I think Hull FC should be applauded for championing local talent, but an average local player is still just an average player. They said franchising would allow clubs to play more local players but judging by what a lot of your are saying on here, fans aren't willing to see a slip in performances for the sake of playing local talent (which is understandable) and especially if it's causing Hull FC to lose grip on being one of the UK's top clubs.'"
I totally disagree. If the Australians and non Hull players in the squad were totally outplaying them then ok, but the fact of the matter (Manu aside) is that they're not! |

I think the general point you are making has some merit. Whether Hull ultimately gain as a result of tightening restrictions on non home grown talent remains to be seen. But in terms of pure player quality you may have a point. |

Nobody with any sense is using Thorman as a scapegoat or really slagging him off, all people are saying is what most people thought all along that Thorman is a very very average 7, he is doing a job for us in the short term as there was really nobody else in our price range available. He would make decent utility player in my opinion but hes not top 6 material, as a halfback anyway.

Agreed, well, until the utility player bit, I'm a bit sick and tired of them.
Lets face it, Horne isn't a top 6 half back either, we're a team of averages, the only "word class" thing at FC is the fans, and the spin from the board. |

Joking aside Standee, you are 100% correct.
We have a grade A license off the pitch and a grade C license on it. The only other grade A thing about our club is the amount of fans that we have and the vast amount of money that we relentlessly pump into the club.
Does that constitute having the pi$$ taken out of us ????
I THINK IT DOES !!!

Not any of the top SL sides, hence he's never been poached.
or successive GB/England coaches

Or he's turned down approaches.
And in what position did he last make an appearance for his country?
For the first few games of the season he looked every bit a top 6 halfback. A bit harsh to write him off after two games where just about everyone has looked gash. |

Oh, he's a decent player, and a cracking boke, but I am 90% certain he's never had many decisions to make as far as contracts are concerned. |

So you can only be a top half back if you've been poached?  |
