I didn't, and I'm not normally one to have a go at individual players either.
He deserved everything he got IMO. With a bit of luck he'll be so upset he'll walk out on his contract.

| Someone should send every aussie rules club a video montage of all of Thorman’s kicks in open play this season.
I can see the coaching staff at the likes of Carlton, Geelong and Essendon creaming their pants at the prospect of getting there hands on a man who can kick the ball into another players grasp with such natural ease. I have no doubt that Thorman could become the Pele or Maradonna of aussie rules.

If I was him I would be embarrassed to take a pay cheque home each month for what he is doing.
He is supposed to be an internatonal class player with a great kicking game. As such I am sure he will be on in excess of £60k per year. He should have the balls to say sorry I ain't up to this.
I think it might be the factor of him being from Newcastle and wearing black and white. Its not working for their football team.

Not sure where you get that idea from. Apart from been utter dog turd, the guy has not got the heart to play in super league. Jeez, even the water carrier gets more involved in our games than he does.

Its not his fault he has been ridiculously over rated, his long range kicking game has always been terrible.

| but thorman is not a scrum half,
even when the club bought him every body knew he would never be what we needed,
there is too much pressure on thorman to deliver all the time

It has got past the stage of trying to defend him, he needs to be dropped now, Tommy Lee is a better scrum half, can i put it any clearer than that?

| Not read the whole thread so apologies if this has been said already.
1. Didn't want him in the first place, he was rubbish for Hudds which is why they got rid.
2. I was prepared to accept his signing on a 1 year deal if it meant we could use the time to find a really top quality 7 for next season.
3. If his contract is extended and we dont bring a top SH next season I will NOT be renewing my season pass.

| It hurts to say this but we miss cook so much and we just have not replaced him with any one Webster would of been worth keeping instead of Thorman. We was linked with Jamie saword who is at St George now but we did not wish to pay that little bit more for him now he is the best up and coming player in the NRL as that is what they are saying in OZ and i have seen him play and i agree. We was also linked with Dobson and we went out to OZ to get his signature and surprise surprise we lost out because we would not pay that little extra fro him. We would rather get average players or players past there best like DYKES any one agree

| Thorman's kicking was poor last night but he wasn't given much chance to look good as he was taking each kick from behind his 40.

Jamie Soward would have been a great signing but it never happened.

Its his job to direct play and dictate when the forwards run, so it was also his fault we were only getting upto the 40 before the 5th tackle.
Also if his kicks had gone to ground, Wire would not have been able to pin us so far back in our half and we would have made it past 40 yards, Wire was taking the first tackle on their own 40 due to the kicks dropping right into their hands.

| Even his drop-outs are woefull. I mean it's not like you've got to pinpoint the fullback or wingman like he normally manages. It's a case of get it as far down the pitch as you can, he can't even do that. Not one redeeming feature of his play, and last night was almost beyond belief. As for Judas, i don't think anyone at the club is brave enough to even try to get him back. Don't think it would ever happen but in the cold light of day you have to ask yourself whether we'd be a better side with a performing Paul Cooke....Of course we would.

Why would he want to come back??
Although I agree we have not replaced him.(I.M.H.O.)

| Hang on, hang on.
I think there's a little too much negativity around Throman. For someone to pick out one of three players on a piece of grass an acre in size in no mean feat, just think, the ball could go absolutely anywhere !! It takes som skill to find the man every time . . . . . . . . .
