So if G Horne slips up v Celtic, you would expect C Hall to play v Catalan. For me, C Hall should show himself v Celtic to give Agar the option of Hall/Horne v Catalan.

But that's only opinions on options, if C hall were to excell v Celtic and Catalan as he did last season and kept his place, would you think it unfair on G Horne to miss out as he hasn't done much wrong.
Like most people agree you have got to look at what you have got, as I would expect Maloney to get a run out this weekend in place of King.

Which is why some have suggested Hall should play against Celtic because of his pace. Apparently though, G Horne needs to put in a nightmare performance before Hall can be allowed to play.

And what has C Hall been told, 'your'e a spare pr-ck at a wedding' ?
To claim something, it has to be contested, otherwise it's been given and I don't think thats the case.

I think Agar should establish and play his best seventeen. When they get to playing well and with confidence, then you can start to introduce other players into the seventeen.

It will have been contested

Why do you think Horne got the shirt against Leeds? By lottery.

Pre season Horne obviously impressed Agar enough to give him first chance.

This does not mean it is his for good however...

Yeaman must be fantastic during pre season!

Why should it be G.Horne that's dropped for Hall?
Is Yeaman indespensable?

Who says slipping up is playing poorly. If there is competition slipping up could be putting an average performance in. G Horne is playing well, slipping up may mean putting in an average performance.




See my reply above. Ive never said i would be happy with mediocrity. You too have presumed that slipping up means playing poorly.

So no matter what happens Craig Hall must be in the team or we will be rubbish?

Competition for places is what we need this year.
Last year we struggled to get a fit 17.

that was'nt what i meant Dave.
I was getting at the fact that people are debating between G Horne and Hall when we have another centre who should be looking over his shoulder.

At the minute i guess where im coming from is that neither of them need to be looking over their shoulder. If anything the main time that they do is when Raynor comes back and Briscoe plays that well he makes himself un-droppable.
