Im not saying Horne was a bad player at Hull, in fact he did have some very good games as i remember, i just think he looks a better all round player now than what he did then, i guess i will be able to make a better assessment of him over the next twelve months.

Not sure he is quite the force of old but, again, would come under Joel Clinton's £120k salary.

Would add some much needed grunt and aggression, if nothing else.

He's recently played at centre, a position many Giants fans feel is his best, but he won't be starting centre for Hull KR will he? Infact, I'd suggest Hall, Welham and Webster would all be ahead of him.

His second most recognised position is second row - but if Matt Cook, one of your best players IMO, can't force his way into the team, I doubt Horne can. If Newton/Cook are leaving then perhaps he will fit in here?

I know you'll suggest that he's just coming in as back up, but I'm not sure he is. Why would he leave Huddersfield, where he was a utility back up player, to come to a side half as good? (Only reason would be to move closer to home)
