I really like Tansey. Think we've got a good buy there. Looks like with him, Calders and Houghton we've got a few players who can inject some enthusiasm and energy into a game next year.

horne really needs to improve a lot over off season. i know the lads black and white through and through but he's just not been good enough this season. this is what i'd go with,
tansey 1
washbrooke 6
long 7
whiting 13

Correct, (in the second half of the season anyway - I think some are forgetting he was excellent at the start and being touted as a MOS contender with the adversity he's faced, then went to FB to help the team out and was rock solid). Fortunately it's made no difference to our season, but we can't "carry" a player in such an important position (and on a big salary) next year.

Yes, he has been a great signing and we should see even better next season.

Very pacey and enthusiastic

When did he prove that. All I see when Horne is at fullback is a player who takes the ball, turns, looks at the line of defence and ambles towards it then gives us a slow play the ball. He isnt a fullback by a long way. Whiting is by far the better option for me.

too true.
hopefully he'll get back to his best next season and we'll allwonder what the fuss was about.

if it all goes well in pre season with form and injuries

1. Tansey
6. Horne
7. Long
9. Berrigan
13.Washbrook

looks very formidable.

Tansey will soon be crowned best full back in the city. Hes got more to his game than a few fullbacks i can think of.

i no some will discount your coment about best full back ,but i kid u not tansey is quality and will get better and better ,Brisco should be in the England squad he is one of the best wingers in the country if your good enough ur old enough

Would like to see that happen, but can't see Agar going with that

Agree with that.Surely his place must be under threat.

Morning Rich

Thought we looked totally directionless from the time Houghton went off and Washbrook went to hooker wih Tansey moving to 6. Tansey at FB for me with Long and AN Other at halves. If AN Other is to be Rich Horne then he needs a miracle off season.

I agree, ive seen enough in Tansey with ball in hand to be a very good asset to the club. Defencivly, yet to be questioned really, made a couple of boobs so far but the kid knows that and will work on it to improve his game. I just hope our inept coachin system doesnt coach that natural ability and flair out of his game.

Briscoe is on another planet for me, hes streets in front of some of the more seasoned pros in SL in his position. What position though, wing or centre? mmmmm..... If his brother is as good as they say he is then Jack must be a freak.

Shame.

im looking forward to it

we will see a better horne next season now we will have long taking the kicking off him

watched Jack play for our u 18s last week against the bulls ,he was terrible but maybe he ahd an off day

We can't rely on Long to do all the kicking. I know Tansey kicks pretty well, but not to the standard of say Longy. Horne really does need a big season.

Imo people would of been calling for him to be released, if he wasn't Mr. Hull FC.

You really think that? I didn't watch all the game but, his try was outstanding...

totally agree mate horne has been poor this season shame thorman has been the scape goat in all of this

But then again I really don't like the idea of Horne at fb. Imo he's just solid like Briscoe...

Whereas Tansey recieves the ball and looks around for space and opportunities, exactly the type of #.1 we need. Someone who acts as another ball handler!

Think Horne will be better next season alongside Long. Long does his best work in the middle of the pitch allowing Horne to play further out wide.

Afternoon

You think so? I'd prefer to think our fans are a little more knowledgeable than that TBH.

Hate to say it but Horney isn't worth his place and needs to kick on next season as we'll have options provided the injury curse lays off us for a change. Tansey has been quality and looks well able to play 1 or 6. I wanted him to play 1 but i can see the logic at 6.

horne was poor again last night. For what he is being paid he is a long way off being good enough
