Can't say I'd be pleased, but a good source has informed me that an 'enquiry' has been made to Thackray's agent.

Personally think he's destined for a NL career for the rest of his days, but wonder if anyone closer to the club than me can confirm that this is simply a silly and hideous rumour.

LMS and Thackray in the same dressing room - I'd pay to watch that one.

id sign him.

if brian can keep his temper under control he could be a good signing

I agree. Our pack needs a bit of animal, the way we were pushed around at the JJB was shameful. Mac could tame him and I am sure LMS could show around Landan!

Struth. Nice man www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sp ... bulls.html

always handy having someone who gets column inches in the sun

I was always impressed with him when he was at Hull and played against us. As for the newspaper article, if that's how he was treated I don't see any problem with his comments.

iirc, it was him i was impressed with at the CC final last season.
I like him.
If anyone can keep him under control Brian can.
I wouldn't be over the moon with the signing, but we need a new prop anyway, imo Ward and Heckenberg aren't good enough.

As would I...my money is on LMS.

Says in the Daily Express today both Danny Ward and Orr are nearing completion on talks of extending their contracts.

Ward aswell? Oh.
Am i the only one thats not looking forward to seeing Ward continue playing for us? Hes not good enough imo.

Can't see jammy thuggery coming down here. Too much wonga and he'd never settle in IMO.
Let's keep the development going and if we are going to waste money, do it on a playmaker.

I'm with you on that one Tim. I think Ward's SL days are behind him, sadly. Wouldn't mind Thackray joining though.

I dont thing Ward gives us enough go forward. Surely there are bigger, better, and younger props looking for their chance waiting in the NL or even surplus to the big clubs requirements. I guess Williams and Roberts arent quite ready yet but surely BM can find some big lad to to do a job for us.

There is more to playing in the front row than breaking the line. For example Danny Ward has one of the fastest play the balls in the team. Watch when he is tackled and his body position as he goes to ground - ideally placed to keep the ball moving fast.

I agree, Danny always has & continues to give our team forward momentum.
Not a standout player, but continually gives us yards going forward.

Are you being serious?
Ward always runs into the line with his back facing them, the defenders dont even need to work to turn him onto his back, only to push him to the floor, how his body positioning going to the ground is ideal for a fast PTB i have no idea?

Well have a look on Saturday.

I will, you have a look also, I have been watching how ward plays since he's come back from injury.

I said the same about David Mills but no-one agreed.

I agreed, him and Louie used to make alot of meters together bringing the ball back up from kick offs. etc.
