In which case could Horne make that move to FB and play Witt and Thorman in the halves?

After spending the close season working on their partnership why would the club want to split them up just as ists starting to develop, if Byrne and Tony are out for the season as some would suggest maybe we need to look for a full back replacement and not a half back

Could Horne play looseforward? Most stand offs tend to play as locks as well, Sculthorpe, Cooke, Murrell, Sinfield, Bird, to name a few, but I don't think I've ever thought of Horne as a looseman.

Don't jump down my throat is only a question?

All of them are 13's and not 6's barring Cooke, I don't think any of them would be as good at play SO as they are lock.

Its an option that we see as fans but whether or not Agar/Horne would want him at FB is another matter? I have never heard either of them mention it tbh.

Its an option I guess although he would probably need to put on a little more weight.

Mcrae used to say it a lot that FB would be Horne's perfect position

Yup, and looking how dangerous Horne is running with ball in hand and coming into the line whenever he wants anywhere on the pitch could be devastating.

Still, im happy with what we have.

But his opinion counts for nothing now. Does Horne even want to play FB? Does Agar want Horne to play FB? These are the important questions and my guess is the answers to both would be no.

I would of said yes, before he went on the unplanned slimfast plan last year.

Think 6 or 1 are his best bets now
