He's got two years, if not more.
I aren't arguing about his abilitys, we'll see in the season who Gentle picks.
What I am glad about is when Horne or Seymour have a knock we don't have to risk them.

Alternatively he'll have an injury free season, gel with his new scrum half, and see out his contract until the end of the 2013 season. |

If he gets another contract after this one then Pearson's ascertions about top two were just hot air. |

You're judging Horne based on him playing a role he's not suited to. Because we've lacked a scrum half for so many years, he's had to play there by default as we've had little option. If he gets a run at 6 this year alongside a proper scrum half, that will be the time to assess whether or not he can still cut it at the top level.
As an aside, how would you feel if you were doing something at work that was outside of your area of expertise to help the team out, and people just kept saying how rubbish you were at it? Would that be fair on you, do you think? |

Personally id like to Ellis do well but i reckon he wont finish the season with us and will end up somehwere else to get game time as Horne and Seymour will be starting halfs unless injury occurs.

we'll see what the season brings, as for the second point, what a stupid question, the sentiment towards Horne is just baffling. |

You find it baffling that sports fans have an emotional engagement with the club and players that they support? |

Explain why it's stupid. That's exactly the situation with Horne. And I have no sentiment towards him. I'd feel the same if any player was being harshly judged by people who clearly have little knowledge of the game. |

Do you even know what jaundiced means? And you have little knowledge because you can't see what's right in front of you. Horne is not an organiser. He's got no long range kicking game. That he's been forced into those roles for so long is not his fault. |
