I suppose.. but i can't imagine Thormans defence improving just because he's now playing at stand off.

doubt that

why would our fans want to watch long play against us

i dont think fc's contracts are that good...2 examples Cooke (judas) carvell (judas) Reardon (dint even start) were not known for our excellent contracts are we...just surprises me how fc keep making themselves look like fools...we will see if he even gets here hows that

i wonder what rwill happen if he scores a try

Have to say that looking at the bigger this is potentially a great signing.

He will be able to bring on the younger players. Offering his experience and teaching them how to step up to the next level, which is sadly lacking at the club at the moment.

So with Fitz teaching the forwards and Long the backs we may just start to see the potential that the youngsters at the club have coming to fruition. I am certain that Lee will develop under Long.

I am also certain that with Long by his side Horney will develop into the international half that he should be.

We still need a top class coach to bond that learning together.

Plus I might add one or two other changes in personel.

your avatar seems to contradict your sentiments...

Oh I !!!

Some good points there. And I hope you're right about Agar as it's looking like he'll still be coach for 2010 at least.

You lucky people, we've had him pi$$ off so many fans over the years with his cocky swagger. I hope he has 2 good years in Hell, but no cups please


Good Luck Longy we'll miss ya

I read Tony wants to go back to the NRL.
Hopefully yes, i forgot about Byrne.
I don't want to see Lee Burnett Maloney Thackray or Whiting go though. Two year deals all round except Burnett and Maloney with perhaps 3 or 4

jason smith, tony grimaldi richard swain ect ect ect

i think i might use that phrase

That thought crossed my mind too, particularly those of an attack-minded viewpoint. Here's another potential bonus; if Agar can get over whatever his beef with Hall is, he could perhaps shine a bit more in the right centre spot with the improved supply.

when did we sign him then

Cooke didn't sign the contract. Carvell didn't want to play for us anymore, so we happily got 50k from it. Reardon didn't pass a fitness test.

I know what you mean, but they are all different situations

Reserving opinion until all other pieces are in place.

Sorry i forgot my punctuationicon_wink.gif

Without digressing too much. Carvell signed then his missus changed his mind. What did the club do wrong there.?

Reardon signed subject to medical, which he failed. The problem with that signing was that we shouted about it from the rooftops before the medical was complete.

Judas.......least said the better, though I will remind you that he was still accepting his pay and he has been found guilty of breaches, not us.

agreed...fair enough then we shall see. if i were in charge i would release Tony and put Horne at full back

Has that Dobbin got on your account again? That's one of the biggest loads of tripe I've seen in a while.

Cooke's contract was messed up. Carvell signed a contract, then decided to leave. At least we got a fee instead of him going for free as, wait for it, he had a contract.

Reardon failed an extended fitness test. Nowt to do with his contract - in fact the contract thankfully had a clause in it allowing us to get rid.

spelling more like

I don't think Agar has a beef with Hall. I think Hall needed time to recover his confidence after playing so poorly when he helped us out at Full back. I'm hoping we'll see him again soon at centre.

Be my guest

Me too

Fair play then. Didnt realise that Reardon was like it was...Carvell whouldnt have signed if he didnt want to stay and neither should Judas
