How is Jacob going to get in this team?! Horney is on fire!

You need three good half backs. Hopefully we now have them.

Miller v Horne v Holdsworth.

Great competition for places.

What a great problem to have.

I'm starting to get very excited!!!

Honestly think this is the best Horne has ever played at HB. Added some craft to his game.

Could always move Horney to Loose Forward if you really want Miller in the team but i'd leave the team alone and let Miller get settled 1st.

Can't think of a better, more in form 6 in the full comp.

Horne is in World Cup form.

Great to have three good half backs at last. They are like buses!

Horney for England

He came up with some exceptional plays tonight. That one on one tackle on Waterhouse was a game saver.

Me too. Quality.

After god knows how many years it's a wonderful situation to be in - competition in the halfs.

We're going from having no halves to having 3

Shame he didn't have a coach like gentle five years ago but he's in great form and looking stronger, fitter and faster than he has for years

no doubt Gentle has helped his game. but lets not forget horney had awful run of injuries and illness to contend with

I like the the group shot at end of game. 1st Ellis giving a speech, then Crooks and then Quiet man Rich giving it some ! Good on him

On form, horney should be in the England squad.
Three quality half backs at the club is a superb problem to have.

Id rather him not play for england! He will end up getting injured when in such good form!

Another great game by Rich - the presence of Holdsworth allowing him to play his natural game is working wonders. A good problem to have when Miller comes, but also fantastic succession planning

Surely you're only saying that cos he's a local lad

Horne is playing tough footy too, he is looking fit and strong.

I say drop Horne, he's not doing anything that any other 'capable halfback' would be able to do

Still hasn't/won't get much recognition from anybody outside of Hull fans.
His name should be getting banded around at the minute much more than it unfortunately is.

Give miller time to settle, no need to rush him in before he knows our play book cover to cover and has bonded with the team. Knowing our luck, he'll get a shot through injury anyways!

All that looking for a half-back and Hull FC have had one all along. Richard Horne is their Danny McGuire. About time it was recognised.

@hullfcofficial get a great win tonight that could define their season. Richard Horne plays a key role again.

Martyn Sadler also waxed lyrical about Horney in this week's League Express, describing himself as a "lifelong fan" of Horne and that he was nearing the form that saw him in the GB squad a few years ago.
