I thought Thorman went okay, first half he struggled but our forwards were making no yardage, second half he looked much better when we were going forward.
We tried R.Horne at FB a few seasons ago and his game was pretty much the same as it is now but with a slow ball return.
For me he is an out and out 6. The main problem as i've raved on about time and time again is you can't expect players to create when their team mates don't give them options. With space to move Richard Horne is one of the most devastating Stand Offs in this country.
Once we stop playing with an acting half back, two distributers and 10 props we might get to see some effective plays.

in my opinion thorman is a gonna at the end of the season...he has been signed as a stop-gap....his ball in hand is not that great but his kicking game is ok, better than what we had last year, unless dykes was playing...we need an organiser and thorman isnt the answer to our problems im afraid...cant see us signing anyone from the uk, due to the fact athat there aint that many good 7's who are available....so its down under we go, hopefully signing someone with quality...any thoughts on half-back signings??? realistic ones only though please...as we aint going to be signing lockyer,marshall,cronk,thurston,kimmorley.....

I really hope so. He is useless with ball in hand and his kicking game is very hit and miss.

I think your assessment of Thorman is probably a fair one. I still would like to see a few more games with him developing his partnership with Horne behind a team that isn't coughing up the ball so easily before I can fully agree though. I also agree with another poster who said that Horne and Thorman are playing left and right side of field which makes that partnership harder to develop - so maybe I won't see any improvement there after all.
