Burnett and G. Horne ...... it's about keeping things fresh and different.

Isnt it about winning? Why would Hall make it fresher than G Horne? G Horne played very well on Friday, there is no chance Agar will drop him.

G.Horne to drop to the bench....its about playing your opponents and both Hall and Houghton would bring some speed into the team and exploit Celtics slowness.

G Horne showed plenty of pace v Wigan and could have bagged 2 tries had their outside backs not been very quick. Dont think Celtic have the same outside back speed as Wigan. G Horne to stay for me.

Houghton on the other hand i would like to see on the bench, Burnett is the likely candidate to drop out.

Nice options to have.

Well thats where we beg to differ.........Reckon Hall would have got the tries as he is a damn sight faster..........I like my centres to score...but if you like yours as steady then fair enough.

I like mine to be good with ball in hand and good defensively. Graeme Horne hasnt done anything to let the side down and has looked very exciting going forwards. His defence is also a huge positive. I agree that Craig Hall is faster and will probably score more tries given the opportunities but he may also cost us games with his poor defence and positional play.
Whilst we are winning it would be difficult to justify dropping anyone tbh.

Roberts is one of the fastest men playing the game. Richards is very quick when given open field. Carmont is the only one out of that 5 that i would class to not be extremely pacey.
