Hornby keen to mak 1/2 his position

Just finished reading a small snap shot in RLW that had Hornby quoted as saying he wants to make the No.7 his position.

Thoughts?

why not?

head has secured barrett's mantle of tampon.

Sadly, so true.

Head has alot more tricks up his sleeve than Hornby. Has set up and scored some great tries when we needed to e.g against Roosters a couple of years ago with his chip and chase and then long pass to Coops to score in the dying seconds.

Hornby is very reliable and will still do a good job but is a fantastic fullback. Because of his versatility and Heads injuries Hornby has not had a chance to play as much fullback.

If they put Hornby at 1/2 then Dragons may loose Head and he is one player who would definately come back and hurt them just like Millard will this year.

I'd rather see him at 5/8, keeping Head at halfback and one of the younger players at fullback.

Team psychologist would have been in Hornbys ear about attitude Head is in the same position Gasnier was three years ago

Emelio Phelps and Millard are all fighting for a centre spot this year though none of them will be there long term Centres are difficult to find for most clubs and thats why they paid way over the odds

Why would you want Millard over players like Wes Naiqama Josh Morris Chase Stanley and money for other positions :?

Holdsworth got the same press when we have three five eighths that are better
