Does anyone actually want Horne to play. He clearly wont be fit so why take the risk? hopefully its just paper talk. lets get RH as fit as we can and only then let him play IMO

Fully agree. A bruising derby's not the best game for a comeback. Plus a bit harsh on Turner IMO.

He shouldnt play. I'd keep him training, give him a few games in the reserves then bring him in. Even if his 1st game is round 7-8 thats the best way imo.

Agree with that, just because he is Horne doesnt mean he should be exempt from a few games in the reserves to prove his fitness and that he's fully recovered from his injury.

He also needs a couple of run outs before stepping straight back into SL

How about we convince him to retire and replace him with someone who has the physical presence and ability to not only play the game to a standard the he cannot but to also be able to get himself on the pitch for more than half a dozen games a season !!

This has gone well O/T.....but if were now debating Richard Horne, if fit, id play him at 1 with Turner 6, if we have to bring him back in a derby then so be it, if hes fit hes fit and he plays in my book.Remember when we brought him back at Wembley?

I want him to get 100% fit and then earn his place in the side. Rushing him back will no nobody any favours, least of all Horne himself. A lot of his problems over the last few years have been down to playing injured far too often over the course of his career. Turner is doing well enough IMO to play at Cardiff and let Horne have the extra recovery time.

As a mod, why are you allowing and contributing to blatant "THREAD DRIFT"........this is an exchange of opinions on Horney, and nothing at all to do with rumour, i believe

If we play Horne, what does that say about our squad? He hasn't played at all in the off season and when he did play last year he looked a shadow of the player he once was. I agree that he should have to earn a recall and as much as I admire him as a player and a great club man, sentiment should not be allowed to dictate our team selections. If we are ever to see Jordan Turner live up to his potential , he needs a run of games in one position and then we can make our judgements on him after that.

Fullback is the last place you would want a half fit Horne (who still isnt doing full contact in training) as it would be a repeat of Rovers in the playoffs as he would just be getting kicked to all the time and getting smashed on his kick returns.

So, in the last week we've learnt Paul is too busy to moderate properly and you can't be bothered.

sounds about right

Horney struggled big time at full-back last game don't see the big thing about horney at full-back .let's get him fully-fit but he does seem to have put a bit of weight back on which is good
