If you look at our squad signed for next season we have no back up at full back, centre (barring Crooks) and Half.

He maybe well paid for 'cover' but I could see us doing that.

People need to remember that a large part (25%?) of Horne's wage is wrote off the salary cap due to the length of time he has been here,

So in terms of the cap he will not be that expensive, plus I imagine that his last contract was on reduced terms due to his injuries

You can have 50k off players wages who have been at the club for 10 season at a max of 50% per player.

If Yeamans on 100k we wouldn't need Horne for the saving.

For the first 2-3 months of the season I thought McDonnell was awful, but has looked better over the last month. Would have hoped for better and even been willing to wait until next year (especially if it does mean we don’t get another halfback), but there simply don’t seem to be any decent fullbacks available so he’ll still probably be one of the better fullbacks in SL next season.

Wonder what the chances of Horne being offered a coaching role are?

Exactly my take on it. Maybe why we initially said he wasn't a target and now we've seen what he can play like when he hits a bit of form.

Hope we offer Geoffrey Luxon a deal

I mentioned it on a previous rumours thread both Lovegrove and Mcdonnell had signed for us.

So a Rovers fan at work told me after hearing one of Phil Lowe's pals talking about it.

Still think we will sign a new 6. Horney will still play a fair few games covering the halves and FB. It's how Whiting has made his name.

You must have missed it then, it was on her and twitter a few weeks back. I got told we had offered him a deal. Bomber actually came out denied the link and said it wasn't happening.
