I know it's probably the usual pre-season stuff, but Ellis seems to believe in himself, if he does push Horne aside (Horne, who has had yet another operation) then it can only be good for FC and the future.

Well he as the kicking game we have really missed and one thing for sure the real competetion for places in the halfbacks can only be a good thing.

I still expect Seymour to start but I suspect with Richard being injured, Ellis has a really good chance of staking his claim to a spot but we all know that once Richard is back training he wont let anyone down.

I hope he does well. Lots of ability and very confident in his own ability

Yea, this guy is a little dynamo, I'm betting he comes straight in, full of confidence.

With Gentle saying we chop and changed to much Danny Nicklas may be the one covering Horne, all depends on the system Gentle plays in the halfs.

He's back in training next week or the one after.

6. Horne
7. Seymour

Ellis hopefully training the house down ready for his big opportunity to slot in when required.

Nice to have cover.

hopefully Ellis will cement his place at 6 and we'll have some creativity in the halves next season.

Has Ellis ever played 6?

Hooker I think as well as scrum half.

Hopefully we'll just leave him at 7, challenging Seymour.

Aye.

6. Seymour
7. Ellis

If Rich unavailable.

What do you mean "unavailable", we should pick whoever the better players are on form, Horne shouldn't be an automatic selection.

I'm sure our new coach see's it the same as you.
I'm just telling you that Horne and Seymour will be our starting halve partnership at the start of 2012 if both fit.

He shouldn't be but because of his talent he will be.

what, talent for the drop off inside ball and kicking straight to the fullback?

we'll see if Gentle can rescue Horne's last year in a Hull shirt.
