Danny Sculthorpe......the plot thickens. Well, if he does come down here he'll be happy that the beer costs less than £266 a can

Danny Sculthorpe is available at the end of the season (if not before).....he played well on Sunday against us. Could he do a job for us? If he has aspirations about playing for England he may well try to get a club up north, but Brian Mac has already got LMS picked.....
I'd take him on a 1 year contract
STATS:

Personally i wouldn't want him, bad attitude imo.
Seems quite injury prone and not generally fit.

Danny S - he has a badger on his head and is usually injured!!!!

Might be a bit unfair PP

He did play 25 SL games in 2008 which is pretty good for a Prop. In 2009 he missed the first 3 rounds, played the next 5 and then missed 2

So all in all has missed 7 games in the last 40 games played by Wakefield

Crikey that would make some of our props basket cases when it comes to injury

If I was to offload two it would be Dorn and Heckenberg. How long are people going to go on defending Dorn? Another terrible performance against Wakefield, you couldn't even call him a flat track bully as when he gets a flat track he's been useless then too.

i despair..........................................

do you actually watch games or just allow your prejudice to determine your thinking irrespective of what you see? Did you watch dorn on Sunday? Or Heckenberg?

If history repeats itself, he'd agree to join us then sign for Wigan instead.

Sculthorpes offloading game is an attraction, but I'm not sure he's a team player and that's what I think is making us a better side this year.

Eh? You accuse me of having a prejudice to determine what I'm thinking irrespective of what I see, yet what has Luke Dorn actually done all season? Some people are still desperate to praise him because he's a nice bloke and has been around for quite a few years. On Sunday he did nothing, as usual. I don't recall a standout performance all season. I'm not the only person that thinks this either but no doubt you'll get on my back because I had the nerve of suggesting that he might not be good enough for us in the first place.
At least he doesn't make any errors but he is adding nothing to our team.

Heckenberg's injury problems have been well documented and we can't afford to keep hold of a player who is missing matches on a regular basis. Nothing to do with his performances as he is certainally part of our first choice front row.

Apart from the tries he's got (including another one on Sunday) what has Luke Dorn ever done for us?? (apologies to Monty Python's Life of Brian!)
