Would Folau's brother be like Horne's brother? Or Kirk(?) Netherton?
Moi Moi would be good for novelty value. Has he been any good this year?

And David Gower was better in the 70's and 80s to my mind. Still remember that 200 v India

Not sure what your point is here. Horne's brother as you describe him made great improvements after moving to Hudds. This year had been more consistent than any of your second row. Even the fabled Ellis. Kirk Netherton is not a brother but a cousin.

G Horne more consistent than Ellis, are you having a laugh, Ellis has been excellent in ever game this season, Horne is a solid SL player, who now and again has a great game, exactly the same as he was at Hull, thats why Hudds and Hull were happy to release him, not a bad squad player, but we have young cheaper player like Hadley who do as good or a better job than him.


I won't embarrass you with the Eliis v's Horne stats.

A centre must be our priority, unless a top line breaking backrow becomes available.

With the news that Arundel will be here next year I'm wondering if they've failed to secure any of their centre targets.

That would be just our luck !!

Arundel won't be here, we will find a way of getting rid of him.

He's not returning by Hull's choice. The HDM says Hull could be "stuck with a player who is not in their plans". Arundel doesn't sound too sure as he told the Bradford T&A "At this moment in time I think I'm going back to Hull".

The best hope is that someone else comes in for him although as one of our top earners (according to the Mail) he'd presumably have to accept a pay cut to move elsewhere.

It's a shame he's on a silly contract. He's been stitched up a bit although I'm sure he's not complaining about the financial side of it.

If we really don't rate him then I can see us paying his wages to play somewhere else. Cue discussion about the cap implications of that. Go.
