Who made both tries with the first cut-out passes we've seen all season.

Washys passing i the first half was very good, but he slipped back into the running mould second half.

Dont know why people are suprised he always had a decent passing game when he was in the Academy and his kicking wasnt bad either.

For me this week i would play him there again and allow him some freedom, if Horne is not back then Lee to partner him and just say to them, get out and play kike we know you can (and fook the usual game plan off)

Bingo.

Grade A, stadium, fan base counts for nothing if the team isnt cutting it on the park. Its nice to earn good money but its better to be earning it playing for a winning team with a coach who is respected.

Would keep him in the halves even if Horne was fit! Thorman out! doesn't matter if washy hasn't got a kicking game, neither has thorman on his performances so far. Just let berro or Tommy Lee kick from dummy half!

I agree he drifted out of the game (particularly in the 2nd half), I was just making the point that he is more than capable as a ball player, which was the criticism levelled at him.

And i agree he is more than capable as a ball player. FWIW he isnt the only one that drifts out of the game and we have looked a better attacking prospect this season when Washy is on the field.

I've only read a few posts on this thread and cant believe what people are saying about G. Horne. Yep, he aint world class, I'm sure he knows that. Clubs cant have 13 or 17 world class players in their ranks because of the cost. But he is a good solid player and his performances have suggested that. Also perhaps one reason is why he never developed as he or the club would of liked is because of poor coaching. It has been mentioned about Craig Hall and poor coaching and G. Horne is an example of this. He was a half back. Under Mcrae he was pi$$ed about and put in to the pack. This continued under Kear and Sharp. Think it took Agar to realise he was getting hammered in the pack and revert him in to the centres. But given chance at 7 the club may not have found themsleves crying out for a number 7. So before the lad is wrote off as average, i think its worth pointing out maybe why.

Agree about G.Hornes potential been coahced out of him, albeit I don't think it was on the same scale as Tommy Lee who seemed to have the world at his feet if you believed all the comments been thrown about when he was growing up and also when he reached 2nd grade level. I also think Hall showed more potential than him.
The problem with him now is that we need to sign a top centre desperately (along with a few other position I know) and if that happened, then I would prefare Hall and Whiting to cover the backs instead of him. And I feel 3 players like that covering the backs is 1 player too much

Shame Hall doesn't have the commitment or passion of G. Horne. I'd take G. Horne over Hall or Tommy Lee anytime

Tbh I havent seen G.Horne show much hint of passion and I also don't feel he is really committed either. Plus, it does seem that Agar has something against Hall so why would he want to show much passion or commitment? I feel under Sharp he showed alot of passion and commitment

Because he cant tackle. Leaking in tries at the moment and Hall doesn't help

You do realise that Agar moves G.Horne into the pack when Whiting comes on dont you ?

Hence poor coaching as i suggested
