Just don't like replacing blokes playing well, especially with a bloke who may still be recovering fitness. Of course i hope i'm wrong. I can handle that type of "mistake"...lol! I'm happy to play both Hendo and Thornton as it suddenly provides way more flexibility. Waite and be moved about more or even Hendo if height is needed in defence. That's what I liked about Thornton up forward.
Walker should really be playing that role and more, that Thornton was set up for up forward.
Walker should be the Fisher ++++
Unfortunately for Thornton, his best is down back and when that becomes unavailable, so does Thornton.
Again, I may feel sorry for him, but just as much so for the person he may be keeping out.
Dog eat dog world out there.
