He was poor again last night, in fact I can't believe he wasn't subbed earlier than he was. He literally runs into the players he's passing too. I did notice last night on one last tackle play, he put in a kick which went straight to Whilshire and Berrigan just looked at him with total disbelief at what he'd done.

Probably surprised he was still on the pitch like all of us.

Pretty much.

I'm sure one of his penalty kicks to touch actually went zero yards forward. And that was in our own half.

Pretty much. I'd go Berro at 7, Horne 6, Whiting 13.

Bloody hell I'd forgotten about that dismal effort. TBH I don't know why we bother with penalty kicks to touch anymore we might as well just take a tap. Thorman must have his own personel micro climate because he always appears to be playing into a gale force wind.

Thorman's kicking was alright but his and Richard Horne's passing game is shocking they jsut can't pass it with any pace and it took Berro to come on and put someone through the gap.

To be fair to both of them (Horne and Thorman) they looked to get involved a lot more this week and atleast we looked like we had some attacking structure however they where far too deep and we still struggle to hit players with pace, the amount of times someone got the ball while standing still was shocking.

A very very long way to go and to, too many average players in a team with very average half backs.

I think I remember that one. I thought DDD had just messed up as usual when he said we were re-starting on the 30m line after a penalty.

Tickle wants binning for his off field antics . Taking Thackray with him .

easily done....I once managed to slice a penalty on our 20 back 10 metres...one of our props (who had to cart the ball back out) called me, amongst other things, a useless c***!

Did you go to the galpharm by mistake?

Couldnt comment on that. I'd be happy with Tickle and Burnett in the 2nd row with Whiting at 13. Manu off the bench.

biggest cheer of the night when he got taken off with a few mins to go, I thought the ref had awarded a penalty try or something and only the south stand had seen it

I'd be happy using Berro for the remainder of the season at 7 and leave Thorman in the reserves or loan him to Gateshead or something.

Agar doesn't want him to play a full 80 though

only to protect his knee though??

Yeah, playing through the pain barrier

Why what they done ....... now

Think they are rumoured to still like a beer too much but only rumoured.

Sod me,what a shock,rugby players on the p!ss,whatever next?

I'm watching through the pain barrier but still manage to do the full 80

Was it just me,or did the last five minutes seem like twenty?

Whats Gateshead done to upset you?
