James Rule due on Radio Humberside anytime now talking about the Thorman signing.

To go all mod on you, put it in the rumour thread... this one is about Thorman.

That is harsh,give the lad a chance 1st Martin.

As for Thorman,dont particulary rate him but if it means the Ginner going and we get another prop in ans are looking for 2010 then it is the right signing...Dykes at 7,Thorman 6 and Horne R...centre?

Dykes is still here.

That's more like it

For now.

I agree, IF we can keep Dykes on the field. Think Hull will be retaining Webster as well personally.

So the "I told you so's" are a bit premature and would make one look very stupid if circumastances change.

Not a bad signing but his defence is questionable


Brough is a better player

There could be something in that move Horne F/B wouldn't be a shock

I think they may move R. Horne back to scrum half for 1 yr and play Thorman at stand off. I think Thorman did play a bit of 7 for London Broncos prior to his departure to Aus though, so he may well be direct cover for Dykes. I'd say thats Webster not getting his contract though. 1 thing this 1 yr signing says to me is we're gonna be buying a world class 7 for 2010. Whilst Agar is spending some time with Craig Bellamy, he could well put a marker down for Cooper Cronk for the 2010 season. I hoped this was the way they'd go and it looks like they possibly are. 1 good thing about the arrival of Thorman will be the fact we'll be able to spell Tickle, which should improve his impact and in turn give us the forward rotation we need.

Could even play Horne at loose forward

thats a very big if

Cronk signed a new 5 year deal this season.

rich horne will, rightly imo , be at stand off next season.

Washbrook and Whiting for that spot.

Good signing for Hull FC is Chris Thorman, I like him as a player not so much at Full Back but at Half Back he can be a very intelligent player.

or even Richard Horne

Great signing. You can never have too many average backs in a squad I say.

Thorman isnt really a bad player, whats annoying is that Hudds have ambtion and want to push on by signing a halfback the quality of Todd Carney and possibly even Nathan Fein (I would expect him to play dummy half if he signed) both better players then Thorman, so should be a bigger club but we cant compete with them.

Has to be Horne at 6 and Thornham (as DDD calls him) at 7 IMO.

Dykes and Webster to go hopefully.

i cant see dykes leaving tbh, i think if he was he'd be gone by now.

Id much rather keep Dykes even if we would only get half a season out of him then have Horne and Thorman at 6 and 7 all season, Its not ilke we could use the extra quota place to sign anybody decent.

Jeeeeze 5 years
