Beam me up Scotty!!!!
How good was he?
Best game he has ever played. A big part of the the reason we nearly knocked them off. To all those that doubted, give him his dues.

Not that I have seen him play much before, but I thought he was very good for you guys - provided heaps of run off the half back line. But seriously, what is with that haircut - gives Lewis Roberts_thompson a run for his money
I dont know whether you were atthe game, or watching on telly, but yes he was better than normal, but still had a lot of poor disposals, and kicked to unneccessary contests when he had other options.
His run thru the center wasnt too bad for him.

I go to every game, with the exception of poorly planned weddings and the like.
Don't know if I can watch the replay, but from what I saw he was one of the best on field.

He played a very good game last night and gave a lot of drive just needs to improve his decision making skills.

He got plenty of it but what's the point of tearing through the middle at a million miles an hour then handballing to a stationary player with someone on him? Happened quite a few times last night, I'd select Head before Thornton because he is a great kick. Might see both in the side next week depending on the fitness of Dodd, Grover and Hayden.

Yep provided plenty of run but then instead of kicking while he was open an all the forwards were making leads for him, he handballs to guys in worst position an then the forwards have all made there leads so player has to wait till they make leads again.
Good an exciting to watch but really needs to learn to kick more often.
