News Thompson happy to take pay cut to play at the roosters

[OldDogFan]

I don't know why people would wish bad on anyone. Thompson was paid good money, that's not his fault he was offered a contract and like any one of us here would have jumped at the opportunity. Suspensions and injury played a big part in an uninspiring tenure at the Dogs. It's just the way the cards fell unfortunately. Player movement keeps the competition dynamic and interesting, so leave the players to do what's best for them.

Don't care if he stays or goes, the fact of the matter is that his salary didn't match his output

I blame Lynne Anderson and her chronies for being so irresponsible with the money offered

Just thought I'd reminisce, I just tried to you tube Luke Thompson bulldogs highlight for the last 4 years and it came up '' no video exists '' That be right!!!!!
Only highlights were of a Irish rugby player by the same name playing currie cup in South Africa and he looked to have more talent than the pretender we signed......

If you can’t show anything in four years don’t let the door hit you on the way out

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Don’t get the personal attacks against Thompson yes he has badly failed to deliver and been extremely poor value for money but the fact the previous administration were stupid enough to throw big $ at an unproven nrl player is hardly his fault.
Time to move on thou can’t see any reason to justify his resigning even at a reduced price.

Why would you tag him in a thread where deadshits are saying they hope his mate does his ACL lol

I reckon he has seen it all before. Don't you
We've discussed it all on here already in other threads and @Actros very aware of some of the posters on TK's sentiment.

Your right, it’s just media bullshit, Tommo has never said such a thing, obviously where ever he ends up he will be earning less, when he signed with us he was riding the crest of a wave, now he’s at the bottom of the ocean, there are some short sighted horrible bastards on here !

So when is he holding the press conference to refute what weidler has printed?

 

[bulldog butch]

He should be on minimum for at least 2 years for us.

Yeah na...
Plenty of kids willing to take minimum wage and deliver more than this imposter....

 

[maroondog72]

At least TPJ had the good grace to pay the club and fans some respect and leave quietly and quickly.

 

[EXPLORER]

But you don’t come out and say I will play for less for the roosters.

I think he means less than his current contract.
Not less than an alternative offer

 

[Bulldog1966]

See ya Luke, from a few messages I noticed you won't be missed lol

 

[Trafford10]

Made of glass.
If he goes to the Roosters and they get more than 10 games a season out of him I will fall off my stool.

 

[Trafford10]

He hasn’t been here for 4 seasons lol

Feels like it tho.

 

[Bulldog Bloke]

Happy for Thompson to drink a tall glass of my diarrhoea, which in his 42 games in 4 years at the club, is substantially more solid.

Another player willing to take a pay cut to play at Roosters. What extra Curricular activities occur at the Roosters, they must be very pleasent

A Thompson lesson learnt is a good one.
Point of note we don’t need to spend big dollars on non spine players .
We can get forwards for 250k-500k max that go hard and have a big motor with their effort on a weekly basis.
Titans can go spend 1 mill plus on their Fifitas and Tino tiramosualatas

Your posts are as insightful as your threads.

 

[Aristidiz]

He will be another Foran and hit his straps with another team

 

[Scoooby]

Can F*** off!!

 

[SexBomb]

Don't care if he goes these days.
His legacy is tarnished and always will be a case of what if/what could have been.
The only way to change that is to stay on chump change and prove the naysayers wrong.
