Horne makes Berro look disinterested?

Good post Scott.Agree completely

In Horne and Berrigan we have a hell of a lot of our salary cap that is simply wasted. No team would be able to compete with circa £250k missing from the cap.

I wouldn't be too upset to see both of them go..... in fact, i would be quite alot happier. I just fear a poor performance when i see the words 'Richard' and 'Horne' in our squad.

So we need to find a player who can adequately cover HB. I don't see what point you're trying to make

so who is to blame for the last 8 weeks, poor peformances, boring rugby! apart from saints we havn't thrilled the paying public have we? now if you had put 'Richard' and 'Agar', that would've been more accurate

Wonder if tickle has regrets of turning down the rumoured chance of going to huddersfield now with brown doing his u-turn and staying, always got the impression he decided to stay at hull with huddersfield being in limbo in regard their coach situation.

Makes me laugh, when Horne gets blamed, and he hasnt even played!!!

Sinfield, and then bring a backrower in. Incidentally they've won 5 out of the last 7 like this and averaged 25 points.

I suppose that's the benefit of playing a proper loose forward instead of another prop.

Bingo. Long term though, I'd like to see us go back to a playmaking loose forward who could move if needed, like we did with Jason Smith.

The difference is, Sinfield has played in the halves for Leeds many times over the years and they know he can do the job to a decent standard when required. We have Danny Washbrook who has never convinced there in all his time in the first team yet we still persist.

Sinfield can organise a side, distribute the ball quickly and accurately, read the game and exploit gaps, and has a good kicking game. Danny Washbrook can drop his shoulder and step off his right foot into a tackler.

I'm not blaming the player here, I'm questioning why we continue with a failing tactic.

The main difference is Sinfield is the main Leeds pivot even when the halves are fit. Washbrook could be a good 13 he just lacks pace to be a halfback.

Correct Sinfield is the main man even when the two halves play. It does not matter who plays 6 or 7 as long as one of them acts as the main pivot. We don't really have anyone who is capable of that except Long and possibly Tansey.

The point was the Leeds don't carry an additional player in the squad to cover the halves, they play others out of position, like we do. They just happen to have SL's most intelligent player.
