No point in keeping Webster now, he would only be a back up player, on decent money and taking up a quota place

I was told earlier from someone in local media that Dykes is going nowhere, so bye bye Webster, or will Thorman play full back??

A good signing rather than a showstopper.

Thorman is a good half back (very good on his day) with a decent kicking game and will provide much needed cover at 6 and 7. The one year deal is spot on too.

Looks like bye bye to Webster.

Hope not, Tony has his critics but he is a superior FB to Thorman.

Think he is a good signing personally, got a good kicking game and a bit of versatility. Lets give him a chance.

Thorman is as much a Scrum Half as Richard Horne. So what do we go do, sign our Stand Off on a two year deal then go sign another Stand Off on a one year deal.

Right laugh!

I don't think we do if we sign Webster. AFAIK we have one spot left so if we sign Webster then we've no spots left whereas if we don't we've got a non-fed place spare.
We have Dykes, Byrne, Cusack, Berrigan and Crocker on the quota plus Manu and Tony on the non-fed thus leaving a single spare non-fed spot.

Where is Sheldon he seems to be on top of all this.

put it this way, if it was between webster & thorman then thorman for me based purely on natural talent and added bonus of goalkicking

not an outstanding signing but the club have put themselves in a position thats created a bit of panic amongst the ranks

he'll do a job when dykes is out injured probably

does this mean tommy lee being shipped out on loan and no deal for webster now??

I'm willing to give the lad a go. He'll be good cover at HB and FB and although he's not really going to direct things he does have an excellent kicking game, which we are sadly lacking.

So does this mean that Dykes is going nowhere?

Well done Hull Fc. Im personally very happy with this signing.

If this signing means we can sign a big aussie or non-fed player then I am chuffed.

Played some of his best rugby at SH for London.

I do remember watching a Hudds game on SS when rocket rod had a nightmare at FB and Thorman came in and made things worse...me thinks he needs to play SO or SH to be effective.

Probably, which I'm OK with. If he gets his knee sorted out (it was his knee that he did pre-season wasn't it?) then I think we'll see a bit more of him next year.
