course it matters we needed someone to partner horne so agar got thorman on a 1 year deal which i think is a good move,if he has a good season then he will get another deal if not then he goes,who else would partner horne all next season

So Thorman could be our world class 7 signing in 2010.

I actually forgot about Monaghan but i think us missing out on him was more to do with us not been able to match the spending power of Wire.

I also remember Sharp talking about Jamie Soward who would have done well in super league.

We probably shouldnt have publicly made such a play for a scrum half cos I am sure we ended up paying over the odds either way.

Correct and tbh,he wasnt much cop was he.

Wire could sign Lockyer and all of their plays would still go through Briers. Monaghan is alot better player than he has shown in SL where he simply seems to pass to Briers.

fair point mate.

you just seem very negative thats all,give agar and the lads a chance.a ball has even been kicked yet,i just think agar and sharp will prove many supporters wrong,your entitled to your opinions.

(before I start, I know this wasnt aimed at me)
I think this is the first time where I have been negative at all, especially this negative, since I have been supporting the club. But just because I am negative it doesn't mean I'm not giving Agar a chance. I'm not saying Agar should be out etc. Despite what I think of the recruitment and what Agar has done so far, I'm going to give him time before I judge him fully, and I'll back whatever player takes the field for us. I want them all to prove me wrong. But I don't think that doesnt mean I can't be negative at the moment

Horne, while 7 isn't his best position, has proved he can play at 7 more than Thorman has proved he can. Thorman has started 5 games at 7 since coming back from Aus for the 2005 season, so not sure how you can use that arguement. Plus, Agar played Radford at 13 a lot last year and imo that really is a crap position for him.
And saying you will trust him. Well you have just slagged off the signing of Dykes, would you say that Sharp was right in signing him? Or would you stick to your opinion on the player as one of the people in the crowd?

Agree on that.....would have had washy there all last season tbh.Sharps signings were very questionable....Cusack apart who i highly rate.

Well he was in the crowd more than not wasnt he.

We also need a prop or 2 desperately, and a centre. So why hasn't Agar gone out and signed them? I bet he could get them if he tried hard enough But its because he says he's waiting for the right man. And I can't see how he would think Thorman is the right man to take us back up into the top 4
