He has singlehandedly let in 6 has he? Don't be so soft! Whiting is no more a centre than Graeme is. Simple as.

Motu - Get rid

Calderwood - Should never of signed him, Get rid

Craig Hall - as a centre Time spent in reserves to try and iron out weaknessesand bulk him up. If to no avail get shot.

G Horne - last couple of seasons played well but not the type of player we require to go places. Get Rid

Thorman - Should never of bought him, get rid

King - had too many chances over the years shows glimpses here and ther but time to go. Get rid

Cusack - Dowes esque, good servant no new deal though. Get rid

Radford - time to part company. Get Rid

Tommy Lee - Get rid

Reardon - Not sure yet, we'll have to see what he produces, If and it's a big if R. Horne get's moved to full back then get rid or if he goes ok, keep as a back up squad player.

Raynor - Keep

Tom Briscoe - 100% keeper

R Horne - Had his natural talents coached out of him, would be great at full back or i'd also maybe like to see him as a 13 if Washy went, room to roam around and good hands he'd be more suited to either of those positions as opposed to in the halves.

Dowes - solid grafter, good defence, safe hands every team needs settler props he's one of ours. Keep

Berro - World class player, lost his way a bit. Get some top players around him, get some discipline instilled into the team and some leaders and he'll be back to his best. Defo Keep
Thacks - 1yr contractm, give him some stern words. Keep

Maloney - Liked this lad at Dewsbury, liked his efforts at Saints, seems to have the correct attitude we need in the team. Keep

Moa - Big future in the game and please let it be with us. Improved fitness and he'll be a world beater rugged tough prop every team needs. 3 yr deal defo keep.

Tickle - Good grafter, good kicker, think he should be spelled though as opposed to playing 80. Keep

Burnett - keep

Manu - On his day simply one of the most powerful 2nd rowers in the game needs to be more consitent. Keep

Washbrook - Just not sure about Washy, showed promising signs early in career seems to be a bit laboured at times, extended run at 13 could see him back to best, possibly 1 to moniter on short contracts.

Houghton - Definate keeper, gonna be awesome when full developed, let's just hope he doesn't get his talents coached out of him.

Whiting - Squad player and a top one too. Keep.

Do you not see how we improved when Whiting went to centre and how much better Calderwood looks?

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:

Whiting...YPOY playing centre....2005...hope that helps.

Horne gets turned a lot in the centre and cost us 2 v cas.....he isnt a centre and neither is whiting now but he is a damn sight better than Horne.

Our only attacking centre is being ruined by Playing at F/B.

I agree on the Hall point but totally disagree that Graeme alone can take the wrap for conceding two tries against Cas. I put that defeat down to numerous dropped balls, mainly from Hall and Thorman. I remember very well when Whiting won YPOTY playing (mainly) at centre in a very good Hull side with fantastic distribution from our halves, something Graeme hasn't had despite scoring all his tries. Whiting was excellent that year at rushing out the line to stem the opposition centre, but very average in attack other than his interceptions. He also missed 33 tackles in 19 appearances.

When fans think Graham Horne is a good enough centre for a team who want to be a top 2 side no wonder we are where we are...

FYI I don't think we have 4 players worthy of a top 2 side.

I'm saying we're nowhere near a top two side and in my opinion, Horne is equally as good/bad as 90% of our squad. To single him out is not only grossly unfair but bordering on the ridiculous when there's people playing alongside him clearly putting in much less effort and performing much worse. I'll agree to get rid if we're getting rid of the rest of the 90% but I don't see any struggling expansion teams we can swallow at the moment!

icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif Horne is not as good as 90% of our squad.

By your reckonning 90% of our squad of 27, he is better then all but 3 of our squad?

Craig Hall, Calderwood, Yeaman, Raynor, Tom Briscoe, Richard Horne, Whiting are all much better players and that's just our backs.

A point you and the coaches agree on obviously hence why we've signed a fullback.

I think you'll find I said EQUALLY AS GOOD/BAD as 90% of the squad and on current form he is certainly no worse than the players you have just mentioned.
