Can't be bothered to read through 13 pages, but here's my thoughts.
If he has been signed as a squad player, then it is not a bad signing and he will provide decent cover. However, if he has been signed as a starter, then it is e, simple as really.

Feel sorry for webbo 1 game and in those circumstances never stood a chance to fully impress,having said that Thorman is a damn good signing and if at the expense of webbo its understandable .

You obviously have some-one in mind as you sound an expert - please name who you would bring in instead of Crocker. |

We were the worst attacking team because we never had our halfs on the pitch so yes you are right if next season we play the full season without any halves crocker will not make a difference.
BUT
Hopefully next season we will have a more settled side and naturally the attacking options will get better.
I do not expect Crocker to come in and single handedly turn this team around but you cannot deny the guy is one of the most respected and feared players in the NRL and has the the ability to inspire players around him. Michael Crocker is one of the biggest signings this club has made and the only current aussie international since Sterling so to dismiss the scale of the signing is totally foolish. |

Good signing, well done Agar, like the 1 yr as it keeps the options open for 2010.
Welcome aboard Chris

Poor signing imo. Cant see for the life of me him coming here to sit in the stands and only play when someones injured.
Huddersfield are a club who are going on the up quick and we quite simply are left in the shadows.

I'm sure Berro was still an international? May be wrong though. |

I have no problem with Thorman signing.
He will give the club cover for scrum half, stand off, goalkicker.
This will also stop us having to play Berrigan in the halfs again.
I reserve my judgement until I see him play for the club.

Cameron Smith (Who was voted worlds best player) was the aussie hooker when berrigan signed for hull. |
