Correct. It isn't.

Horne isn't the future, but he looks like our best current option, and he's been good for us in the recent past.

I & others said this weeks ago, but we've wasted a month on the crab.

This. Horne has been the scapegoat too often from our fans but he has never let us down. Yes, he isn't the future and I was one of many that felt it was better if we gave Miller and Rankin some game time together to try and gel but I'm not convinced that they will. I would have no issues with Horne returning to the team.

The general consensus seemed to be "give Miller and Rankin some time together" and this was reflected in the poll that was held. I think yesterday's events proved that, unfortunately, its not going to happen. We need to get an experienced 7 as soon as possible or its going to be another season of what might have been. I still believe Rankin will turn out to be a very good player for us.

Really? I've watched the same inept performances as yesterday for the last seven years, mostly with Horne in the halves.

Horne is crap, as was his brother, but sentiment runs Hull FC, that's why we have a bully as coach. I always thought AP to be a decent guy, but the club is rotten from the core. He has possibly had some bad advice. But keeping Yeaman, signing Carvell, come on, admit defeat.

In Horne's defence, for a lot (most) of that time he was being asked to play as an organising 7 alongside such heavyweights as Danny Washbrook. Organising and long kicking have never been Horne's natural game, but he was shoehorned into that position time and time again. On the few occasions he's played alongside a fit and competent half, he's done well.

Sick of hearing this defence of Horne. He's an experienced halfback, how at his age is he not able to control a game? Why has his kicking never improved?

it's simple, he's not very good. He's a great guy and always gives 100%, but he can't conjure talent he hasn't got, he's like Radford, the epitome of average.

Give over. There are any number of experienced halfbacks who aren't organisers/controllers, and Horne's kicking game HAS improved. Albeit his long game is still too hit and miss. Again, not every halfback has a quality kicking game. Although Horne's short kicks are usually very good.

He isn't the answer at 7 but at the moment he's better than anyone else at the club. Do we need a new 7? Yes. But in the meantime Horne is a better option than Miller.

For several weeks now, we have seen you and others bleat on about giving Miller a chance, and how if the forwards built him a platform he would show us what he had.
Well after yesterday we now know what he's got. Not much
The platform was built, he had bags of space to operate against a poor team and all he could do was go sideways, give stupid penalties away, and kick poorly.
As has been said by others. Horne is not the future, but he is the best halfback at FC at this time.

He's not able to control a game because that's not his game. Some halves are organisers, some aren't.

Who do we sign though ?
This has been going on since 2007 since Cooke left us ! Head , Thorman , Dykes,Long , Seymour , Horne , Holdsworth, Rankin , Miller and still failing !!

Dykes and Head were both cracking players, but neither could stay fit for more than a couple of games. I'd be more than happy with a half of that quality with a better fitness record.

Let's get one thing straight about yesterday, the forwards were on top and our halves got us to a 16-0 lead. Our forwards then capitulated after two scuffles meaning they lost there heads. Wakey then ran riot.

Why couldn't our forwards stop Moore offloading the ball?

Two of there tries came direct from errors by Talanoa. Why are we so reliant on Joe Westerman both in attack and defence?

Too easy to blame Rankin & Miller for yesterday, I expect Radford will do the same.
