Well I didn't see Thacks as a starting halfback for SL but I definately thought we'd keep him as utility backup for a number of positions.

Netherton, yes ok cya.
Ford, has been ok recently, but he's not a SL centre.
Gerrard is strong, hardworking and has potential, but I've not seen SL quality in him either, so ok i guess.

Announcing this now? why? We have plenty of other players with less quality than these 4, seems odd to single them out while the likes of Pickersgill are still walking this earth.

I know for a fact that Thacks has been in contact with Wakey and Harlequins (although he is not keen on moving to London)

Wakey could do a lot worse than Thackeray. They're half-backs in Jeffries, Smith (if he ever re-appears), Wildie and Hyde just don't cut it. Tommy Lee has been their only decent option. I hope to God that the rumours of us going in for Jeffries are not true.

I was at the club today and seen Thackeray and Ford walking around together in their training gear. Hopefully they've not been outcasted completely while they try to come to a settlement.

Wakey would be a good move for Thacks, he could move back home to Hull and have 3/4 months to prove if he's a SL player or not.

I hope he gets a SL move, just for us to see what he could have done for us if given the chance.

Wakey have just signed Moore from Batley though, so I doubt they were ever an option for him really.

Chuffed that he's at York though.
