I would imagine it will be Whiting, as it was yesterday?

Horne also played at Fullback yesterday. Martin went off for Ellis, Ellis went into the halves with Horne at Fullback and Whiting in the centres.

| Seymour getting better as the season goes on, his quick passes out wide are a real threat. Also good in defence, and as already been said, Heremaia will take his game another step up.
As for Horney, we know he doesn't have a good long kicking game so why does the team persistently rely on him to do so? He supported well on a few occassions yesterday, played a good part in our best try (our last try), and all he needed to do was catch the bleedin ball on Briscoe's break for another good try.

| Ellis came on, put one kick in, found the floor and turned the opposition around. Something Horne couldn't manage the entire game.

But, like I say, Horne never has had a decent long kicking game and Ellis has. Why we persist in giving Horney the ball on the last tackle is beyond me, Seymour or Houghton have better long kicks, or Heremaia when he's in the team.

| On occasion Horne has ran into the line well, however he does not excel at a particular skill...a good number 6 should either kick well or be unpredictable with very good hands. Horne however doesn't have any of these qualities and i'd really like to see Ellis play there on friday

So what does he bring to the team? I keep hearing he's having a good season, compared to what or who? People keep banging on about assists but I don't see the validity in an assist when its a drop off to Manu and Manu single handedly beating a defence.

That's all very well us being 3rd but were not a 3rd place team, we're a 6th at best side this year. Why? Because we don't have a good enough squad, if we want to compete at the top we need a top class 6, Horne isn't that. But 6 isn't the only position we need to strengthen.

Good short kicking game, been supporting well this season and also defending pretty solid. Yes, he doesn't have that turn of pace like he used to, and I've said a couple of days ago that we do need another 6 to take us forward, but I believe Horney is having a decent enough season this year and we have higher priorities then replacing him.

He has an alright short kicking game. No pace, no ball handling, no kicking game. I would argue that for us to kick on, an improved 6 is just as important as a centre IMO.

I'm sorry, but Horne has never been nor will he ever be a world beater. It's easy to get sentimental about him, he's been loyal, dedicated and a true professional as well as battling through his neck injury and then his diabetes. But to compete at the highest level we need a better 6. I'd like to think there is still a place for him in our squad as a utility back but I'm sure he won't be happy with that, which is fair enough.
