We need stability in the halfs. Having Dykes in one game then Thorman then back to Dykes will just mean a repeat of this seasons debacle.

I am not at all disappointed with this signing, and could prove to be a good move by the club.
The biggest positive I think, is that Berrigan can settle down in the hooking role. Washy or Whiting at loose
I see we have the serial whingers on here who wouldnt be happy if we signed the whole of the Australian and New Zealand touring teams, they would still in in EXPERT opinion have their little whinge. I think Thorman will bring a lot to our team that has been missing, with his kicking game, Raynor and Calderwood should be a threat to a lot of teams.
A good signing in my opinion. The biggest problem anyone has signing for our club is before they even have time to pull on the famous black and white shirt the doom mongers have written them off. I respect everyone is entitled to an opinion, but surely you should also show respect by at least seeing how they perform for us first.

Problem is we already have Dykes and Horne. Unless we can offload Dykes without adversely affecting our cap situation, we're stuck with that combo for another season. There's no point in chasing quota players that will cost big bucks when right now we can't accommodate them (due to quota and cap reasons). Thorman is a stop-gap to allow us to move for a top half-back in 2010 if one becomes available.
Not sure that we lack abmition or pull when next season we'll have Crocker and Berrigan in our side.
