Think Thornley deserves another outing although he will have to work on his fitness/stamina. He was knackered by the end at London - says something about comparative fitness of League and Union I expect.

He has been with us since start of June and presumably playing Union until end of April. May would have been his off-season, and he's had two proper games back. Don't think we can draw any conclusions about fitness of Union players/teams from this.
