I didnt say I would bring in anyone at the expense of Crocker, im quite excited of him being here.

Jason Smith?

We are short of a centre for next year. Do u think Horney or Thorman is being ear marked to play at centre. I cant see us signing him and using him off the bench. Is someone leaving that we do not know about. My personal opinion is that Horne is a natural fullback He is defencely sound and can chime into the line. It does make us stronger squad wise. He can even play Motu at hooker next year. Good signing, just need another prop and we should go alright next year.

while not been a expert on the giants, if the combo of 1 thorman 6 brown 7 robinson worked better than 1? 6 thorman 7 robinson then they'd go with that.

Good point. But im sure if Smith for some reason never got to play then Berrigan would be next in line even ahead of Burderus. Or maybe im just been biased.

Its no wonder no one ever wants to come to this club...jesus give the bloke a chance!! Thorman will be a good addition and will defo improve our squad for next year...cant wait for all the negative posters on here saying how great he is next season.

That will be pervert pumpkin when he signs for rovers

Thorman was moved to full back in 2007 to accommodate Kevin Brown in the team. It was nothing to do with form or 'relegating' him to full back. Full back is a much harder position to play than stand-off.

Depends if your a better full back or stand off.

Wellens and Briscoe would find it harder to play stand off than full back

Wellens was originally a half back.



On the subject of Thorman, an excellent signing that provides us with a good kicking game and improved strength in depth in areas we struggled in last season.

Most kids who are good backs as youngsters tend to play in the halfs because they are the best players in the team and the half back positions are the hardest to fill.

I can't see how this can be seen as a bad signing. He isn't a superstar but he's still a decent player and will give us cover in the halfs. I like how our squad is shaping up for next year. We are one or two signings away from having a really good and balanced side imo.
