Old thread was well past the 1000 post limit and also full of childish bickering.

Let's see if we can keep this one on topic and any arguments restricted to PM, eh?

No chance

Fuck off Kosh.

Early choked on my sandwich

The way things were talked about last night, I doubt there's any plan to acquire a front line half back. Got the impression we'll go with Horne and Miller, with Heremaia getting specialist kicking coaching during pre-season for when he is needed (think all our halves could benefit from this personally) and any signing will be made to support Horne.
Maybe that's the way to go? It would give us a reasonable amount of time to go through the normal recruitment cycle for a half in 2015. By then I fully expect one or two of the current crop of young halves to be ready to step up and be a back up to Miller and A N Other.

To be fair Houghton kicked better last season, maybe this is another area we could improve.

But our fundamental issue was that we didnt have the skills to unlock defences, so we need this sorting or it's same again next season.

Yes - specialist kicking coach in for pre-season to bring our kicking game on a bit.

It's all a bit heady after the number of 40/20s we kicked last season

So two outside backs then? Maybe this means we could look to offload Crookes? Hopefully Yeaman too but can't see Radders being cut throat to his old pal.

Unless we sign a quality centre who arises from the World Cup I would prefer to see Arundel start at left centre ahead of Yeaman.

If that's true Horne for Holdsworth is a big negative step, some of the criticisms of him are valid, but despite him being an Aussie he was possibly our most important player last season.

Should that say Airlie choked on my sandwich??

I've got my coat

don't call us.

I initially thought that, but the way it reads in today's HDM it's 2 players, 1 of whom will be an outside back, the other a halfback. Would make slightly more sense given how many outside backs we already have.
