Couldn`t agree more Horne will be our 6 next season, i think we will see a different Horne with Long at 7 and behind a pack that hopefully will not get dominated like this season.

I would assume we are either looking at a right centre or even possibly a full back with Tansey being used as a utility back, lets hope the quota situation is filled soon.

Tansey is our fb and has looked very good we dont need to sign a Fb

www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/unlu ... 85170.html Worth a punt? Positives , Youngish and talented try scorer and should be relatively cheap , Negatives , had an injury and Smith thinks he needs NRL game time to harden up but can't get in to the team to get it. 1 year deal with an option both ways? He could have been a handy loan signing this year.

No thanks.

where is, THE BROTHER,has he been banned?

He's in Oz with Kath.

shes his source then is she?

Quite interesting at the bottom of the article:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Gibson

We might need one from Turner, Briscoe or Hall to cover one of the wing positions next season.

You talking about Calderwood?

well you had a 50/50 chance of getting it right

I've heard rumours about both Raynor and Calderwood leaving, never given them much credence up until recently.

It seems that Horne just isn't doing the business at stand off and should not really be played there. Some people argue that he just needs a good scrum half to be his foil. But a 6 should be a playmaker and is Richard Horne one? A lot of people have told me he is more suited to be a centre, full back or loose forward where he can exploit his running and support play. I think Jamie Rooney could be a good signing for you.

Not true and no.

No I dont tink he is

when rich horne was on fire in 2006 and scored loads of tries, he had a half-back partnership that was consistently effective

take away his partner, give him a few injuries and his form drops

add sean long, some good forwards and i have faith (albeit bias too) that rich will be a quality 6 again

until then all we can do is speculate cos there's far too many factors around at the moment which are no doubt hampering the horne

Wasn't Horne a scrum half then and Cooke the 6.

I think you'll find that a 6 should be a playmaker, you can't say that Paul Cooke was/is not a playmaker. You all make out Horne to be this great player but obviously isn't doing it at half back and has done nothing. He is loyal and a good professional and club man.

Whereas judas has set the world alight since he left

i think horne is better at full back.he looks solid enough and has a decent rugby brain but isnt the most creative.attack from fullback he can exploit gaps in the line.tansey could possibly play 6 and im sure someones said he fancies a try.

He hasn't no but things are different at Rovers. He arguably played his best rugby under a British coach in Kear who understands the culture and philosophy of the game here. Also there were no other players like him at the club and he was the go to man who took charge of all the big plays. Where as at Rovers he is not in the lime light any more with an Australian coach who has brought in some quality, experienced aussie players and Dobson is the favoured playmaker. Morgan and Cooke obviously have some big differences. With the collective circle that is Morgan, Vella, Newton, Galea, Dobson etc. who have the most input it is hard for Cooke to try and make the same impact he did at Hull.

he probably has just not appeared at court for it yet

No.

Cooke didn't play 6 for us.

You can have either a creative 6 or a running 6. Horne is the latter.

You mean the aussie clique?

I thought he played his best rugby under sharp to be fair who was australian but not a ptulant childish one
