Can't be bothered to read through 13 pages, but here's my thoughts.

If he has been signed as a squad player, then it is not a bad signing and he will provide decent cover. However, if he has been signed as a starter, then it is e, simple as really.

Feel sorry for webbo 1 game and in those circumstances never stood a chance to fully impress,having said that Thorman is a damn good signing and if at the expense of webbo its understandable .

You obviously have some-one in mind as you sound an expert - please name who you would bring in instead of Crocker.

We were the worst attacking team because we never had our halfs on the pitch so yes you are right if next season we play the full season without any halves crocker will not make a difference.

BUT

Hopefully next season we will have a more settled side and naturally the attacking options will get better.

I do not expect Crocker to come in and single handedly turn this team around but you cannot deny the guy is one of the most respected and feared players in the NRL and has the the ability to inspire players around him. Michael Crocker is one of the biggest signings this club has made and the only current aussie international since Sterling so to dismiss the scale of the signing is totally foolish.

Good signing, well done Agar, like the 1 yr as it keeps the options open for 2010.

Welcome aboard Chris

Poor signing imo. Cant see for the life of me him coming here to sit in the stands and only play when someones injured.

Huddersfield are a club who are going on the up quick and we quite simply are left in the shadows.

I'm sure Berro was still an international? May be wrong though.

Ahead of Robinson?
The same Robinson that saw Thorman relegated to the position of FB last season?

I have no problem with Thorman signing.
He will give the club cover for scrum half, stand off, goalkicker.
This will also stop us having to play Berrigan in the halfs again.
I reserve my judgement until I see him play for the club.

For once me and thee are in agreement

could it of been the fact that thorman is a better fb than robinson?

If Thorman had been playing well he wouldnt have been kicked to FB. Simple as.

Possibly although if true then Robinson must be very very poor FB

Cameron Smith (Who was voted worlds best player) was the aussie hooker when berrigan signed for hull.

I didnt say I would bring in anyone at the expense of Crocker, im quite excited of him being here.

Jason Smith?

We are short of a centre for next year. Do u think Horney or Thorman is being ear marked to play at centre. I cant see us signing him and using him off the bench. Is someone leaving that we do not know about. My personal opinion is that Horne is a natural fullback He is defencely sound and can chime into the line. It does make us stronger squad wise. He can even play Motu at hooker next year. Good signing, just need another prop and we should go alright next year.

while not been a expert on the giants, if the combo of 1 thorman 6 brown 7 robinson worked better than 1? 6 thorman 7 robinson then they'd go with that.

Good point. But im sure if Smith for some reason never got to play then Berrigan would be next in line even ahead of Burderus. Or maybe im just been biased.

Its no wonder no one ever wants to come to this club...jesus give the bloke a chance!! Thorman will be a good addition and will defo improve our squad for next year...cant wait for all the negative posters on here saying how great he is next season.

That will be pervert pumpkin when he signs for rovers

Thorman was moved to full back in 2007 to accommodate Kevin Brown in the team. It was nothing to do with form or 'relegating' him to full back. Full back is a much harder position to play than stand-off.

Depends if your a better full back or stand off.

Wellens and Briscoe would find it harder to play stand off than full back

Wellens was originally a half back.



On the subject of Thorman, an excellent signing that provides us with a good kicking game and improved strength in depth in areas we struggled in last season.

Most kids who are good backs as youngsters tend to play in the halfs because they are the best players in the team and the half back positions are the hardest to fill.
