Until Wigan want him back really. Which could be soon with Tommy L missing now. Think he's 2 games in to his extra month.

Oh yes forgot about Tommy L injury, could have done to hang on to him really at least until we get Houghton back.

He was exceptional under the high ball today and looked like he was close to breaking through their line plenty of times but even got grabbed last ditch or slipped over which he did a load of times.

Another month.

What I don't fully get here is, that it has been reported that Horney has been pencilled in as next year’s full back, so why isn't he playing there now? Instead we are using another club's asset at the expense of our own gaining more game time in a position he is expected to make his own!! Surely the benefit to us as team would be to have Horne playing as many minutes as he can there.

I agree. The longer it goes on, the more doubts creep in that Horne will be our fullback next year after all. If Horne doesn't move to fullback once Heremaia has a few games under his belt it will be very questionable IMO.

Said this a few weeks ago.

Because we don't yet have a decent replacement at 6, and since Houghton's injury he's our best option to spell Heremaia at 9?
