True but you can predict that when he does get injured, he will take alot longer than other players of his age to regain his fitness due to his diabetes.

Horne is great on the field but the problem at the moment is getting him there and keeping him there.

spot on...

Unfortunately Richard is a luxury we cannot afford, it's as simple as that.

I still think Richard can be a productive member of our squad and even if this current injury means he out of the team for the rest of the season he can have a more off the field roll ala Sculthorpe at Saints.

He still has years in him and came back from a lengthy absence with a good performance. I don't like the idea of a club that cancels contracts all the time just because of bad luck.

All the best Rich, you're a local hero.

I think it's about time we used Richard Horne in the same way Wigan are using Paul Deakin - a really good back-up.

We need to sign a half-back that will last the season. They cost a lot of money. Only 50% Horne's contract counts on the cap due to being here over 10 years, so there's no point getting rid. If he's played less, it might mean we get more out of him as well.

It's £50k off the full salary cap. From next year Yeaman comes under this rule, but the £50k is per club regardless of number of players who come under the long service rule.

For the same or less money we could probably get Rangi Chase (plus a smallish transfer fee of course) from Cas. I know who offers more value for money. Much as I love Rich he should probably be used as the cover in the halfs rather than relying on him.

Agree.
I think Chase is a cracking player, but even if FC did want him I doubt cas would want to lose him.

plus the problem that chase is a quota player?

Slight tear in his groin will miss next two games back for Leeds!

Well it could work out Horney & Longy back for Leeds...that would be great news.

Ive heard that one before, and then they miss 6 months

Also mentioned longy being back for warrington
