Sharp always played with 3 pivots its just that Motu was the 3rd option not the looseman.

That's the risk we're taking.

I don't see how we can improve this area (halfback) for 2009, except to bring in better cover, which we now have done.

As somebody said, Dykes is twice the player Webster is, and his departure frees up a non-fed space.

I'm now looking forward to next season even more, and hopefully there'll be a new signing to come in.

I would say that following what James Rule said last night about "having a bit of spare cash left under the cap" points to that being a cert! The quality of what we get though has to be a case of wait and see, although I think that Agar has someone in mind in Aus myself!

Hope you're right Wilf!

Looking at next years squad, we're not short of players in any position, just short of quality, specifically at prop and .

I expect that if Agar is on the look out, that will be his priority. (expecting Radford will move to prop to make it six).

So if Agar is on his way to Oz who is available in those places or who do people think he has in mind ??

Not sure on this.

If Dykes and Horne are both fit, I doubt Thorman will feature. However, better cover than Webster would have given

You have a really good quality half back IMO when played in the halves he is twice the player of dykes. Ur starting 6 and seven will be thorman and horne. Only wish we had kept him and got rid of luke robinson!!

We could do like the Yanks football and just bring Dykes on when there is a kick!!!

good signing cant wait to see him in black and white

agreed good signing

Just what we have been looking for since Cooke left, great signing.

For what its worth ,I reckon Thorman will do o.k. for us.

Thorman has to be given the number seven shirt now even if Dykes doesnt go (although I think he will). I dont understand why everyone thinks he (Dykes) is so wonderful. I didnt see anything from him last season that makes him world class or even a very good player. He only played a few games and drifted in and out of most of those and to me is only a slightly above average half back.

Absolute shiite. Dykes had a long and successful career in the NRL, thorman was a flop when he tried it
