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

[CaptainJackson]

Why are people so worked up?

He came with high promise and fairly quickly it was evident he was great in the ESL but fairly average in the NRL

It's no big loss if he goes to roosters, he's not what we need, so why work yourselves up over an average prop?

Exactly this. He isn’t anything more than a squad player at NRL level.

He won the lotto when he signed with us at a desperate stage. He has been payed 3 times his worth.

If he was to stay. It would be a minimum wage deal for me

Average is a massive over-exaggeration

Well yeh but I'm not fussed with him, glad he's gone

I'm more upset at TPJ, **** never pulled his finger out, doesn't realise what he's blessed with. But again he's also no longer our problem

I don't get why people are getting worked up over us losing problem players who were on far too much coin

 

[S.B.W_Jnr]

Twal 300k > Thompson 300k(pay cut price)

 

[maroondog72]

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

No he won’t

 

[Dogs Of War]

When is someone in the Nrlol going to grow some balls and ask the question ?

How the F*** do the Roosters keep adding players to their squad without losing anyone !

It’s gotten beyond the joke !

You don't think Cricton will be released immediately to play Rugby? He has had a few headknocks. Tahs and Roosters work closely together. It will be worked out, cause that cross over from League to Union is hard.

@DinkumDog they are low life grubs mate. No one deserves to have bad wished upon them.

Can think of a few political leaders over the course of history that others would suggest illustrate otherwise

 

[SexBomb]

The cock sucker earned 3.2mill and only played 42 games for us

Now is willing to take a pay cut and play for roosters that Fukn cat.

KSS EMO

$76,190.48 a game FFS!
Isn't that almost this season's minimum top 30 wage?

What are you basing those numbers on?
And no, NRL minimum wage in 2023 is $120k.

Post I quoted.
$80K was last year?

No $80k was back in 2017 and it’s risen progressively since. It’s set to rise again in 2024 under the new EBA.

Twal 300k > Thompson 300k(pay cut price)

300k still to much for thompson
This is a fair offer.... 0

My apologies for the misunderstanding.

 

[Dingo]

Fuck off already

 

[Matilida]

Thompson should never be resigned. He has milked us for 800K per season and now he wants to take a pay cut to play for roosters.

What a joke, kick him out now.

This is a actually a good point, at least the weak pom had an "excuse" with his "injuries", what was the other bitches excuse?

 

[PaulS]

Nasheed here,
Article says he can replace Crichton in 25. Presumably he signs for 25. Meaning he is free next year.
I think we should sign him for 500k next year and then year after he can go to roosters for 300k.

You are the biggest flog.


I told you Thompson was long gone and told he won't be resigned back in May...

Now you say offer him 500k.

Nasheed , you have deadset NFI , your a petty poster...

Do you like paying $21,000 for a $7,000 car?

And? So what? He's not our problem anymore.

Even if we were to sign him to a more reasonable deal, he takes a spot in our top 30, probably demanding a starting spot. Been there, done that, we don't need him there, would rather look for another forward who's going to provide better impact for our team instead of being stuck with Thompson for minimum 2 more years
