IMO, Horne is wasted at Full Back. I know tthey mentioned on SS that he requested to play there, and he does the job OK, but he needs more ball to take the line on and he cannot do that from FB.

Move Thorman to full back and get Horne in the halves ASAP.

Danny Tickle was excellent though and IMO should be in the England Squad.

Tickle seems to have being galvanised by our new signing.

Thought Tickle...although can sometimes go missing was spot on tonight..apart from his miss

I disagree about horne, at the moment he is our best option at full back. Thorman is grade A rubbish no matter where you play him and moving him to full back means more points shipped each game.

Drop Thorman...put Horney back where he should be as our main attacking threat and bring in Mr Blobby to replace Thorman.

thorman was useless at fb last season.horne looks class there and supports in attack anyway.

When you're running at Lee Briers all night you can't help but impress. Tickle is nowhere near International quality.

What was the reason behind releasing Briscoe (Shaun)? Salary cap? If so, who did he make way for?

He wasn't good enough in attack and Motu Tony was much better in attack then him (IMO). Tony replaced Briscoe but it was Bryne who was brought in as a replacement for Tony's role as a 'utility' player.

Todd Byrne !!! Another masterstroke from Peter Blunt !!!

don`t go there matey,please

Blimey.

todd byrne - when are we replacing him in year 2000 and never

Sorry about adding fuel to this very old issue but is there a single season Motu's scored more than Briscoe? I'm not sure how you can say Motu is much better in attack! I also think that when it comes to decisions on recruitment and squad retention over the last 4 years, it's clear that the majority of decisions were mistakes.

Put it this way id rather have a safe Briscoe at the back than an attacking Tony.

Yes, because he was by far the worst player on the pitch this year before he got injured. Get a grip.

Horne was excellent at FB tonight. He needs to stay there. For good if we can get a couple of quality half backs for next year.

What do you mean? he now sits in the comfort zone cos Crocker aint here?

The Hull FC policy of signing "utility players" over specialists

Agree..but get ready to be shot down in flames.

Ultimately, money.

As I understand, Shaun was offered a contract extension and was willing to sign, however, another club came in offering more and he ended up going there.
