To me our missing link in the team is stand off.......personally think Horne isnt the answer and Washbrook certainley isnt......Washys defense is superb but im sorry...with ball in hand he is slow and takes wrong options...i know he has to play there but i believe for us to go to the next level...we need a 6 to compliment long.

Disagree, Rich Horne will return soon and prove his ability.

His partnership with Long should be outstanding.

So which english 6 would you go for?

He may return but how long for????

I hope he does and proves me wrong.

well hopefully the rest of the season.

Not many knocking about Karl who are available...why not give Whiting a try or even Tansey?

whitings not a 6 imo.

tanseys playing well at 1 why move him?

Funny...thought we signed him as a s/o.......Whiting could handle 6 imo.

Just the way Tansey plays as a pivot....think he would relish the chance to have his hands on the ball more.

Not a chance will we see them moved from were they are playing.

I'd like to see Tansey groomed to be our long-term 7, has all the attributes to play there.

In an ideal world, Tomkins.

Realistically, I'm one of those on here who think Ratchford may be worth a look.

whitings been with us years and has little game time at 6 so it doesnt matter what we signed him as.

its very different getting the ball at first receiver than second or third.

I feel the longer he plays at 1, till the end of 2012 id presume, he will iron out his deficiencies in his game then the move to 7 would be more improbable.

Paul Cooke anyone?
