We shouldn't have signed him, but we worst players than him.

Indeed, we should never have brought him in but he is far from the worst we have ever seen, as for him being "destroyed" by the fans, then that tells you everything, he's a professional (well, semi-professional) RL player, he shouldn't give a monkies what the fans think.

Yeah.... because that's how that works.

10,000 plus home supporters in a stadium week after week expecting you to fail - its going to have an effect on the best of people.

really? i.m.o he would have been given the same treatment if not worse at any other team, people can forgive someone who is struggling to reach the skill levels required but is giving 100% effort and commitment, but he was going completely missing in defence and blatantly pulling out of tackles.

His ability to side-step an attacker was without equal

Thorman had been around Super League for years with consistant if not great performances and was the best one year 'fill in' signing available,it was amazing how bad a season he had wth us.

They missed three goals then, otherwise it would have been REALLY embarrassing for the students.

Nice of him to let someone else have a kick at goal, as well!

if he'd had played for fc like he did at hudds then he'd have done ok...maybe he wasnt used to seeing/hearing that many fans with him being at hudds the season before and it scared him a little
