lee/ houghton from the bench
13. Washy

Thats how i see it...he may have needed this season to feel his way back in.

Bingo

Would you also be happy with the other option if they decided to go with that?

yes but i think this one is more likely,tbh honest think a lot of people have forgot about washy hes been out that long

will be good to see him back,and briscoe

Agreed.

He is in the middle of a poor run of form at the moment.

Seems to be taking the wrong options and doing everything half a yard too early.

Thought he had his best game in a few months. Still not a shadow of his former self and may be a hinderence more than a help in the future.

What people are still not realising is that with Agar persisting on not playing a creative loose man it's had a detrimental effect on Horneys game, coupled with his injury and illness this has taken its toll IMO.
When the team as a whole throw the ball around Rich looks a better player simply because he does not have to provide the direction.
The basic game plan that Agar prescribes to makes it easy for other teams to nullify his skills. Add to this, a lack of runners and creative centres.
You only have to look how Wigan are doing with the addition of Gleeson etc and you have a very big clue as to why Rich looks somewhat underdone this season.
He has never been (and never will be) an out and out creative player. But he still has a lot to offer the club and its fans hopefully for years to come.
