You have it in one , he trys really hard to pick up the slack all the time but is a one man band at present, with missing half backs we will always struggle and then RH looks the scapegoat..
as for his stature he is now what he is due to his profession and his illness , he will not fill out again

Well regrettably with this stature and his illness he isn't able to tackle. That was probably always the best part of his game , his strength was disproportionate to his size. So he now doesn't tackle well , he's slow ( compare him to say Kevin Brown ) , his passing is at times shocking , he can't kick - never been able to do that other than the occasional short kick behind the line - and he's not an organiser or a general..................................but he is our stand off???? And will by the looks of it be so for the foreseeable future. Doesn't sound good does it?

You're talking to a Rovers troll.

Agreed, It has got to the stage though in my opinion were something has to be done to try and get Horne perfoming like we have seen in the past, although its not his best position he has played as our main pivot before and done a very good job there, in 2004 I think it was he earned a GB 7 shirt, and played there well in 2005 in the challenge cup run and was excellent in our run to the GF in 2006 in this position. He has earned a bit of time and he has had problems out of his control, but its not working with him at the moment and although he looked good against Wigan away he has been just as poor as Thorman was last season. Im not sure what the best action is, possibly taking him out of the team and taking the pressure off and bringing him back in with a bit part role to build some confidence up is something to try.

Or play him when he's fit?
