yeah, I'd go for that too. Good for the homegrown quota too, he has one more error than Thorman though, so if we trust the stats maybe we should stay well clear

I think overall the stats show him as a bit better than Thorman

. When's he contracted till?

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE TAKE HIM

Well start paying us then...

It would be terrible if we went into the new season with Thorman and Deacon as half backs.

If the club is seriously planning to replace Jefferies with Thorman it's illustrating even more the lack of ambition.

I agree. I'd rather have Sykes at 6 than Thorman. BJ has been our best half this year and our 3rd best back imo (behind Halley and Nero). If Thorman is being signed as backup that would be ok, but I doubt we would be signing him as back-up when we have Sykes who can play in the halves.

Who do we have left to sign up frpm our current OOC list?

I dont even see the point in signing Thorman as back up when we could have a youngster at our club and in our current first team squad provide it. There's no reason to be paying an established super league player to be just cover.

[size=200YOUR SAFE YOUR NOT SIGNING HIM LUCKY YOU[/size

Pheww.

You better not be luring us into a false sense of security..

Tadulala
Jeffries
Morrison
Matt James
Matt Cook
Solomona (Prob going)
James Donaldson
Dwayne Straugheir

PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEE take him, trust me he is world class, worth every penny.

Thanks.

better add menzies to that as his re-signing hasnt been announced officially yet ( although that may be bein saved for this weeks 'goog news')

So then, our current OOC players and my guess at if they are staying or going;

Tadulala - maybe going (Union)
Jeffries - going (Celtic?)
Morrison - don't know
Matt James - dont know (prob going?)
Matt Cook - going (Cas?)
Solomona - Hopefully going (wakey?)
James Donaldson - hopefully staying and being signed up as we type
Dwayne Straugheir - dont know
Steve Menzies - prob staying (TBA?)

Interesting off season ahead...again.



Stop sitting on the fence man, let us know what you think


But if this is true, and we were never getting wing and BJ is going, who are we signing to play 6 next season?

Also if Semi goes are we signing a winger or going with Platt/Halley? I think we'd need to go get a suitable replacement winger if Semi goes.

If Semi goes we need a new winger as neither Halley or Platt can match his runs early in the tackle count (although due to speed Halley comes close).

Neither Halley or Platt are as good wingers as Semi full stop. So the problem would be if Semi left we only have a "yet to convinced" Sheriffe as an out and out winger given that Halley has pretty much made Full back his for now and left Platt covering across the backs.

BJ leaves we only have Deacon as an out and out half back.

Lots of business for the coaching staff to sort out, but if our new signings are from other superleague clubs we wont find out until their clubs finish the season.

Isn't Thorman under contract at Hull anyway? We'd have to pay a fee to get him.

He only signed a 1 year deal with Hull for this season iirc.

Spiffing.

2009 according to the hull forum squad list;

We're definitely looking light on numbers if these reports are to be believed.

If Semi goes we've only got one specialist winger, who has yet to convince (I'm assuming that Halley has the No 1 shirt nailed down for next year)

If BJ goes then we've only got one specialist half back, and he's definitely on the downward slide.

I'd suggest we need two more wingers, so we are not relying on the same two guys every round or have to shift Halley into a less effective role. And we need two half backs - going into a season with only two has proved to be a mistake IMO.
