along those lines, brought in as a steady stop gap player, with Halsall's progression and/or Gildarts return in mind. I'm sure he has another year after this though.
I thought he had a 2 year deal.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

He hasn't been particularly poor in games he's been incredibly unlucky with injuries. This current one that forced him off at Cas for example is simply not his fault.
Seems people have very short memories. Only last season people were moaning that we had to use Faz, Bateman and Isa in the centres. Thornley isn't a world beater but he's a professional, very solid and capable and is an out and out centre. Obviously not a long term solution but I'm guessing he doesn't take up a huge chunk of the cap. You need players like him, he's just been unlucky with injuries

He's injury prone that's for sure.
