Far more average Hull players than star quality players, but I can honestly say that I have never slated them as they all were doing something that I used to dream of. They all played for Hull FC who are for mine the greatest club in the world. I will support any player in Black and White irregular hoops. But Thorman is stretching that loyalty.
He clearly is not interested in playing for my club. He was the reason why we were losing at half time. I was encouraged that we appeared to be passionate about playing tonight. 30 mins gone and we were playing with heart and passion. Not likely to win but competing. But just as we were back in it with Kirk's try he allows Leeds to march through AGAIN.
He completely destroyed the desire in the team. Webbs try. The penalty on the 5th tackle when he interfeared with the ball. His attempt at a tackle when the winger almost went the full length. His decision making with ball in hand and his kicking, which is what he was lorded for before he played.
Simple awful.
Some talk about boycotting the games / club etc. If I see his name on the team sheet again I will be forced to stay at home. I have been calm since the Salford defeat. I have accepted that we are below average and will expect defeats. No anger, no frustration, but HIS PERFORMANCE TONIGHT has left me totally furious.
My 3 year old is in bed tonight with his Hull shirt on as he wants to be a Hull player and has pride in wearing the Hull shirt. I can honestly say that I believe a grown man is being payed to wear a Hull shirt and he has no pride in it and he is a fraud and disgrace to the B&W irregular hoops and all that they stand for.
For our sanity and yours Chris go now.

Don't you think that the lack of passion comes from the top down.
Thorman isn't playing that well but the depth of the problems beset the club are not down just to Thorman.
When ever there are major issues there seems to be a focus to vent anger but seeing as I have many Black and White mates most point the finger at KH... I think that needs addressing first.

I can't see Kath giving herself a telling off though

Bull5h!t, in the first half the players were playing with pride and passion, it wasn't fantastic but they were trying, thorman single handedly destroyed all that, every point in that first half was in some way conceded by him.

SPOT ON TH4 MONEY RICH
I have always avoided openly criticising players on here, its too public and players can make mistakes from time to time. Thorman was without doubt one of the worst players I have seen grace a the field in our colours. His tackling was non extistant this evenng and his kicking was at best poor, hell I could have done better and my knees are well shot.
Thorman should be loaned to Gateshead for the season !
Oh hang on ............... what have they ever done wrong to us
I saw a team trying this eveing and Thorman almost on his own destroyed that
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;

Even the one where Senior walked through Whiting... Get a grip
And just when we thought he couldn't get any worse... How uninspiring must it be to see your team mate give such a half arsed effort to defending as Thorman did for Webbs try. Shocking kicking, shocking passing, shocking tackling... To sum it up he is ... shocking

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!
SPOT ON!
