If your happy with Horne as our 6 next year or even in the 17 then be prepared for another average season. But hey hes from Hull so who cares

People on here seem to think his best position is fullback!

Do you think RH is a creative player? Do you think his predictable drop off is enough to take the club forward?

Thats the problem though isnt it if they stay fit !

I dont think they will ever have a settled partnership and I dont think Richard Horne is the guy to take us to the next level.
I would like to have two playmakers in the team as then if one gets injured the other can lead us round the park. Richard Horne CANNOT and never will be able to lead and organise us.

But that's an enormous if, this season they only managed to play together 5 times I believe. Both Horne and Long have talent but it they aren't the players they once where, even when fit. The club needs to bring in a replacement half back who can be considered as a starting player (not easy to find I know). Unless the club do that then a repeat of this season is surely on the cards where we will have to play with players who are not capable of doing the job effectively.

Totally Disagree if fc want him he will resign. Horne is very loyal and loves Hull Fc and wants to end his career here. Only way he will leave is if he is pushed.

Do you think hes up there with the likes of Tomkins, McGuire, Pryce and Briers ? He was in the same bracket as them but not anymore. People have been saying he'll prove the doubters wrong for the past few years now, im still waiting.

Regardless of whether he is still good enough or coming to the end of his career, we still need a half back replacement for both his and Long's position.

The thing is Kosh we get told by James Rule that they are always on the look out for players and there recruitment never stops but since Paul Cooke left we have failed to find a young playmaker. We keep signing injury prone or quality players who are not that level anymore. But still pay them that wage.

Kr have gone out and got Green to complement Dobson straight away.
We on the other hand are still looking?

Im saying RA doesnt have the bottle to drop him, which i 100% believe.
I want him to try someone new at 6 or bring in a young 6 (Briggs) Why not give Tansey or Turner a decent run at 6 not just the odd game.

I agree he isn't a fb and never will be, don't understand why people think he is.

But, for me his show and go and a predictable drop off is not enough for him to be our first choice 6. He doesn't have a kicking game his defence isn't what it used to be (Used to think he was the best defensive 6 in the league). He just doesn't offer us enough or create enough. His running game isn't one of the best in the league either, not anymore. Tanseys a better 6 and no doubt Briggs is.

Thanks for everything Horney you've been a great servant but, it's time to move on for the sake of the club.

i agree that richard horne still has some good games left in him but unlike a few years back when he could be consistently a great player, these days he only seems to have a good game every so often

IMO the best game he had this season was against castleford at home when from what i remember he set up a couple and scored a couple. also his kicking was good too. it was great at the time but then he got injured the next week

so for me, he is inconsistent, lost some pace and confidence and add to that he is a tad injury prone. that for me is a pretty fair assessment which means we really ought to use horne as backup and bring in a Rangi Chase type of player. either that or sign a FB and tansey cover 6/7. otherwise i can't see 2011 being better than 2010 - how could it??!

He has pace,usually good under the bomb,support play,breaks the line and good positional sense as well as one of the best tacklers in the game. I think its unfair to judge him on his last two games as he looked very rusty.
