"They'd butt each other like a pair of billy goats and would both look like a mess at the end of the game. I'd often see Billy an hour later sharing a beer with his rival, with both blokes sporting half a dozen stitches in their scones. They were a breed apart, fornt-rowers - blokes like Bluey were proof of that." Johnny Raper on Billy Wilson and other front rowers of the time

A few years ago he had real promise, and could have stepped up to international level, dunno what happened but he lost his pace and vision and with it all his confidence.
Tonight I told myslef he has taken over the mantle of 'SL's Most Over-Rated Player', a title held in the past by notables such as Darren Rogers. Truly a title worth aspiring to.
I remember Stevo ejaculating over himself whilst describing Thorman play - I think he had said he was a genius or 'had the ball on a string' or something like that when he played in a Yorks v Lancs game a few years ago. He had a good game then, granted, but he's always struck me as being, I dunno, a bit lucky when he has played well, or maybe people have been willing to blow his trumpet as though there was an agenda (!) ...... not sure but he's never really convinced me. His body language too looks like someone who doesn't fully understand the game, or looks a little lost.....dunno, I cant put my finger on it....
still, he has been average for some time now, certainly over the last few years.
'For a bonus point perhaps you could tell me the last English SL coach to lead his side to victory (either Challenged Cup or Grand final)? ....or perhaps records don't go back that far!
Clive Woody 18.4.06, not able to remember last year! pray for him......
'I shall take your failure to answer my question as an admission that there are few if any English head coaches in SL.'
Clive Woody 18.04.06, proving his inability to count and plumbing the depths of trolldom.
Thorman is a confidence player - unfortunately for him he got Hammered by the Giants fans last year and by the Hull fans this year , his confidence is shot to pieces now !
he can be a very good player on his day which these days seem few and far between
