Surely Horne will play 9 and we'll play with a similar structure to the Leeds game with Whiting running one side and Seymour controlling things?

Horne 9, Whiting 6.

I seem to remember Wakey away in 2010 Horne playing hooker and having a dreadful game, will be interesting to see how he goes today, and how the interchanges go from there.

I think we'll put up a good fight today but fall away late on. I hate not being there though!

Im gonna say 34-12 to Wire.

Badly, I fear. He hasn't played there for a dog's age and wasn't very good at it last time out. Plus I suspect that he isn't 100% fit.

Let's hope Heremaia manages a large number of minutes.

Agreed.

I wish he was fit for the Wakey game, at least he would have got a bit of match fitness, wire are a very fast team for a comeback game IMO hope he does well.

We can but hope. Don't expect us to win, but I do think they will compete.

For me the completes the full set of positions for Stilts. I recall him doing a bit of scrum half at Wakey.

horne is starting 9, whiting halfback

Horne did play Hooker at Wakefield away in 2010, but it was his first match back from an injury and the entire team played pretty poorly, not just him.


I imagine that although Horne has been named at 6 and Whiting has been named at 9, Horne will operate at Dummy Half a lot and we'll see Whiting acting like an extra-backrower, with Seymour given license to operate on both sides as he did against Leeds.

He played there at Wakey last time out, but I think he's started at 9 for us before, in a home game sharing it with Jordan Tansey.

Crooks and Turner are up against Atkins and Monaghan. Could end badly. I'd have been tempted to play Briscoe on the right for this one.

Sorry, I should have added this season. I think he has played every position this season.

Got a bad feeling about this one. Fingers crossed.

bearing in mind the amount of tackles Danny Houghton gets through, is it really wise playing Horne there?

ticks gives away far too many pens!

Good start.

Get in! YEAMO!

GET IN! okay cory don't get too excited.... :S:WEsdgfnjvdfswrge

Yeamoooooooooooo.

Briscoe intercept, few tackles later Yeamo over after spreading it wide.

YEAMO!! Just the start we needed
