So, when people mention the last two seasons surely they are referring to one season (i.e. 2009) when he was back after a very serious foot injury, a very serious neck injury and coming to terms with diabetes and the huge amount of weight he lost because of those things. Also, am I the only one who actually thought he finished the season easily as one of our best players?'"
I agree I think some people tend to forget why Horne lost some of his form,

He has started this one pretty well having created 2 of our tries in his testimonial before half time. That's the kind of form we need from him and if it continues he and we will be fine. If his form drops off then he should be under pressure - same as all players/positions.

| Quote: GODS UNDERTAKER "Had a very interesting RL chat over dinner last night with two suppliers one of whom is a Widnes Sponsor and the other a Bulls Fan.
As you do the conversation turns to RL eventually which led to another 3 hours on the pop however in that conversation both of them totally by their own choice agreed that FC would be title contenders this season, both said FC were the most unlucky team in history with regards injuries however the most interesting thing both said as well was ....
They both believe that FC have seen the best of RH already and neither seem to think he will feature much this year, The Bulls fan said he though RH was far too predictable in what he did from what he has seen in the last two years and didnt pose much of a threat anymore as he once did!
Interesting comments!!
Both also said that they did fear for most SL teams against our monster pack and when we got onto predictions for MOS etc heres a cracker , one said Omeley and the other said Yeaman could be there if he gets the correct service which he surely will this term
thoughts??'"
I agree with most of that, I have the belief we could be serious contenders well at least for a top 4 spot..I am concerned about Horne however I hope as I do any of our lads that he gets his mojo back, if not bin him..I think they are right tipping O'Meley & Yeamo for MOS, but I also think Manu could be up there. I believe/hope we will see the world class player Berro is, finally! We have some serious talent in our squad and it is just a case now of seeing how Agar manages this.

| I've said in conversation to a number of fellow supporters that I don't think our Richard will be in the 17 by the end of the season. Prove me wrong Horney.

Funny how people don't seem to want to afford Horne as many chances as, say, Yeaman to get his 'mojo' back. Horne has easily been the better of the two over the last few seasons.
I don't believe that Agar will play favourites. He can't afford to. Should ANY player consistently under-perform this season then I expect to see them dropped.

Indeed, Hall has had more chances too, and not taken them.

I disagree with your first statement, however I agree Agar should drop any player who is under-performing, if he does this is another matter.

| Horne is predictable, but on his day he can still make great defenders look daft. Hopefully we will see him back to his best this year.

I do hope so Zucc!!
but my gut feeling is my original post may be right but hey lets give him a chance and I hope he proves me and them wrong, however I have a feeling we are more than covered with new blood if he isnt up to it.

| Re-affirming as the fall guy of the season ..............
I would have thought it might be wise to wait a while and see how things pan out first

No where near the fall guy, Thorman was his display also detracted a fair bit of attention from a lot of players short comings. However I agree best to see how things pan out.
