A Real 7 : Fri Apr 10, 2009 5:16 pm  

As much as i would like to i will not jump on the "Agar Out" bandwagon. We have a decent squad and SOME talented individuals. What we lack is organisation on the field! We were beaten today not by a better skilled side, but a better organised side ( and FWIW Dobson was avearge at best).
Thorman is never a super league 7 and it showed today as we had to shift him to FB in desperation! It's about time the club re payed the loyal and long suffering faithful with the commitment we show and spend some cash on a real 7 not another forward! We have been screaming out for a 7 since Tony Smith retired FFS!! Look what we managed to achieve last season with a one legged scrum half for a few games.

I'd go as dramatic as saying i don't mind if we release everyone who is out of contract this season to make a no7 our highest earner, we've got to offer some serious money to a top class organiser who isn't ready for his bus pass like Dykes was.

thorman is that good at scrum half even huddersfield noticed how good he was last year by playing him at full back all season


Rubbish, isnt the word

get a grip james rule and sod off back to oz and this time come back with a signature of a class half.

We could have had Peter Sterling in his heyday today and it still wouldn't have made any difference.

It won't make any difference until the players show the effort and determination needed to succeed. Lack of motivation is the biggest problem.

as I said in another thread, in 2007 we went and got Berigans signiture, in 2008 Crockers...both fantastic players, but neither were as crucial as replacing Cooke (and then Dykes)

i disgaree entirely! we only lost by 4 points! a decent halfback would have made all the difference. Stick Cooke or Dobson in Hull's side today and the game would have gone the other way due to their better kicking game alone.
