Get over it man.'"
Sorry Ivor, but I have got to dissagree, we got rid of a player who was average and didnt replace him, but thats no fault of our own, since he was actually replaced which is why he went.
Chris was a good player, with loads of potential, but for whatever reason didnt get there.
On Friday I would say I would still have had Brown than Throrman. Thorman looked slow and ponderous both in passing and running, and was no real threat to us, where as Brown, some poor passing aside lookes dangerous every time he attacks the line.
To take a leaf from your book, Thormans gone, get over it man.

Really? Two international wingers, an international centre, a young british centre and two young British half backs. They didn't have the best of times on Friday night but 'very poor' is stretching it a bit.

How can you comapare two players than where playing in different positions and roles, Thorman has been brought to Hull to play an organising role which he is doing very well.
I have also watched the game 3 times now and have still to see Brown do anything of note, he didnt break the line once and never looked like doing so.
You should have kept Thorman and looked to offload Robinson.

Reading the RL papers today, it's looks like you had a lucky escape with Carney.

The question is: Would he have been outside a Goulburn nightclub on Saturday night if he was playing for us?
The answer is: No!

Wouldn't say scrape, we was always in control.
don't matter if you win by 1 point or 60, a win is a win.
Thank you.

Believe what you will, IMO your backline isn't nothing to shout about.

Why
I would.
Thorman cant run, cant tackle, cant pass, and if he does its to the opposition wingers, he can kick very well though, sometimes.
Brown, can run, can tackle, occaisionally passes well, but cant kick too well, he can also break a tackle and go through a gap, something Thorman hasnt done in the 2 years previous.
Given that Brown was behind a beaten pack on friday, and Thorman was behind a winning pack, Brown looked better imo.

You may not like Thorman but making statements like that undermine your case.
If Friday was anything to go by Brett Hodgson cannot tackle, does not know when to pass the ball or keep it and cannot kick goals would it be ok to get rid of him.
Thorman is a good passer and his tackling was Ok. he won us more games than he lost for us and there are not that many players we can say that about. he set up two tries for Hull so he must have done something right. thorman had strengths and weaknesses as do most players. What is important is how the indavidual players come together to make a team.
Hulls half backs had more balance and complementing skills than did ours..
i was going to stop joining in this debate about Thorman but if everyone else keeps slagging him off unfairly i may have to break that promise.
I wish we had kept Thorman for another season and given Brown time to pick , choose and mould his own players. We will see how well Brown and Robbo are at the end of ths season.
