Bit like the question why would Agar sign Thorman..

[quote="UllFC"]i disagree, he's slow and poor in defence yes...but so is Thorman

but Webster can kick and organize a lot better than Thorman

i don't see how we have much to lose, he has a British passport and won't cost that much either.[/quote]

Yeah I agree with what your saying. However what would be the point in signing Webster again? We need to sign a top class scrum-half for next season, not another average one. Even if he is better than Thorman, he's no superstar and certainly isnt of the quality we require. Even if it was a short-term contract to the end of the season, again what's the point? He may offer us abit more than Thorman.... erm and thats it. Think everyone's come to terms with the fact that we arent going to be challenging for any honours this season, and the best we can hope for is a play-off finish, therefore im happy for us to stick with Thorman FOR NOW. Season finises = bye bye Thorman, hello top class scrum-half (hopefully) I just think signing James Webster would be even more pointless than signing him last season in all honesty. At the end of the day this rumour probably won't come to anything, however if we were to sign him for 2 years I would be thoroughly dissapointed.

If this is true that we have signed him for 2yrs it still dosen't mean we can't bring a top class half back in for next season. Personally think we need to bring in a 6 and 7 for next season and leave Richard Horne at fullback.

And no way would I stick with Thorman the bloke just simply isn't producing the goods, No matter if we have signed Webster or not I think he needs dropping.

if we sign him for 2 years I'd be very annoyed...because as you say we need a top class no7 for 2010.

but for the rest of the season he would at least give some competition at no7 and hopefully make Thorman up his game. I think he is by far our worst player at the moment, we could have played with 12men against Cas and you wouldn't have noticed the difference because he's been so ineffective lately.

He also seems keen to be a coach so could help out with some of the younger players development.

Never said you did

Can't understand why we signed him in the first place when he couldn't even keep his place as halfback at Huddersfield
