every team in SL is looking for that man at the same time

your not wrong scott

Im not throwing a strop im just saying we need to change our 6 to push forward.

Yes but we are told time and time again that the players come because Agar is such a great coach

We have had more then enough time to get a balanced six and seven but havent due to the people in charge having no idea.

TBF we're all guessing we dont know if he would drop Horne but from listening to Agar i dont think he would. I could never see RA do what Smith did in a final and drop your starting 7.

Everyone knows what Hornes about, inside ball or a show n go. I hope RA brings someone in so Horne will have to perform or hes out. Horne and Yeamo are 2 players who he wont drop imo of course.

The past two seasons Hornes started the season very well and then dropped of through Fitness and injuries, could this be down to the diabities and the management of it?

I don't buy all this RA won't drop Yeaman or Horne. Once we have better options, next season maybe, then I believe it will be easier to make these tough calls when he has options to bring in.

As for Horne, imo he needs a injury free run, should that happen then I have no doubt his quality will be there for all to see. That said unless he has an absolute belter next season I don't see his contract being renewed. I can see both him and Long leaving, well Long might stay as a coach.

For next season I just hope they both stay fit because if they do then I believe we can challenge. Plus RA will bring in another half so that will strengthen in that department too.

Moderators ban tis idiot!!!!
fancy using such sense as that on here where is your sense of pride man!!

100% correct paul
You know what is very unique to FC and its fans , thats how one week a player is their idol and the next day they should be shot at dawn, i have said it before and will again that we are a community club and act as such and that means we do not throw players out anymore or cancel contracts anymore unless needs be..

The club felt very bad after the Domic senario and vowed it would never come again unless unavoidable

a"community club", rubbish, we are in the RESULTS industry, simple as that.

Probably is the root cause of his at times below standard performances. Imo though i dont think we should be playing a player who's body is in hormonal turmoil when we know there is a risk we may not get 100% for 80 minutes consistently over a season. We cannot afford take the risk. We cannot spell him with an interchange as their are other areas that the modern game looks into using regular interchanges for example props, hooker, backrow. I think the time is now for horny to drop a league level and let his body catch up. Its early days in his diabetes management

I would have thought this was as much to do with player availability as cap space. We've also been restricted by cap and quota considerations - or does that not count when it's us?

We replaced Cooke the same season he left - with Head. Then Dykes. Then Thorman. And finally Long. We haven't replaced Horne because he's still here and still under contract. It now seems that we're looking at halves for the near future. What more do you want?
