people make me laugh on here who slag him off saying he was not worth a contract , yet again he is putting the team first before his body he has a hernia the size of a golf ball and yet he plays on because the team would not have a playmaker and he has put the op off till the end of the season

We aim to please.

Term used loosely!



Yes Horne played well on Friday buthis performances this year and few before have not warranted another 2 year deal. He should be used as a utility player next season thats all. We need a playmaker on the pitch who can kick the ball into space!

Hornes had his time and a 2 year deal was too much. He should also be back up from now on. Would much rather go with Obst/Ellis and Seymour in the halves.

Would have given Horne the right centre spot next year if Gleeson doesn't come back.



Ellis and Seymour in the halves, Obst first reserve as he won't get a look in at hooker,



Nicklas,Williams and McGlame are at the age were they all need a game sometime too so its going to be hard to accomodate everyone.

I think Obst will move to another club.

I completely agree with the original poster. It staggers me that a fairly large minority (if not a majority) of posters on here cannot see the value Richard Horne brings to the team. He's been an ever present this year, has IMO consistently been one of our better players, and all sentimentality aside was fully deserving of a new 2 year contract. I am looking forward to seeing Seymour and Horne as our starting halves next season.

He has





His target for his kicks on friday were clearly the fullbacks yellow boots, he got his target every time

Don't agree with that at all. For a stand off, Horney is one of the least skillful 6's in the league.

tbf in the first half both horne and westerman found the catalans fullback everytime, due to both wingers also dropping back on the 5th, in the second half kicking earlier in the tackle they found gaps

His natural position is at fullback (inmho).

indeed, or centre, or lose forward, he's never been a 6 (certainly not a 6 that will win games on their own)

Seymour and Heremaia will get us round the pitch next year.



Horne will be our 6, injury permitting.

It would be better for the team if he was just left out of it all together. Certainly won't be disappointed when he's not in the team.
