Why would that make Rovers a laughing stock?

Wont be too happy if true about horne, seems like our recruitment policy this year has been poor so far. Poor as in no real excitement about any of it. Im hoping this changes soon. Looks like 2010 could be a very different season than 2009 for us.

Previous comments by certain rovers fans on this site include things like 'if Justin wants to sign someone justin gets them'

Laughing stock may be a bit OTT but its amusing for some that the mighty HKR firsty goes to sign G Horne who all Rovers fans dont rate and then secondly G Horne may turn you down. Imagine the stick you'd be giving me if the boot were on the other foot.

Some people are easily amused.

You have been giving Horne new contracts for the past 6 years and ive never given it a second thought to be honest. Dont see why the cabbages are getting excited about Rovers alledgedly offering him a deal.
As i have already stated we wont be signing him anyway but what would be the difference between signing him or Jordan Turner for instance.

What a load of tosh.
G Horne
Moa
Washbrook
Hall
Yeaman
O'Meley

That's just FC players Morgan's been in for the last couple of seasons, let's not start on the Prince, Lockyer, L'Estrange type players, or we'll be here all night.

The more you say it the more its likely to happen you know.



Difference i guess between G Horne and Jordan Turner are their junior international pedigrees, Turner has youth on his side and is still developing. Turner is a natural athlete who's quick and strong.

The call was made at FC that G Horne had had his chances and that a new young utility player was needed. Im happy with it to be honest.

Gwillum Lloyd has stated on BBC Humberside Sport this afternoon that G Horne is not signing for Rovers and that their efforts are concentrating on their other targets in Aus.

Despite what has been said on this thread by both sets of fans from both sides of the river, 18k for a player of his age and experience represents good value for money IMO...

But dont forget, Justin didnt really make a move for any of them.

I agree, and have said so on a few threads.

Is he incorrect?

They were both junior internationals werent they? I guess the difference between them is Hornes senior appearences for England.
I would say that they were both natural, quick strong athletes with youth on their side.
Cant believe i am trying to stick up for a player that i dont particularly rate and that i know Rovers dont want anyway. I'm off to the pub.

Nope, but i was hoping for a debate about squad formation to date rather than using the political answer of hiding behind that arguement.

Ive been sticking up for Graeme all day on both forums. I still think he'll add a lot of value to your squad.

Money isn't everything.

I would say they are both coming from very similar backgrounds as youth internationals with potential. If in 6 years Turner is still a bit part utility player then I would guess he will suffer the same fate as Horne.

Thats what i was trying to say i think.

Not a bad fate is it though mate, been shown the door by a club that finishes last in the ladder of established Super League clubs but then (if you believe the press) offered deals by 2 Super League play off clubs.
Bet he is gutted.

No you wasnt.

I was kind of meaning the fate of never establishing himself as a first team regular/international player.

Not realising that potential.



at your established super league clubs b0ll0x!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be a very different season . The Tongan Mafia are coming !


And lets not forget O Meley and Fitzgibbon


Then behind the awesome back will be Sean Long

Surely you've won your bet by now?

No world beater, but an underrated player who'll allow Chev as much recovery time as he needs for not much money. Can't see the problem really.
