Thorman : Mon Jul 20, 2009 4:27 pm  

Rugby papers have you interested in Thorman today, what do you think of that? McBanana obviously rates him from his days with the Giants. Straight replacement for Jeffries by the sound of it who looks Crusaders bound.

I say again.

If he's coming in to create competition, I welcome it.

If he's coming in as first choice, we're going backwards yet again.

Well he blows a bit hot and cold, doesn't he? When he's good he really is good, when he's bad..well, you know the rest....

Question is : do we need more inconsistent underachieving players?

Backup for Brough and Deacon?

I think if McNamara reckons Thorman is the answer to our problems then he is more deluded then I had realised. I'd take him as a back up/squad player but he shouldn't be a 1st choice halfback. If we're letting BJ go, then surely we should be trying to recruit someone who is better?

We certainly don't need more weak defenders...

most of reports I've seen have said thorman would be coming as cover - not as a starting player, which I'd have no real problem with provided we get some real quality for the starting berth. days when you could go into a season with only two halves are long gone imo and jeffries going,deacon injury prone and no one ready to step up from academy level we'll need some cover next year.

Jebus.

He's been nothing short of woeful for Hull FC this season. The fans will probably pay Bradford to take him on!

He wasn't at Odsal, he was outstanding.

(and before anyone says, yes, i know that was just one match)

A lot of visiting players look outstanding at Odsal
