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

I've just had a phone call from someone quoting you on that



Who was the other player?

What's Steve Diamond going to do at Sale now, he said recently that Thornley was the future at Sale RU whom the backs were going to built around, also i didn't think he fitted in with the rah rahs i read his profile--- fav papers---- the Sun and Wigan Evening Post!!! not exactly a Times man!!! welcome back Iain another good player for our talented back line.

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.

Jungle drums a rumbling



The problem with your caller is, he isnt a shareholder



As for the other player, I am struggling to remember, possibly Joel. I may be wrong though.

Edit : I am wrong apparently, O Carroll I am told.

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

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.

Don't set your expectations too high despite what a lot of people are saying!

I mean he's good - But he's no Jamie Foster that's for sure!!!!!!!
