I think Thorman and Horne will compliment each other very well. Thorman will do the organising and the kicking and Horne will play his usual running role.

As for Calderwood he is still a top winger and can produce top efforts both in defence and attack.

Okay Thorman is not the most amazing signing ever but he gives us what we need with Dykes departure and its only for a year until we sign a quality no.7.

FOR ALL THOSE MOANING ABOUT THORMAN, GIVE A REALISITIC ALTERNATIVE FOR NEXT SEASON WHO WE COULD HAVE SIGNED..............................????????????????????

Not top quality and overpriced.

Not much of an improvement over Thorman IMO. And considerably more expensive in all likelihood.

Decent choices are thin on the ground.

Dobson is younger and has his best days ahead of him.

No proof of this, anyone who thinks Thorman has come on the cheap are in for a shock.

Agreed.

Quote: Jake the Peg "Just been watching some games form 2006 and Horne was excellent. Just don't think thorman is in the same class or has the organisational skills we desperately need'"

This is my fear also. Thorman plays more like a Stand Off than a Scrum Half as far as I can see. I know they played well together for Yorkshire, but that was one game behind a dominant pack.

Hopefully we'll both be pleasantly surprised.

Granted. I just don't think that his best days are going to be all that good.

Quote: Gordon Gekko "No proof of this, anyone who thinks Thorman has come on the cheap are in for a shock.'"

There's never any proof, but Dobson's salary was pretty well trailed by two out of the three parties involved so I'm inclined to believe the real value was not far off the public figure. If Thorman is being paid that much then we're daft.

Dobson is a cracking little player who is already far better than Thorman, was fantastic for both Catalans and Wigan and has shown some climpses of magic in his short spell for us at Rovers.

I disagree. I think Dobson's performances for Catalan and Wigan, while very good, have been over-hyped.

That's not to say that he isn't a good player - just not as good as some make out. IMO.

WEST COAST PIRATES NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg



He's good enough to get us in the top 6 I reckon. Can you say the same about Thorman?

Take away his kicking game and there is not much left tbh.

He did it for Huddersfield and to a CC final.

Not from what I have seen during his Wigan, Cats and Raiders days.

I know he had a very good game against Wigan for you runing the ball.

Still to me nothing more than a kicker.

Fair enough, thats your opinion.

I'm very happy with Dobson, I like the fact we have a specialist scrum half at the club.
