I hope that was a joke!

God knows why people are saying drop Thorman but keep persisting with Horne especially when Thorman has played alot better than Horne in the past 2 weeks.

Agree Thorman was better v Saints. Not that much in it v Wakefield IMO.

Neither of them good enough at the mo though

wot about thorman at fullback.............GULP..(waits to be publicly flogged)

I'm not saying Thorman is pulling up trees or anything but i honestly cant remember a single positive thing Horne has done in the past 2 games but yet it is still Thorman who gets slagged off and Horne once again is immune from criticism.

yeah, but thorman's a geordie

I agree

I wan't every single player to come off that pitch onn Friday knowing they have worked themselves to a stand still and are proud of the shirt they wear, and the fans they reprsent deserve nothing less

I don't think any fan minds seeing us lose if they know the players have given thier all

IMO the reason (most) fans don't criticise RH is because they realise that he has earned the respect for putting in the effort week in week out.
His attitude is unquestionable, his ability is proven and above all you know he'll come good as usual.
Also Rich's strength is as a runner not a dictator of play, for me a lot of the problems lie with the 'STUPID' selection of Radford at loose forward, if your half backs are struggling to dominate teams/play then why play a prop in such a pivotal position? Negative to say the least.

Whos he have i missed something?

Hell yeah - I'm with you brother - I'd actually consider going on Friday.... and I'm 3000 miles away!!!!!!

Although if Kath joined in there could be a guiness record for projectile vomitting!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy has just come back after 10 months out with a career threatening knee injury FFS.
It's going to take him a few games to get his match fitness upto speed.

That is his best position, but for some reason he thinks he is a scrum half (with a great kicking game!)

I'd drop King, Tickle, Thorman and Radford and replace with Moa, u21's and Berro to 13.

Totally agree. At least there'd be something interesting to go and watch!

I'd like to see Whiting at 13, NOT Radford.
And 17 players who give their all for 80 mins

Do the basics with enthusiasm, work for each other and put some pride/faith back in the team. That's what I'd like to see on Friday and the rest of the season
