When he's fit and available what do we do with him. Does he come straight back in or do we bench him or leave him in the stands. bearing in mind he was the best player we had in the first half of the season. I my opinion we haven't played as well with him out of the side in the last few matches.

What we do with him depends on how the players wearing the shirts at the moment perform.

Goes straight back in for me. W are missing him badly

That's my feeling. I can see him and Miller working really well together. Maybe put Holdsworth to loose man (he's capable I'm sure) and leave the other backrowers to rotate the second row.

Miller should play second fiddle to Horney for this season for deffo then assess. Miller is going to need at least another season being like Ratchford at Wire before he cements the seven spot and shouldnt just be given the spot because hes an aussie.

Missed him badly.

We missed him more than anyone else last night. Key player for us. I agree with the comments regarding Miller but if Holdsworth doesn't step up a bit, it may be his place that horney takes!

Is Horne due to be back for Wakefield game?

Although I agree in part with some of the comments, I do think it's funny how for years FC fans have been calling Horne for 'not being a 7' and then when we sign a 7, they are on about dropping him for Horne.

I have been one of Horne's biggest critics, but he has rolled the years back this season, Holdsworth has been poor for the last two games, but he's far from alone. Had he not being kicker most wouldn't be saying to drop him.

We desperately need a settled 6 and 7.
We have been chopping and changing (out of our coach's hands for the most part) for far too long.
Gentle has to make the decision who he fancies for the job and let them have some consistent game time together injuries permitting.

couldnt agree more if Horne was to come back into the side i would make it at loose.

This is an option we came up with in an otherwise quiet car on the way home yesterday.

I'm not sure the answer to our pack being outplayed by one of the least impressive sets of forwards in the competition is to put a stand off at 13.

I fear gentle will stay with holdsworth and miller, they are aussies so seems certain they will get the starting nod, just like galea who walked straight back into the side at the expense of Johnson and bowden

Out of interest what is the size difference between Horney and Pitts. Would play him at 13. He doesn't miss many tackles and would give him a free role to come into the line. I think you need to keep Miller and Holdsworth together to form a settled partnership.

Miller did nothing wrong to warrant being dropped,so give the kid another chance if anything give someone else the kicking duties.hopefully tickle will be back and I'd also restore yeaman to the squad as I don't think arundell is up to it neither is crookes.think we'll see a completely different team for the next game.

I think you should come clean, you clearly know the detailed terms of Gentle's contract, if he gets paid according to how many minutes his countrymen play then I think we all need to know, if his longevity as coach is directly linked to antipodean image rights and appearance fees then we also need to know.

Miller went quite well, Holdsworth was poor in terms of conversions, (but did try with ball in hand) but we didn't recruit him for that, both played behind a well beaten pack.

Why no criticism of Houghton, Whiting, Crookes, in fact, pretty much the full 17?

we had a bad game as a TEAM, not as individuals.

Its only my opinion, its what most people give on here

Why does galea seem to be able to walk back into the team?

The post topic was about horne gettin back in the team, i dont think he will play at 7 for a while now miller has arrived

Miller did enough to suggest he could be the scrum half we've been searching for.
Good problem to have though, considering we've had a combination of hookers and back rowers at half back in the last few seasons.

Of course we should stick with Holdsworth and Miller.

Its a no brainer as far as I'm concerned. Miller and Holdsworth must start together and we need to get Danny Tickle back instead of Galea.

We've needed a settled HB partnership for years. It'd be potty to start chopping and changing now we've (hopefully) got one. Fingers crossed Holdsworth and Miller will be together for the next two and a half seasons maybe longer.

So Horne is having one of his best seasons in years and possibly is the player of the season so far and gets injured then you all clammer all over yourself to basically bin him in favour of some 20 year old rookie aussie who had a completely average debut and may not even make it as a quality SL half back? Well i think you all dont have a clue. Miller should be back up for this season at least till he finds his feet and confidence and possibly even next season too imo. THe Horne/Holdsworth partnership is the best weve seen in years and should be given time to blossom even further and if anyone should make way for Miller in the future its Holdsworth. Remember no team has ever acheived anything in SL with an all aussie half back team
