some training has to be done in that department.
This happened regularily when he was at the Giants - linesman was forever getting it wrong (:wink:) and had to run back down the pitch.
Thorman's a good organiser, gets the pack around the pitch and is a great place kicker (you won't have seen this this year if Tickle's taking these kicks). Don't expect him to pull up tree's like Richard Horne can or you will be dissapointed. See him for what he is and support him - don't get on his back or he'll end up being the player he finished up being at the Giants, ineffective and low on confidence. Horne and Thorman looks like a great combination to me. Thorman doing the bread and butter stuff leaving Horne to weave some magic and take a few risks.

no didnt think so everything has been a bed of roses,now we have lost a game people are noticing the faults.
You're right but then again if the kicks were better maybe there'd be no loss to talk about.
Does strike me as strange that some of our kicks are so poor. Let's face it, we're blessed with decent kickers in Tickle and Thorman, yet we don't seem to get the best out of them in this area.

I only read a couple of threads and came across this 'kicking to touch problem' that he had at the Giants. Any other reason to get on his back?
I hoped the change of club would have done him good and he'd find the form of a couple of years ago. Also, surprised Tickle has the same problem kicking to touch - maybe they are being overcautious.

Nope.
Been very pleased with him so far. Created a fair bit in attack.
Tackling is better than i thought it would be as well.
