Opinion Thompson could be the best forward in the game

[kap123]

Huge call, I would say he isn't in the top 5

 

[Chris Harding]

Potentially top 5 middle forwards in the NRL. Think he’ll be even better if we get more ball. We do too much defence.

So true. Can't do much with 40% possession and lazy forwards around him. His break yesterday reminded me of the St.Helens footage of him at his attacking best. He has a good step, and speed.

 

[c-b-b]

Op said could be not is. Even if he's in the top 10 that will be fantastic compared to players we've had in the past.

 

[Moedogg]

He'd be a great player in a great side. Would be unstoppable if he was playing in the Panthers side.

I can’t wait to see him next year with other good players around him. TPJ and him will add some much needed mongrel. He could be top 5 middle forward.

 

[Moedogg]

Is he off contract next year? Hope we extend him before he becomes hot property..

 

[silva]

He’s not built like the average prop very top heavy and light on his feet. He could probably play in the back row as well

 

[flamebouyant]

Totally agree. His attacking potential is being negated by have to play the battering ram game.
He is a running forward, but has been forced to play that prop forward role.
If we had some good "go forward" props, he would slot beautifully into the back row.

The games a lot faster here in Oz, so his usual role at prop seems to be a waste of his energy. Would love to see him on an edge, if only just for a comparison.

 

[Bob dog]

Nearly won us the game then cost us the game.
Still the shining light has evolved into a legend.
If the Bulldogs give away one more penalty next week.

 

[Horse]

I was in absolute awe of his performance yesterday. As good as I’ve seen from a Dogs middle forward in the past decade or so.

 

[Malla]

The fact he looks so good playing amongst a pack of shit ***** shows his quality

This guy still has Featherington starting

 

[Yougra]

He’s capable of being a very good forward but needs consistency and much better first contact in defence. He’s certainly found his feet in the NRL though.

Agree. With the ball he is great but his defence definitely needs improvement

 

[diddly]

Needs to stop getting suspended

[Psycho Doggie]

The 3 match ban is worth appealing, what a joke.

The 3 match ban is worth appealing, what a joke.

Lol what? It was like a chest bump. Stupid and unnecessary but 3 weeks LOL.

 

[Nexus]

Lol 3 weeks. Seems to be the added on punishment for being a Bulldogs player. Hope the club fights it and doesnt just bend over and take it up the tail pipe

2 wks with guilty plea
