A full back and a loose forward created more tonight than all season. Couldn't get a cigarette paper between them for MOM.

When is Horne back? Will be interesting to see what he does with washy then!

They were both impressive tonight - Washy especially so given his lengthy spell out.

Tansey is looking more and more like an excellent signing.

Horne will have to play well next season to get above Washbrook and Tansey for the halfback spot

Fully agree on both points. TBH I didn't think Washy looked right earlier in the season but he looked back to his best tonight. Said to Mr B Tansey looks to be a very handy player. Laughed about him playing 7 tonight but thought he caused plenty of problems plus how high were those bombs? Danny Brough-esque.

If Tansey's gonna half back, does that mean we're persisting with Whiting at FB? Or Horne going back there?

Are we thinking Horne has joined the "dead wood"?!

Agar still sees Tansey as FB. Horne and Long will be 6 and 7, Washy back to 13 I reckon with Radders competing with Dowes for 4th prop.

No, but he will have to play much better than he had been.

in a far better team next season, he should do, no excuses

Nice to see halves in Hull shirts taking the line on and asking some questions instead of playing 10 yards away from the opposition. Helps to have some big lads up front playing with aggression as well.

Thought Whiting asked a lot of questions from full back as well. Added to the options & we looked far less one dimensional.
Best half back pairing of the season!.

The beauty with Tansey is you can play him at 1, 6, 7 & 9. Will prove to be an astute signing.

And he seems to keep getting better doesn't he?

Tansey not a fullback but can cover there, play him in his natural 6 position with longy, and put rich at fullback. It will work!

totaly agree there mate horne fullback,tansey standoff.

Strangely enough, I dont think we missed him last night tbh.

Washbrook was excellent, but its good to have competition in the side cause it brings the best out in players.

On last nights performance i think next season:
1. Tansey
6. Washy
7. Long
13. up for grabs

Could be pretty decent. 4 ball players would give some great options.

whiting

not a bad idea. Considering the wages horne and yeaman are on we need alot more off them.

for me horne needs to up his game a lot to get anywhere near the squad next year, and i think briscoe and hall are better then yeaman most of the time.

Whiting is a better fullback than Horne, imo. Good positional play there, a good reader of the game, and looked dangerous last night.

Agree totally.

We will see a different Richard Horne next year with Sean Long partnering him. IMO of course.

That's the problem with Horne though. He needs someone good alongside him to make him look any good. Bench player for me next year.

Big season coming up for Kirk, 2010 the last year of his current contract. At the same time you've got Briscoe coming through and Hall looking established, plus Turner coming in. Could go in the second row, but we've got Fitz and Manu as first choice, plus Tickle, Radford, Burnett.
