For a girl....you talk lots of sense!



As good as Richard Horne is in ANY position you play him, I think he's one of the top two English Stand-offs, Pryce being the other.

He was excellent in the pre-season friendly at Headingley. Before pre season I had low expectations which were falsely raised in that game, now back to where I started unfortunately. I think the ability's there, but the consistency just isn't.

Long time since anyone's called me that

Sorry....Lady!

Even longer since anyone's called me that





Lady Barista, though, could get used to it.

Ive seen nothing to show me that the abilities there either tbh. I think we all wished he was the missing link but sadly he was never going to be.

Richard Horne has done well at full back however I still see Motu Tony as our number 1.

For the Warrington game I am hoping for

Tony
Calderwood
Whiting
Yeaman
Raynor
R Horne
Berrigan

With Houghton and Lee sharing the hooking responsibilities.

Think Berro is reluctant to play half- back though

Not long term for him, long term for the team when we have better options in the centre. If Berro replaces anyone in the centre it should be Yeaman. Whiting has been playing much better and, frankly, his combination with Calderwood is one of the few positives in our side at the moment. Why change one of the few things that's working?

Berrigan needs to play a more pivotal role than centre given our current predicament with lack of creativity.

1. Tony
2. Calderwood
3. G Horne
4.Yeamen
5. Raynor
6. R. Horne
7. Thorman

For me the only way horne and thorman will get better together is y playing more games alongside each other.

Always replace your divots.....................












Sorry my mistake mis read the post title

Full Back it is then.

Thorman needs dropping imo.

1) Horne
6) Washbrook
7) Berrigan
9) Lee
13) Whiting (Whilst Manu is out, play Horne at centre and Hall on the wing)

Bench) Houghton

If Motu comes back then Horne to 6 and Washy to 13.

I fully agree with you there, it need to happen to give him a kick up the rear, at the moment he knows he's not going to get dropped. Also he's playing a position he can't play, he's playing a stand off position at first reciever, he doesnt control the flow of the game like a scrum half does.

He's not going to get dropped anyway, not with Sharp at the club.

Totally agree Calderwood and RW seem to making them spots there own by working well together and really understanding how the other one plays. I think we might see quite a few tries on that wing this year if they are kept together.

Not what i've heard

Care to enlighten us?

1 Tony
6 Horne
7 Berro
9 Lee
13 Washbrook

Think this would provide the team with enough balance and skill

Agar will not drop Thorman though

I'd go for that although when Motu is back i'd be tempted to put Horne back to 6 and Washy to 13.

Would also add Lee to the names youve mentioned above but fully agree about Berro to 3.

But you heard wrong then.......grannyfan

ok

Berrigan to centre for me not a natural hooker
houghton an d lee to share 9
tony is better at hooker than 1 could go 6 and swap with horney during the game
radford sub prop

I dont think its as much as a problem at Rovers if we were to lose Dobson through injury, yes it would be a massive loss but we do have the players to cover him.

I don't think there's a team in SL who can do without their starting half-back for long.

I agree with you to some point but in Cooke and Galea we have experienced cover in the halves.
