Felt for him. Thought he was OK until the disastrous decision to sacrifice him at Fullback.
For someone low in confidence who admits he hates that position and has proven to be poor in defence that was a lamb to the slaughter tactic from Agar.
I could hear the last 2 nails driven into his coffin as we waited for those high balls to descend.
Poor bugger. He's not up to it so why put him through it?
Seem to remember that he was a decent player at Huddersfield,,,,Looks like a total loss of confidence.....Could it have been when he went to Aus,,hardly played for the Eels and ended up back over here?
The man was struggling for form so he was dropped for 2 games, got himself back into the 17 whilst low on confidence and Agar sticks him at fullback - the biggest spotlight available!!!! Horme should have reverted to full back with Thorman staying in the halves.
Agar made a major ph uck for me and i really feel it for Thorman, who for me will prob not play SL for a long time now.

Agar should have moved him from full back after his first miss of the high ball,but being sadly lacking in coaching skills he leaves him there to make a complete ba--s of it.

I think that it is a bit unfair to criticise his effort. I think that Thorman always looks interested and tries hard. criticise his performance, but for me I think that he is one of the few who you cant criticise for lack of effort
