Do you seriously think he is the way to take our club forward at this time?

He is an able solution to what we have to work with until the young lads are ready to step up or until a better replacement can be found/signed.

I think the op is just having a temper tantrum, seeing as we failed to sign world class sixes that are llining up to come to the uk, he needs someone to blam



Up until his injury at magic, richard horne was playing his best rugby for years! Was even one of thedform halves in the league at the time

Wasting your breath, he's from Hull. Ergo his position is unassailable. If he was Aussie, he'd be hounded out. Yeamans the same.



Short bursts of good form are not enough. But the LOCAL brigade love them.

This is the Hull Daily Mail comments section and I claim my £5.

Which other SL team with top 8 aspirations would pick Horne at halfback? Not many.......



The sad thing is hes the best we've got. Wonder what odds I'll get for Hull not kicking a 40/20 for the entire 2014 season!

Azza got 2 last year, Horney 1, Houghton 1. And we're bringing in a new half too.

Not that the squad numbers mean a thing anyway to be fair, especially this season it looks more "political" to me rather then an actual statement of intent, Lineham will not play left wing for example.



That said though, if Horne and Miller are our first choice 6 and 7, I really worry about our long range kicking game, both can put neat little attacking kicks but I think are lacking in this department, and arguably the most important attribute for a modern halfback, remember how poor we were in this department in the Agar days, think this was something we improved greatly under Gentle.

It's only a number.

It doesn't gaurantee him a starting spot but based on last year's form I'd say he deserves it.

Also based on yours and Diablo's theory does that mean that azza gets no where near the first team as he will have 33 on his back.

Another cost cutting exercise!

Of course. You've been the dominant force in the city for the last 2 years (as per your sig), so we've thrown the towel in.

You probably won't appreciate the irony, but that's Standee's favourite comeback when losing an argument about a player. It doesn't wash when he uses it either - not least because I don't come from Hull and neither do a few others who post on here.



And Horne is hardly unassailable in any case. He regularly comes in for criticism.



And finally - I've been a critic of Yeaman for years. As have a few others.



Any other 'arguments' you'd like me to blow holes in?
