| I know nothing of Thornley apart from at last years shareholder meeting Mr Lenegan said that he didnt regret losing most players, he only regretted ever losing two, and one of them was Thornley.
Sounds promising to me  |

Perpetuating and revelling in that myth - that Union players are somehow superior intellectually to our lads - is one of the main reasons why our sport has stagnated. |

| Quote: Wigan Peer "You make an excellent point when mentioning the Cap. IL and SW seem to be being very shrewd with the progress and decisions being made behind the scenes. I'm sure they still have a good relationship with Madge, and will be drawing on that too. Nothing is perfect, and i'm sure people will find fault with my comment. But overall we are going in the right direction.'"
Very strange that you say this, considering we all know Madge is an ultimate professional. I think he'd rather concentrate on Souths than to advise us on players, or even put in a good word for us on other certain players |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

I'm sure he is, but we all network. |

I do not think it is a coincidence that Sean Wane has been talking about Eddie Pettybourne recently and his potential availability, one of Souths strike forwards as a possible target for 2013. |

In relation to Thornley, what I have seen recently which admittedly is not very much is the fact there is potential for him to really add some size. He is a tall yet fairly lean lad, and if handled correctly by our conditioning staff, of which I have no doubt he will not be, the possibility to bulk him without damaging his athleticism.
In Gelling and Thornley we have potential to have 2 huge strike backs in the team for a long time to come.

Great news, I was very disappointed when he left, I always rated him higher than Marsh in the reserves, and he always struck up a great partnership with King and/or Russell (when Veivers was our first choice fullback) on the left for us.

Good news, look forward to seeing what all the fuss was about.
I blame the union communist cap for this defection.

Oi, Jamie is the best young haircut of his RL generation and has a great future of styling ahead of him. |

As for the other player, I am struggling to remember, possibly Joel. I may be wrong though.
Edit
Well I always rated O'Carroll as well. Very disappointed he went. Seems IL was as well. Great minds and all that ....
