The thing with Horne is he's solid in defense but won't really do much in attack. I personally think Hall should play there.

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.

Quite sad, really! :lol:

SPOT ON!

I agree.

Must say i'd be amazed if Agar plans to pick G Horne in front of Hall or Briscoe.

I think he played really well in a lot of games but still also think we need a different option there. See what happens i guess.

Greame Horne has earnt the starting right centre spot on last nights performance IMO. Looked very strong.

Will just show our ambition then wont it and we might as well show Hall the door as i bet he goes when O.O.C and will come back to bite us on the ar$e

Thing is i'm quite a fan of G Horne but IMO there are better players in all the positions he can play. I simply don't buy into this theory about Halls defence being a weaklink when is offence is pure quality.

Fair enough, still think we have better players though for that position but as long as he keeps performing i suppose he deserves to keep the spot. Competition for places has to be a good thing!

I suppose using the same principle Hall has earned the right to be starting full-back and Houghton starting hooker :wink:

Its a tough call as Horne did well last season and last night but if I were choosing the side I would have Hall and Yeaman as the starting centres for the beginning of the season and see how Hall goes.

Likewise.

We need some threat in attack, and Hall offers that in spades.
