The phrase "40 foot barge pole" comes to mind with him.

Looks like he has found his level at York... www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/484615 ... _Thackray/

Heard he's about to sign for York.

During "one" of his troubled spells at Hull, he was dropped from the first team and played in Hull reserve team at Orrell v Wigan.

I have never seen a more abject disinterested performance from so called professional player.
As a few have stated on here, there are good reasons why clubs have tried him and got rid.

Stay well clear.

Couldn't think of a word that describes him worse! He's an error machine and just isn't a good player anymore.

I'd still like to hope if a tough, aggressive prop forward becomes available we'll be in for them but Thackray isn't that man.

no , no , and no

No chance, I honestly would rather have O'Carroll, Prescott, Mossop and Davies playing before him, absolute no chance, maybe in 2004 might have signed him but not now, plus isn't he only small?

I doubt he could get a game for Pats TBH.

I guess from the previous posts we are not signing him then

Don't remember him doing anything before or after that big season he had in 2005, Fielden was good then too. We don't need his off field problems either. It says something about him that Hull F.C have released him even though they finished 12th last season. Stay well clear.

He is not the player he was in his season at Cas and first one in Leeds. He caused trouble at Cas, Leeds and Hull, all major dressing room bust ups as well as his off field antics.

Not a cat in Hells chance chould we go anywhere near him, in my opinion we have removing all his baggage he would not be worth a place in our squad simply basing it on performance.

Any SL club would be stupid to give him yet another chance! I wouldn't have him back at Hull if he played for free. There's a reason he's been playing amateur union.

A thousand times no! The guy is an absolute nuisance.

Yeah, he's shi'ite!

I reckon that maybe, just maybe, Paul King could have done a short term job for us (he's now gone to Wakey). But Thackey - no thanks.

Signed for Crusaders...
