I have come to the conclusion that you are simply a drug addict who is a period of cold turkey when posting on here.

Thorman has a kicking game which consists of more than simply belting the ball from anywhere in the field of play over the deadball line. Thorman also has a sidestep which Horne doesn't (or chooses not to use). Thorman can actually pass the ball on both directions without telegraphing the fact.

Horne is a safe yet unspectacular player who will rarely come up with a mistake. Thorman has more creativity.

You appear to turn up to games and not bother watching.

Thread drift?

And he will be unlikely to make our first 17, brought in to add depth to our front row.

Not a bad signing, better than Webster as an option to be honest. Unlike some on here who slag new players and the club off at any given opportunity i'm willing to see how he goes....welcome Chris.

I see we have the serial whingers on here who wouldnt be happy if we signed the whole of the Australian and New Zealand touring teams, they would still in in EXPERT opinion have their little whinge. I think Thorman will bring a lot to our team that has been missing, with his kicking game, Raynor and Calderwood should be a threat to a lot of teams.
A good signing in my opinion. The biggest problem anyone has signing for our club is before they even have time to pull on the famous black and white shirt the doom mongers have written them off. I respect everyone is entitled to an opinion, but surely you should also show respect by at least seeing how they perform for us first.

totally agree.
