| Quote delticmark2="delticmark2"I see we have the serial whingers on here who wouldnt be happy if we signed the whole of the Australian and New Zealand touring teams, they would still in in EXPERT opinion have their little whinge. I think Thorman will bring a lot to our team that has been missing, with his kicking game, Raynor and Calderwood should be a threat to a lot of teams.
A good signing in my opinion. The biggest problem anyone has signing for our club is before they even have time to pull on the famous black and white shirt the doom mongers have written them off. I respect everyone is entitled to an opinion, but surely you should also show respect by at least seeing how they perform for us first.'"
The vast majority of posts on this thread have been positive.

| Quote jordanp="jordanp"Thorman isnt really a bad player, whats annoying is that Hudds have ambtion and want to push on by signing a halfback the quality of Todd Carney and possibly even Nathan Fein (I would expect him to play dummy half if he signed) both better players then Thorman, so should be a bigger club but we cant compete with them.'"
Problem is we already have Dykes and Horne. Unless we can offload Dykes without adversely affecting our cap situation, we're stuck with that combo for another season. There's no point in chasing quota players that will cost big bucks when right now we can't accommodate them (due to quota and cap reasons). Thorman is a stop-gap to allow us to move for a top half-back in 2010 if one becomes available.
Not sure that we lack abmition or pull when next season we'll have Crocker and Berrigan in our side. |

Can see a logic behind it, yes Crocker and Berrigan are both great players but they are not the type of players (especailly in the case of Crocker in my opinion) that would be in demand as say one of the top 7s in the NRL, if a world class halfback did become available for 2010 can you honestly see Hull signing him? This has been said every year since first missing out on Stacey Jones in 2002. |

He's a "current" SOO and Aussie International. He's scores quite high on the pecking order. |

..and how many top (and I mean top) half backs that we have seriously chased have we actually missed out on to another SL club? |

| A message for Sheldon, Kosh, Robbo4
NEH NEH NE NEH NEH. Told you so 
Sheldon you now need to change your signature
If no one knows what i am on about check out pages 64 and 65 of the last rumours thread. maybe someone can do a link 
Anyway i am sorry we have lost Thorman but can i give you some advice.
Thorman is not a full back. EVER.
He is not a great touch line kicker.
He is not blessed with great pace.
he is a good organiser, skilful, a good short kicking game, and he can play through an injury if it was a choice between him and Dykes then it would be Thorman every time. he will be an asset to your team. I also think he is a confidence player and if the fans get behind him then you will reap the rewards. |
