World class centre needed
Re: World class centre needed
Thonrley hasn't picked up a ball for over a year! You've got to be concerned if you're IL/SW etc.
Gildart isn't ready from what ive seen and won't be for another 12 months.
If Bridge is brought in for next season to be a back up to Sarginson and Gelling then it wouldn't be a bad thing. After all we would be using a main centre from a rival club as a back up to our team.
Bridge seems like a bit of a prick on the pitch, but hes got ability.

Re: World class centre needed
I agree i think thornley when fit is an excellent player, but some players (paul prescott being another example) just dont seem to be able to find a run without injury, he just doesnt seem like his body can cope playing top level RL he came back in 2012 and i cant remember him ever having a long run in the teamNezza Faz wrote:I can see what you mean WF with the comparison, just think a younger, fit Thornley offers hell of a lot more. A really believe he's a classy player, a winger's centre ?
Just needs a run of games to get match fit and prove himself. Not time to get rid just yet, imo.

He wasn't very good though
Re: World class centre needed
I would sooner look at lads from the championship - bridge has played SL for several seasons and like I said on the rumour mill post he has never been selected for anything of worth. he is just a player who makes up the numbers that's it

What are you basing this on thoughbomhead wrote:I would sooner look at lads from the championship - bridge has played SL for several seasons and like I said on the rumour mill post he has never been selected for anything of worth. he is just a player who makes up the numbers that's it
Last year he scored more tries than both gells and sarge
He provided more assist than both
He missed fewer tackles than both
He made less errors than both
I'm not suggesting he is world class but he certainly isn't anywhere near as bad as you're making him out.
