For a bit of light entertainment, now we have finally landed our long awaited number seven, I was going through my memory of the different players Richard Horne may have played number 6 or 7 alongside in the Hull FC starting line-up? I also accept in the early days Rich played all over the back line and may not have held a regular position at 6 or 7.



My list of Horney’s half back partners:



1. Stanley Gene (not sure Stan and Rich started a game together at 6 and 7 ?)

2. Tony Smith

3. Jason Smith

4. Paul Cooke

5. Danny Brough

6. Mathew Head

7. Adam Dykes

8. Craig Hall (more a utility)

9. Anthony Thackeray

10. Danny Washbrook

11. Chris Thorman

12. Shaun Berrigan (more a hooker or utility but regularly played in the halves)

13. Sean Long

14. Brett Seymour

15. Jamie Ellis

16. Danny Nicklas

17. Daniel Holdsworth



Other players that have probably started at 6 or 7 alongside Horney and include Danny Houghton, Rich Whiting, Joe Westerman and possibly his brother Graeme?



So who have I missed? Which ones are wrong?

Tommy Lee? Not too sure but reckon they probably partnered each other at some point.

Heremeia.

Peter Lupton?

+ Heremaia this season

Gary Lester

Motu ever play on halves for us?

How could I forget Heremaia.



Yes to Tommy Lee, Lupton, Lester and Motu aswell I expect

Did McGoldrick and Horne play together last year at all in the halves?

Not sure if he partnered Will Robinson too

Did Tansey ever get tried in the Halves?

Jordan turner?
