Thorman was a great player, even a couple of years ago. Unfortunately he has played for two teams whose fans seem to be made up almost entirely of negative, abusive morons. I would be very surprised if anyone could perform given the amount of unfounded abuse Thorman has got over the last few seasons.

take him please

To pick just one example, Thomas Lee. As a teenager he was taking at least as much abuse, to the extent that his name was being booed when the teams were read out. He had enough bottle to continue through it though and the majority of idiots in the crowd now seem to realise that he's not a bad player.

Thorman, on the other hand, is terrible. It's the lack of effort, particularly in defence, that is the worst thing. I can accept a lack of skill/ability in players, but when someone is pulling out of tackling, not putting themselves in the line of fire for the team, that's going too far.

I've never rated him as a player (a couple of decent games over a long career at the top level is not enough) and couldn't believe we signed him after his terrible showings last year in particular, but I've never seen him be so unwilling to put his body on the line. That's not something that has a place in the game and hopefully we've seen the last of him at Hull now.

Can't think of a worse 40 minutes ever from a player than Thorman first half tonight.

Thorman was awful tonight, didnt even appear interested

Sounds like a player John Kear usually takes on, low on confidence but has ability, and if he keepsplaying like that he will be cheap enough so they can afford him

Was unbelievably poor for the Webb and Ablett tries.

you're obviously not aware he has TWO brothers playing professionally

Used to be half-decent when he played for Broncos, years ago that was now though

Broncos. Half-decent. Years ago.

Does not compute.

Hmmm ...

It's not often you see a defending player side-step an attacker

He only played 11 games at Parramatta and a couple of them was at Hooker they lost 9 of those 11.

Agreed but he shouldnt let that get in the way, its unfortunate but he is a well played proffessional player. Although I agree he doesnt deserve the abuse he gets.
