News Injured Canterbury star Luke Thompson has declared he is not a spent-force in the NRL as he works towards an earlier than expected return

[Baby Blues]

whos off contract and available for next year that would do a better-job then him?

Asofa-Solomona & Emre Guler. I wouldn’t sign them but Matt Lodge, Jordan Mclean & Waerea-Hargreaves are also available

 

[RookieDog]

Great see you for your next game which will probably be your last anyway

He'll get injured again

 

[Dogmonster]

Jwh would be good for our forwards

 

[RookieDog]

Use his money for a real prop.

Guys like Jesse Bromwich, Fisher Harris and Campbell Gillard (although I'm not a fan of his) put their bodies on the line week in and week out and keep getting smashed and smash other players.

Can't remember when any of them last missed a game through injury.

Yet Thomson has been out for a couple of extended spells for us almost back to back - first the concussion and now the foot injury

 

[Doggiezbrah]

He's gone from us that way that reads ... Said he wants to stay in NRL and not just the Bulldogs.
I hope we keep him personally, but this seems like he's being put in the shop window.

Yup.. Doesn't mention that he wants to stick with us for all the faith we showed over the years. His return on investment has been shocking. With all his injuries, suspensions and inconsistent form.. I can only remember one good game (Sharks, 2021).

Glad we found King who is much better player and probably on a quarter or his salary.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

I wouldn't, we have seen the best of him in Australia. He has to improve 300% to be the wish version of Jammer.

Not worth it, we saw enough for years at 750k plus. Time to move on and not be a clingy ex.

 

[Cappuccino]

Oh look more excuses
I can't play because I injured myself in pre season
Oh wait I can't play this week I had to hit someone high
Nah mate can't play cause I gotta eye gouge another player
Imagine what we could land with his dollars considering he'd be the last one in the squad on Lynne Money

Exactly. He is a step back when we are moving forward.

this is true it does sound like he is justifying his pay cheque.

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Exactly. He is a step back when we are moving forward.

If he were to sign a long term deal with another club. I can see us freeing a top 30 spot for a mid season signing. I really wanted him to do well.

 

[bulldogsmyte]

Blah blah blah....

We've heard this bullshit every year.

Was he ever a force to begin with?

 

[Doggiezbrah]

Jwh would be good for our forwards

A Gus type of signing. An experienced player to help lead the younger players for a season or two. Should of kept Vaughan.

 

[The DoggFather]

He was good in ESL, but that's equal to NRL reserves

 

[CQDog]

Theres no way I’m resigning Thompson

I think he wants to stay with us... But my guess is he may have been told to look elsewhere. In the right forward pack where he's an accessory and not the leader / play 1 forward he would do really well. Storm would be the best place for him if they keep NAS.

 

[boggie23]

This was his redemption year. After spending more time off the field than on it he was supposed to be going out to payback the years of mediocrity.

On his day he was good. But those days surrounded by suspensions, concussions and injuries. He didn’t even make it to the start line this season. Sometimes you just cut your losses. If he makes it back this year it will be huge boost to our pack and he can audition for a nrl spot. But only way he stays at the dogs is on half his packet. And I havent Seen many Players that would do that. Between him and pangai we are 1.8m in cap space and have had 0 to show for it this year. Can’t believe we have 3 wins to our name. That’s good to see. With some decent fit forwards and a better 7 and 1 we are knocking on the door of the 4.

@Flanagun this guy needs your support

English forwards make our forwards look like pussies, Fam.

Poor bugger… another bloke who gets hammered for sweating and bleeding for us.

And eye gauging, don't forget the gauging.
