Good post that sums it up nicely! At one point last season we were all banging on about giving Max a chance, he had a run of good games, yeah some poor ones but I don’t recall that many.

What’s the score with Horo for next year, is he OOC?

Yes I believe he is contracted for next year.

Having said that, I'm sure I heard an interview on the radio with Chris Chester, that they were looking into the possibility of freeing up a quota spot, which would mean coming to an agreement with terminating a contract early.

Not an easy decision to make, if true, as I think they all being something to the squad, but if I was to pick one, and taking everything into consideration, it would be Horo for me.

Who'd be a coach, or a chairman

Must admit I thought Horo was on a 1 year deal but BBC website says 2. With the recent pack additions I thought Horo was on his way.

I like Horo, I hope he's with us another season.

Back to fullbacks; Grix linked to Shudds next year in League Express

Just read this on Aaron Bower's twitter.

Coaching job with their U19’s has been mentioned.

I’ll take a punt on Brough heading the other way......

I hope not

I posted this a couple of weeks ago on the Shudds board, but I’d only heard it as a rumour not as a definite. Is this a goer or lazy journalism again?

I hope its all just paper talk. Big loss if he goes.
It will disrupt our team and improve theirs.

Couple of questions for you:

Who is Jowett?
What the hell does herrendous mean?

I don't like to be the spelling and grammar police but every time you post something you just make yourself look stupid.
I think I'd much rather trust the judgement of the coaching staff and management at the club than I would trust your opinion.

Would love Brough back running the show,Hampshire to fullback Miller free to roam.

Brough is completely shot, if he wasn't Hudds wouldn't be getting shut - also don't think he fit's in the club ethos these days - normally I go along with who the coaching staff want but if we went for Brough I personally think it would be a dreadfull signing.

They got shut of Grix and he has done a decent enough job for us over the past few seasons.

I would take Brough on a 1 year deal tbh as long as we were not reliant on him as first choice, his game management is still better than anything we currently have and is probably still one of the best in the league.

Couldn’t agree more. He’s lost the pace he had that made him dangerous with the ball in hand, his passing game has gone way downhill and his goalkicking is nowhere near as reliable as it used to be. His short kicking game is still ok but everybody knows whats coming with him and he is easy to defend against these days. And thats without throwing in the point that he’s poision in the dressing room. I hope the rumours are wrong and we steer well clear.

correct.

Well I wouldn't, Grix wasn't past it, Brough is overweight and no longer has any pace - we are supposed to be going forward not backwards which is what signing Brough would be - like Finn he needs to drop to the Championship or perhaps London,

Have you ever met Brough? I have and he's gobby and aggressive to his team mate, personally I found him course even for a rugby player (that's the treputation they have) - this is just about acceptable when you are at the top of your game, he no longer is, he would be hugely antagonistic to the other players which is almost certainly the reason Hudds are getting rid.

Agreed - with both; he's yesterday's man.
