Graeme Horne - Make or Break. : Tue Mar 03, 2009 2:55 am  

"This year is the same and I think it is going to be make-or-break for me." http://www.sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league ... p?ID=11376 how has he started? i've only seen the super league high lights, thought his pass for calderwoods try was superb, so i dont really know how hes progressing in the centres.

Not good enough IMO. Isn't good enough to be 1st choice centre, isn't versatile enough to be cover in the backs and is so far down the pecking order in the back row that he won't (shouldn't) get a look in. Needs to move on IMO

Started the season pretty well IMO and looks comfortable at centre. I think there's good things to come from Greame as he plays in a regular position and builds his confidence. Don't forget he's playing outside a new half back pairing and inside a new winger, I'd like him to realise his potential.

All depends on how much of a contract he is on. If its only a small contract he is defo worth keeping as cover. I still think he has a lot of improvement in him and will do well at/for the club. He's still only a young lad and given a good run could easily become a first choice centre. A much better option than signing someone like Todd Byrne as a centre IMO

I Think thats a bit unfair, if you compare the two centres on the first three games G Horne has played a lot better than Yeamo.

Yeaman is a proven international centre with a good try scoring record. He's suffering from a lack of service. g horne is suffering from a lack of ability

I think that says more about the state of British RL then Yeamans ability. Not saying he hasn't deserved his international caps but let's face it, he hasn't had much competition.

Agree, but Yeamo is getting some un needed stick here IMO. He has started the season a lot better that some think, he tops our clean breaks etc.

G Horne has had one good game and 2 OK games IMO. Just enough to hold onto the shirt currently.

If Motu gets back playing then Horne will be under presure from Hall, right now there is not so much pressure on him. When Raynor/Whiting also come back that could also bring pressure but right now they all seem to be playing well.

Pressure from himself??

Presume you mean from Hall?
