Didn't think i would see a worse full-back play for us after seeing a semi-retired Richie Mathers amble around the field, but my god Thomas is giving him a run for his money. Lost patience with him last week after watching him go for a positional kick into touch and some how booting dead in goal giving fax a 20m tap and 7 tackles. That set they got a 2 point penalty in front of goal. Remind me how many points we lost again last week.

This week his heart wasn't in it. We might as well not have had a full back for his attemped "tackles" his positional play is shocking. No where near the ball when it landed after KR kicked it. Hopeless.

Who would you play instead? We were playing the best team in the division this afternoon.

Keith Mumby

Jonny Campbell.

Thomas was shocking Carney ran straight through him on several occasions. Campbell ain't fit but it probably even unfit would have done a better job. Really hope that he is released at the end of this season so we can get a full back that ain't C#€p.

Johnny Campbell played fb at Hudds and was fantastic, since then we have had Oscar Thomas who is poo.
Hopefully he is another player that dissapears at the end of the year..

Along with his mate maccani..1 way tickets back to London

Injured. So bit of a pointless comment really. Thomas was far from worst player on pitch today.

Skolars!

Gone for the year.

What about Carney trampling Bentley before he got too Thomas.

Bentley is still eligible to play for academy who's been superb this season. I'll forgive him for not tackling a monster like Carney. Thomas isnt a kid anymore.

Im not singeling him out for missing a tackle on Carney. As i said it was the more than one occasion where the defender just went passed him with ease (and there were a few occasions at Fax too) its his all round play such as his positions for fielding kicks. Hes no where near them and the ball bounces a further 20m than if he were to catch it on the full.

There always has to be a scapegoat for the Bulls

I remember not so long ago when the scapegoat was Luke Gale! Yes, the guy who is odds-on to be Man of Steel this year...

Not saying Thomas is in Gale's league, but still, we do seem to be good at getting on the back of players who go on to do well elsewhere.

With Ryan and Gibson likely to be out for a while Thomas will play again.

I remember a few supporters who constantly derided Gale. There were a few around me who didn't rate Deacon in the halcyon days. Some thought Robbie Paul a one dimensional player.
And of course there were many who judged Addy as a journeyman back rower who should never have been placed in the halves. Yet an NRL coach of the year, Grand Final winner and long time Aussie national coach picks him there and he scores a hat trick.

To be honest nobody would stop Carney when he revs up, would you I wouldn't want to. And I would like to wish you the heat you have played well in parts yesterday, but we played shocking one of worst attacking performances. Too many dropped ball or penalties conceded but again al best for rest of season

For the the first 30 minutes, I think our completion rate was 100%!!
I feel that will have had a part in restricting your attacking opportunities, which was down to us, rather than you.
Eventually the fact that we had 2 back rowers in the centres and only 2 subs available came home to roost.
But I agree, you were there for the taking.

I agree with paulwalker71.

Thomas made mistakes, but so did most of our players.

Toovey chooses the best team available - including Thomas at FB and we all rate Toovey

I'm not gonna get on any players back - its not worth it - I believe they all try their best (maybe it isnt good enough for us as fans, but we are not the coach). The players have careers, family and outgoings to think about - I would not want to be a Bulls player at this stage in the season.
Good luck to all of them where ever they end up.

What do you mean pal? Is his injury season ending.

Ryan and Gibson both likely to be out for the rest of the season



The only luck we have had this season is no luck and bad luck.

In the first half we looked by far the better attacking team and with Aston and Keyes, Thomas played a full part in that. No he's no Mick Withers but Carney spent the afternoon busting tackles for fun.

On a side note did anyone else notice how Big Mick seemed to zero in on Mitch Clark at every possible opportunity.

Never been impressed with Thomas

A real lack of composure when needed. He's also too dependant on having high confidence to play well. Once things start to go bad, he just falls to pieces.

So has Johnny Campbell gone? if so its a shame he never has had a real crack of the whip..
is a lot better RL player than Thomas and safe has houses.

Re Gale.You go by what you see with your own eyes and Gale at the Bulls had 1 good game in 10 and made horrendous mistakes.I give all the credit in his improvement To Cas coach Darryl Powell who has turned him into a bona fide international half back and the Cas team into one of the most entertaining Super League sides I have seen for many a year.If he isn't the next ENGLAND(GB) coach then there is something wrong.Gale has been superb for Cas and is the Man Of Steel in waiting.As for Oscar Thomas--poor at best.Oh for the days of Mumby at full back.I am glad I was alive to watch his whole career at Northern,best tackler I have ever seen.

Thomas is a confidence player and is more of an attacker. Playing behind our leaky defence must be a nightmare for a fullback with his skill set.

Fact is we're now a bottom league team. If we had a young Mumby now he'd be on his way to another club like any other promising youngster.
