Like to give Rankin a big rap thought he had a really good game as did Miller I will take my hat off to them both thought they were not up to it but in the last two games miller has proved me wrong and Rankin looked like a young Horney tonight elusive and great with ball in hand put some good kicks in as well some deffo green shoots as a pairing hope we stick we them and give them a run they deserve it for me or would any of you bring Horney straight back

Unfortunately wasn't at the game. Really hope Rankin and Miller played well together i've been hoping they'd get a chance. Did they play well enough to pair together next game?

I've always liked Miller and I thought he had a reasonable game, but nothing more than that.

I'm far from convinced about Rankin, he seems to drift out of the game for long periods.

I think we'd have won if Horne had played, but who knows?

hard one that, maybe play horne centre ?

Rankin wasn't particularly good tonight, think Miller needs Horne alongside him.

Surely it makes more sense to stick with Rankin/Miller for a few weeks and actually give them a run of games together before deciding it isn't working?

Thought rankin was okay really. Scared them to death when he ran at them. Didn't see much wrong in the chalked off one but did have a rubbish view
Miller had a very good game for me, more a man of match this week than he was last. Looked to have guided us home, some excellent passes, good kicks and some smart plays. Shame he couldn't drop a goal. Which was pretty easy to be fair

Hard to make a judgement based one game with Miller but I do think there were glimpses of a promising partnership there.

I'd be suprised if Horne isnt straight back in the team next week if he's fit.

I was just as keen as anyone to see this partnership, but we just can't afford to have two HB's that drift in and out.

Yes. Horne to centre.

I guess Crookes/Colbon, Talanoa, Horne, Lineham might work - just need to wait another 3 months.

Radford is quoted as saying Horne is our best halfback and he needs him back as soon as possible so im expecting Rankin to be dropped next week if Hornes fit

People seem to think Rankin was in and out I don't agree I thought he had a solid game put some testing kicks up I thought he used the ball well made some good decisions and was more affective than Horne his kicking was at worse as good as Horney's but for me he offers a lot more going forward a real threat not knocking rich he is reliable but is having too many average games himself nowadays I think we have to pick a partnership and stick with it for a few games we almost have to many options, Rankin and miller for me I will back the youngsters from what I have seen of them I got to say I have changed my mind thought Horney and Azza was our best options at half but not now

Chase was anonymous for a chunk of the game too, drifting in and out

My aftermatch drinkies team came up with the same conclusion = Two Aussies boys as Halves - Jamie at full back - Horne centre. Who the other centre would be who knows (don't mention Yeamon to me)

Whiting, for the present. Tally-Ho and who on the wing?

Not with our fans we can't.

Partnerships need time to work but our fans want them dropped after one game because we didn't win by 20 points.

Not a dig at you btw.

Rankin and Miller should have been played together in pre season and then started the season but that was never going to happen

Horne should come back in to the team - if not at half back then at centre. Personally I would play Miller and Horne in the halves for ten games and then look at it again.

I thought they did ok and think they need to be given a few matches to gel rather than constantly chopping and changing the team.

If Horne is coming back then let him come back at centre.

Now we are out of the cup the season might as well be used to transition us into next year. Unless we are looking to sign half-backs for 2015 then sticking with Miller-Rankin for a dozen games just makes sense.

Amen to that!

Radders seemed to point the finger at Rankin and Miller after the match with regards to their kicking game which I thought was harsh. I think they made mistakes with their kicks at times but at others they were amazing. They looked pretty solid to me last night playing alongside each other considering that was their first game together. I would like to see that partnership given a chance to succeed but think Horne will replace Rankin next week if he's fit.

Some of the kicks weren't great but most were a whole lot better than Horney's usual efforts (although he has improved this year).

Worst kick by a country mile was Azza's attempt just on half time. Should have gone to Miller to put the high bomb up. We messed up similarly with the last play at Cas.
