We need a player who can move a side around and bark the orders out. Thorman isnt that player and neither is Horne . To many players are waiting for something to happen rather than making something happen. Our handling side of the game is a joke.

Ah, that'll be Dobson, Or Robinson. All we have for that is Tommy Lee

The lack of an effective attacking game plan is the killer for us. it's not just Thorman inabilitites. If we had structures in place to run angles, have dummy runners, a deep attacking line that would allow Thorman and Horne to be a little more creative and give them OPTIONS. In addition a ball playing 13 is a must for me...either Washy or Whiting, this will give us some extra attacking threat.

The problem we have is we have none of the above, we are flat and look disinterested, this then means Thorman has to use what skills he has to be creative, which in effect means he doesn't create much as he doesn't possess the levels of skill.

I live in hope that the club have a major signing for 2010 to play scrum half......i doubt it very much though.

Horne wasn't great yesterday, but he was streets ahead of Thorman.

He's rubbish, can't organise anything, poor decision maker, slow as ferk and kicking game isn't what it was built up to be.

I'd rather see lee at 7 (and that is saying something)

Discuss

He is also about to sign a contract extension so better get used to him.

Hornes passing to his right is terrible . How many times must he pass behind a player or straight to ground ?

It was his pass to Hall that resulted in Rovers 3rd try

In terms of creating things he wasn't. He runs it orite but has no creativity.
