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.

I can't see how this can be seen as a bad signing. He isn't a superstar but he's still a decent player and will give us cover in the halfs. I like how our squad is shaping up for next year. We are one or two signings away from having a really good and balanced side imo.

And in mine

He is here to cover the halfback positions, and I can't see him getting in the team when Tony, Horne and Dykes are fit. And with Horne out for basically the whole of last season, Dykes in and out the team and Tony having a couple of injuries, its good to see a proven SL player come in as cover (btw not saying that Thorman would play FB, but saying if Tony was out he would go to 6 with Horne at 1 imo). All our signings for next season add something:

Crocker: well, tons of things!
Calderwood: pace, good defence, effort, knows where the try line is
Maloney: hunger, wants to prove himself
Thorman: good cover, will do a good job filling in

It's not the best recruitment in the world, but its a lot better than some and at least the side is been improved in areas where we need it. We need a prop and a centre now and its job done

Is it just me but didnt he sack us off and go back on his contract a few years ago to go to Aus.
Anyone who can do that to the club i support is not welcome here as far as im concerned.

Sorry if its already been mentioned but i cant go 14 pages tonight i simply dont have the time.

Average signing and totally not happy

Id rather have webster

Your right Fletch



When we signed Berro he was a current Australian International.
