| I reckon he could have got a playing contract elsewhere, however I don't really think he would have wanted to. Given he's being offered a role within the club that gives him a salary & still in contact with your friends it's a much easier option all round and one I respect.
He's always tackled well above his weight, putting many forwards to shame, that, his age and his other issues have put him in a place were deciding to 'retire' isn't as difficult a choice as it could have been.
He might not have being the greatest most talented player we've ever had but he's performed at a very high std for most of his career in a Hull side that has being off the pace for much of that.
A legend isn't always about whom was your best players, it's about integrity, loyalty, dedication, humility and actually being a nice human being, I always thought of Richard Horne as being a 100% type of guy..in my eyes he's a bona fide Hull FC legend.
As for replacing him with Pryce, I've not got too many qualms about it, Pryce still plays a decent game and has bags of experience, of course he isn't the long term answer but he's who we've got like it or not.

| thing is about horne, he was a top talent, but now at 32 them days are way behind him IMO...
I honestly believe the man was at least 3 years past his best, and the decsion in my opinion is a correct one.... no room for sentiment, if your not good enough nomore then your out for me.., we've kept hold of players far too long for afew years, time to move onwards and upwards for both parties concerned

| Thanks everyone who responded.
It's been fun seeing how many folks don't read the post correctly, or simply interpret what they want to see.

People thought it was a load of garbage, get over it.
