Last night , Even before a ball was kicked , They we're saying Quins were going to struggle in the forwards against the Hull pack. The first 10-15 mins we dominated the game but only came away with 2 points.
The same happed against Cas , We only lead 6-0 after a lot of pressure . again .

You put a quality 7 in this side and it would have been a differant result.

Chris Thorman was not to blame for the result. The game lasts for 80 minutes not 10-15. The Quins forwards didn't struggle against the Hull pack - they won that battle particularly in the second half when we could hardly get out of our own half.

In and out? that's waht Thorman is! a fullback one minute, a stand off the next and then a scrum half.

Personally, i would prefer an out and out Scrum half

The squad is good enough to finish in the play-offs and should still do so. If everyone is fit and we are in top form we are good enough to push the top teams and maybe win something but the problem is we need to be at our best to do that. The top teams in SL can win when they are not playing well and if they are playing well we would need a fair bit of luck to beat them with our current squad.

Here we go again eh!!

The players have had two poor weeks but 5 good ones, we need to get back on track but this thread is way ott. Against the Bulls we scored some excellent tries and Thorman was superb but now we are rubbish and so is Thorman

i like thorman,
and in a side performing well he looks a very good player,
but he will never be a scrum half

How would it go with Houghton playing 80 and Berrigan at 7?

Forgive me if that's already been looked at but haven't seen much of Hull this year..

Why would you even think about moving Berro from the hooking position!

Thorman is only Human and he need's his forward's to lay down a platform for him to work off! (FACT)
From time to time he's going to have Off Day's all player's have them!
and what makes these H/Backs look good is if the runner's run good line's and create chance's EG . Yeamo's try against Bradford , he ran a suberb line onto a Thorman pass .
And one last thing! Thorman has played more then dykes or have we all forgotten about our missing H/B last season!

We had loads of people in and out of 7 last year?

Or do you mean "Out and out?"
