Hooray!!!

In the Craig Wing article on the T&A site it says that Macnamara has strongly denied any interest in Thorman and that Brough could be a target for the bulls.

It does look like they realise the need for a classy half back hence the reason Jefferies is probably going and they are moving to spend some cash.

Also with regards to the much lamented backline don't forget we've not been able to see Crookes this season.

Yes, it will almost be like having a new player next season. If Crookes can get a good pre-season under his belt and come out firing at the start of next season it will interesting to see what he can bring to the team...

I think he's just had a bad season, still probably one of the best play makers in the game. I'd love to see him partner Paul Deacon in the halves for 2010, finally we may be able to mount a challenge for the title again!

That's an interesting first post. I suspect many on here will be hoping that's a wind-up, and not a clandestine club post to prime us for what's to come next season? I must admit it would be hard for me to get excited about that combination, to put it mildly.

Yes an interesting first post from Mr Turner

That said, it is nonetheless true that Thorman has had a bit of a mare this season, apart from when Hull played us and he was excellent...grrrr!! But we need to remember that he actually was a decent player a couple of years ago at Huddersfield, and - if I remember right - was on the fringes or even part of the International set up.

If - and it is a massive 'if' - he can recapture that form...well.. who knows??

Why would Brough go to a club that is worst than the one he is already at? It would be a backwards step for him!
