Get with the program. Anyone not here next season should be immediately dropped, frog-marched out of the KC, and drummed beyond the city limits never to return.

Enjoyed watching Richard wear the black and white shirt hope the coaching job goes well for him. Thanks for all your efforts Richard

Not sure about that but Wakefield were certainly interested at one point.

well said, great player, great clubman, sad to see him go, said on the radio he's in talks regarding coaching, he deserves every success, cheers Rich

I would like to thank Rich, for being there

OK he has not had the best in recent years, but he has been a fine example of a rugby league player and from such and early age. For the last sixteen years he has been a great ambassador not only for our club but for the whole city of Hull.

I wish him luck in his future endeavours and look forward to him progressing his coaching ambitions.


On another note I do find it quite appaling that certain comments by some have not been removed and /or the culprits dealt with, they are not needed on this thread.

good post ian totally agree

He'll sign for Donny I would imagine?

As a Rovers fan I've really enjoyed watching Richard Horne play.

I think in his early career he was chronically under used by Great Britain.

He came on as a substitute in about 2004 (was it?) in the the Three Nations Final, at Elland Road when the game desperately needed the touch and verve he'd shown throughout that year. And we stuck him on the wing.

A marvellous servant to your club, I'd agree he won't go down as one of your greats.

Could turn out to be a really good coach, made the most of what talent he has and appears to really understand the game.

Applause to him.

Loyal, yes. Great, no.

Sorry, he just didn't make the leap from being a great prospect. I suspect for the last 5 years, only his local-status kept him at the club.

Give him an Aussie accent and a tan and he'd have been hounded out years ago as a "waste of a quota space".

Great service and career with Hull. Good pro never in the limelight for the wrong reasons. Must have been tough playing on after a serious neck injury and strength sapping illness but he did so to a high standard. Good luck to him in his future work wherever/whatever that might be.

It does. An FC great without a shadow of doubt.

We have had plenty of aussies with big names, not fit to lace Hornes boots. He has been a great servant for the club, and in the last 5 years, has been nowhere near the worst issue we have had at the club.

Not really. Not at all really. A lot like me can see whats in front of me n not allow myself to be influenced by those around who tend to know the least but shout loudest.
Never seen a player so quickly turned on within seasons. He can play 5good games n get begrudging credit. Have a bad 1 n it takes 5 more games to get any credit again.
Obvious to anyone who knows anything about the game he's been paired with the worst playing style's of half backs since cooke left. He's had some rubbish teams to try work with n had some hard times injury wise. Yet when he had a decent off season an a decent run last yr he won player of the month twice in first three months n was coasting assist charts till injury at magic. Yet hes been rubbish for 7 yrs??
people seem to be convincing themselves he wasnt that good in his early days. He was. Watch some vids. Talk to some pro players.
Should of always been a fullback for me though.
Hope he can finish strong!

Heard a rumour he's going to Wakefield as he wants to carry on playing

A great servant to our club, to play at the level he has for so long through injuries & illness shows how professional he has been, a record breaking legend.
