For some reason, when people seem to reach a milestone or achieve something of importance, this is the case. Not just for Hull, but I think throughout sport. I don't understand it, myself.

Some tough decisions ahead for the club and for Horne this year . With the potential of some big signings for the 2012 season .He needs to play the vast majority of games this coming season to stand any chance of a contract offer for 2012.

I can't see him playing half to be honest, hope i'm wrong though

Get Horny to fullback and drop Tansey. Simples!! Rich shouldn't be defending too much so his body wont take as much of a battering. He can catch, has good feet and support play and he can defend when needed to. He isn't as fast as he once was but look at wellens. He is solid at the back and can come up with big plays!

I've always wanted Horney at fb and I think he will do well there!

Any Thoughts?

He played abit part at fullback in the playoff game against Rovers at KC and I felt for him, he got nailed a few times by Newton, to me he looked like he didnt want to be there.

NO, NO, NO!!!! Did you not see the play off game? Granted he has not played FB for some time, but he is not a FB. His body would not last 10 games at FB.

Dont want to seem so negative about Horne, because I used to really rate him and he has/is a fantastic servant to the club and will always give 100%. I have no doubts he can still preform to a good standard, as his early form last year showed. However, he is just too injury prone now, and as a club we can no longer pin our HOPES on him playing week in, week out. How can we ever get a settled partnership in the halves while he is our first choice 6. I think if he plays 15+ games next season, then we should offer him a new one year deal, but on massively reduced terms and we should look at him as a utility/cover.

Congratulatoins Richard and Clarie on your marrige.

Spoke to Rich today, hes very confident of being fit for Cardiff.

Think it would be a mistake to play him at Cardiff if he does not figure in the friendlies.

He wont play any part in either friendly, so he has to start somewhere and im happy with that being Cardiff.You only have to look back at the "hit" he took coming back in a Wembley cup final.

could always start on the bench at cardiff if passed fit

Is Nicklas fit? If he is then play him with Long in both warm up games and give him his head at cardiff instead of all this b0lloxs playing Washy and Westerman there.

Lets face it....we needed a back-up halve and we havent got one yet....just shows our ineptness.

yes hes fit and will prob start in the friendlies,and so he should,i think we will see quite a lot of him this season,cant see washy been used in the halfs mark.

Ah but would Nicklas end up playing centre again?
