Dorn's support play is brilliant, he could score a fair few tries for you set up by Pryce, Eastmond and Roby.

We don't need Luke Dorn. Quins do. I hope he stays where he is. Likewise for LMS. I don't know why we keep getting linked with Quins players.

Re: Rumours thread. : Mon Aug 23, 2010 9:13 pm  

I like him, always have, think he is a good player.

Re: Rumours thread. : Mon Aug 23, 2010 9:52 pm  

Luke Dorn?

Average player, wouldn't be that bad a signing if English, but would be a waste of a quota spot. I'd not play him anywhere bar full back though, and I'd prefer Wellens and Lomax before him.

Agreed, not good enough for a top side, IMO.

Luke frickin dorn??? are you all mad? he's average at best, looks ok in a woeful side.
We have 2x hookers next year
we have infinite options in the backline with soliola (yes he'll probably play back row) and shenton added to the lads who have got us to 2nd this year!
Wello has at LEAST another year at fullback, and Lomax is looking like he could take on the mantle.
we also have foster, wheeler, armstrong who can fill in at centre or wing.
We definitely do not need to waste a quota spot on Dorn!

Do we have a quota spot free next year?

My thoughts exactly. I like Dorn and he's had some excellent performances against us - but he's not the sort of overseas player we should be signing.

The likes of Ellis/Gaskell/Lomax/Wheeler should be in before the likes of Luke Dorn.

depends alot on flannery and Meli i suppose, id rather keep both of those ove Dorn though!
I really have been impressed with meli at centre, he seems more natural there, let foster or lomax feild kicks outside him, and he can tackle bigger men on that wing, he had freakin Matt King swapping sides to avoid going up against him!
