Why
I would.
Thorman cant run, cant tackle, cant pass, and if he does its to the opposition wingers, he can kick very well though, sometimes.
Brown, can run, can tackle, occaisionally passes well, but cant kick too well, he can also break a tackle and go through a gap, something Thorman hasnt done in the 2 years previous.
Given that Brown was behind a beaten pack on friday, and Thorman was behind a winning pack, Brown looked better imo.

You may not like Thorman but making statements like that undermine your case.
If Friday was anything to go by Brett Hodgson cannot tackle, does not know when to pass the ball or keep it and cannot kick goals would it be ok to get rid of him.
Thorman is a good passer and his tackling was Ok. he won us more games than he lost for us and there are not that many players we can say that about. he set up two tries for Hull so he must have done something right. thorman had strengths and weaknesses as do most players. What is important is how the indavidual players come together to make a team.
Hulls half backs had more balance and complementing skills than did ours..
i was going to stop joining in this debate about Thorman but if everyone else keeps slagging him off unfairly i may have to break that promise.
I wish we had kept Thorman for another season and given Brown time to pick , choose and mould his own players. We will see how well Brown and Robbo are at the end of ths season.
