Horne brothers relishing Super League duel as Hull and Huddersfield Giants go head-to-head

“For starters, I’m sure that under Nathan Brown and with the quality of players we’ve got here, we can have great season.

“I think we put down a pretty strong marker against Bradford last Friday.

“But with the signings Hull have made, they should have a much better season, too.

“That points to this game tomorrow being a fantastic occasion.”

That’s a view shared by brother Richard, who believes the move to the Giants is just what Graeme needed.

“I honestly think it will be the making of Graeme,” said the 27-year-old Richard.

“He had been on the fringes at Hull for such a long time and I think a new set-up is a great opportunity for him to show his own talent.

“Don’t get me wrong, I liked having my brother around. Going to work with your brother every day is a privilege, but for his career I think his move to Huddersfield is very positive.

“He was disappointed and upset when he was told he wasn’t getting a new deal at Hull, but then that’s the nature of sport.

“He had calls from a couple of clubs, but when Huddersfield came in for him he got very excited.

“Huddersfield are a team who have progressed really well over the last couple of years and are one of those clubs who look like they could break that top-four monopoly.

“Graeme has been really impressed with Nathan Brown and the coaching staff and feels he will improve as a player working with them.”
