Nowt to do with Agar. If Long had stayed fit you wouldn't have seen him play SH for the last two seasons.

it wasnt a dig at agar and i do like horne,i just think going right back to when mcrae was here last time,succesive coaches have tried to make horne a makeshift scrum half with a kicking game and its never worked.

I still think he is better than Horne, that is where I am coming from.

At 7, neither are good enough/suitable. At 6, Horne still has some question marks for me. I'm quite certain that Obst is not good enough though. He's an enthusiastic dummy half runner, no more, no less.

Looks pretty good to me. Another experienced back rower in there would make the pack stronger, which we will hopefully get.

So as it stands we have 4 props and 3 back rowers with 1st team experience. Doesn't sound like plenty of options to me

How are they supposed to gain 1st team experience if we don't trust them to show us what they can offer?
