| Quote: Willa "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.'"
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.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

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.

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

| Quote: Superbowl Scott "If Thorman had been playing well he wouldnt have been kicked to FB. Simple as.'" 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.

| He is here to cover the halfback positions, and I can't see him getting in the team when Tony, Horne and Dykes are fit. And with Horne out for basically the whole of last season, Dykes in and out the team and Tony having a couple of injuries, its good to see a proven SL player come in as cover (btw not saying that Thorman would play FB, but saying if Tony was out he would go to 6 with Horne at 1 imo). All our signings for next season add something:
Crocker: well, tons of things!
Calderwood: pace, good defence, effort, knows where the try line is
Maloney: hunger, wants to prove himself
Thorman: good cover, will do a good job filling in
It's not the best recruitment in the world, but its a lot better than some and at least the side is been improved in areas where we need it. We need a prop and a centre now and its job done

When we signed Berro he was a current Australian International.
