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.

Just needs a run of games to get match fit and prove himself. Not time to get rid just yet, imo.
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 team

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 though
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.

I stand corrected it just feels like he is always injured to me
