if we'd gone for thorman say 5 years ago then i'd be quite happy with that.

as it is, he seems another bargin basement barrel scraping signing

burgess is being sold to finance wing/myler deals

tbh provided burgess was going to NRL club and not a SL one then I would be reasonably happy with that deal. Would go a long way toward sorting our biggest weakness in backline, with deacon as backup and to pass experience on to myler. Myler going on to be our half for a good few years and give us some stability in a key role. Burgess whilst a big loss plays in a position where we have a lot of homefrown strength coming through the ranks with whitehead and donaldson not looking that far off regular first team spots.

I used to like Thorman when he was at the Broncos, and got called up for Yorkshire, but its all gone down hill for him since and i would not sign him for us.

I Agree with mat. We should let Burgess go to the NRL and use the funds to go towards someone like Wing, Myler or Brough. We have some good young forwards coming through, and James Donaldson sounds like a superstar in the making already for Loose Forward.

OOC at end of season, hope he re-signs.

would think he's a priority if not already signed, if not why would we be putting him in shop window by playing him in first team?

given anti-tampering deadline is fast approaching I'd be surprised if deals havent been agreed with all OOC players we plan on retaining. We're just holding back releasing news so we have positive PR to release at appropriate times.
