Decent value for money signing. Fed-trained, which will give you more options when you look at making a more high profile signing. Actually, could you claim him as club-trained?

No you have to be under a certain age or spent time in your youth system.

Can't say we haven't lacked organisers and a decent kicking game this year, so no arguments on that one, but this rubbish from Rule about him being a good guy off the pitch, yeah right, why was he suspended a couple of seasons ago by Huddersfield following very disturbing night club incidents with females then?

I know, but he was with the pre-merger Gateshead's academy before going to Sheffield wasn't he? You've enough homegrown players that it doesn't matter, I just wondered if could if you wanted to.

No shadow of a doubt this signing has come through Jon Sharp, but I think its a very smart signing when you look at the injury crisis we've had this year.

He can cover 1, 6 and 7, all positions which we've had major injury problems at this season so his utility value will be highly anticipated.

FWIW I think we should go with...

6. Horne
7. Thorman

Either Dykes or Webster has to go, and tbh i'd rather it was Dykes, we'll get more game time from Webster and he isn't on the quota!

We still need a new centre though imo!

Webster counts on the non-fed and Dykes is twice the player he is.

Yes. sorry. Thorman is decent player, a bit underrated IMO, experienced and gives Agar some extra options/cover at half back without using another non-fed spot.
