but but but he's a local lad...........

Horne has been garbage, I think some people watch a different game when mentioning his short kicking game, yes, he is short of a kicking game!

Overreaction again, Long,Horne in the halves Obst at hooker with Houghton as an interchange Hooker
(he will only ever be a scooter from dummy half,hasn't got the skills to be anything else).

Why do you bleat about this local lad stuff, no on ever mentions this as a reason but you always harp on about it?

He never created a try for Briscoe then in France?

He gets too tired around the 50-60 min mark for me.

I agree he needs dropping, I would play Obst and Long together but I would have Horne off the bench. He could be useful there on Friday.

Although he is playing badly he is still the only player who supports, the last try against the Bulls being a perfect example.

And the week before with supporting Ogre's offload.

He's doing well, people just have an issue with him/wanting more signings.

I would use Turner off the bench, he has been playing well and deserves the shirt over Horney, he can cover the h/backs if needed, with Obst covering houghton if needed, plus Turner can step in at centre or wing if required.

Not at all, I don't have an issue with him, I have an issue with his ability and his cost. He's is doing the bare basics and getting adulation from some corners.

Thats Hulls problem, too many players who we can say that about.

Obst

Horne

Whiting

Turner

I'd have Turner on the wing outside Gleeson.

Phelps
Turner
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Obst
Long
Ogre
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Lauaki (prop)
Dowes (prop)
Whiting (Back row)
Horne

Created one for menzies too didn't he?

I disagree that he is doing the bare basics. Watch the highlights of the Bradford game and he is involved in most of our attacks and created a lot of chances which we failed to convert - yet again. Even before that, I remember at Wakey he created more chances which we somehow bombed, his charge down to Briscoe's knock-on sticks in my mind.

Bingo!

Hardly.

Like I said I would drop him, he has not been good enough in recent weeks and I'd like to see Obst/Long have a go together.

I think it will be:

Phelps
Whiting
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Ogre
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Fitz

Lauaki (prop)
Dowes (prop)
Washy (Back row)
Turner
