So the fans like him.

However the proof is in the pudding.

Lower placed finish in an inferior league says enough for me.

Even if it is Thorman who we all have a soft spot for.

Indeed - and with players and coach like those you mention - we wouldn't go far wrong!

Can't remember seeing Lionel cooper play but anyone who saw Murphy play would never forget him, even allowing for the difference in style of game, he was the best English Halfback i ever saw play the game and i was a big fan of Cas in those days who had the likes of Hardisty.

Regards Thorman , I don't think he got a particularly fair deal on the face of it, But like i was told when i mentioned Brough recently, Thorman is gone Move on.

No announcement from the club re a replacement, we will likely need someone else as we are running an extra team this year.
