He had his major injuries when he was young though - like the facial reconstruction a certain nasty player gave him (who still gets booed to this day at KR ).

Ah I remember that. That's when his own teammate knocked him from behind and sent him flying forward into the accused's elbow/forearm. It was also clear on the replay that it wouldn't have happened had that teammate not knocked into him. Of course that bit tends to get forgotten......

Who was it again?

Thorman's performance against us has been the best I've seen at Odsal so far this season.

That said he is very inconsistent, which probably makes him the ideal MacNamara signing.

I don't think the club's decision is really based upon Long as such. We're about to lose a few of our key players. We need to manage that and where possible our young players brought into the first grade this season will be trained up to fill those positions. It's more about the transition of the club into the Saints of the future than the ability of Long.

Be careful if you are going through a rebuilding phase.

Can't believe nobody's said it yet. Well here goes. Wonder what odds you could have got on that. Sorry.

Long is past it anyway. But I fear Saints may now gazump us and sign Dobson or Brough

Orford is never going to leave Manly.

Why do you hope not?

I'm guessing it's his off-field antics, but on the field he is one of the best SH's in the league, wouldn't count on quota and his kicking game is brilliant.

What about when he retires?
