Im sorry but I have had to question every players commitment to this club at one point or another this season and that does include Horney i'm afraid !

Spot on with that.

I think there's no doubt that the weight he's lost due to his injury has affected his defence. As far as the rest of his game is concerned, he seems to be struggling with not having an organiser again. We've seen his game collapse before when he gets too much responsibility.

Since we aren't going to fix that problem until next season we either have to hope he can pull himself together, move him to FB where he has less responsibility, or maybe even drop him for a game or two and see if he comes back refreshed.

didn't mention he had a good game did i?

kicking the ball behind the dead ball line on a hot day like today isn't a bad option, when he did manage to keep one in play, matt king had to force a drop out to stop a certain try from g horne

you cant keep singling players out. you will soon run out of players to blame, THEN WHAT?

they'll blame each other

Horne had a poor game today, but I think its unfair to say he's had a poor season. Admittedly he hasnt been firing on all cylinders of late, but lets be honest, theres only really 2-3 players that are playing consistantly well for us atm.

We make it far too easy for sides to send their second rowers at Horne, Rich and Graeme should switch positions to lessen his work load in defence.

Drop agar a line, I doubt he's even realised

I blame us fans we are always moaning.. then we come on the forum and kick seven types of Sh-- out of them

before anyone has a dig for 'trolling' this is just my opinion.

not seen much of your lot this season but the sky games have shown that in general, your pack doesnt get as much momentum as others, any half back would struggle behind a struggling pack.

You dont become a bad player over night. horne hasnt, a dip in form of himself and the pack is struggling, lets face it, he's not the only one not playin up to scratch.

And no dig at the end that you was probably expectin. I'm a rugby league fan, not a point scoring div that we see too often on here

Richard Horne is a professional sportsman who was diagnosed withe type 1 diabetes only last year. I was diagnosed with the same condition 11 years ago after losing 3 stones in weight over a short period. The inital feeling is one of relief when you are told you don't have the big c but the effect this condition has on your everyday life is huge. Trying to balance blood sugar levels while training as a full time sportsman will be very difficult for Rich and his energy levels will also be affected. Its gonna take him some time to adjust, more than he has had already and i realise that for non diabetics this will be difficult to understand. Every physical exerstion, different ambient temperatures and different foods all have an effect on the bood sugar which is normally regualted by the pancreas. We diabetics have to learn to regulate our sugar levels ourselves. He just needs the time to come to terms wth this and i'm sure he will be back to his best.

After having a very good first 4 games, Hornes been rubbish ever since at halfback. He did good at fullback but even then I think his performances were been overhyped. He's not as bad as Thorman but he really needs a kick up the backside

Well said that man!

Just another who has any shred of condfidence ripped out of him by poor coaching!
