What position does this lad play?
Mainly prop but played at lock for England against New Zealand last year.

Bennett obviously rates him. If Greenberg hands Souths a million to spend then it wouldn't surprise me to see them and other clubs make offers. He is highly touted.

The Bulldogs are set to chase the man rated as the best forward in England: Luke Thompson.

Desperate for more muscle up front, the Bulldogs have targeted Thompson, who at just 23 has already racked up more than 130 games for St Helens and four Tests for England.

The young giant was the star of Great Britain’s Test series win over the Kiwis late last year and has a big future in the game.

But he won’t be easy to lure down under - St Helens are trying to extend his deal and several big-spending English clubs also have their eyes on him.

If they do get him, though, he will give Dean Pay’s pack a massive boost in coming years.

If we are after his signature it won't happen, for some reason our team always miss out.

I hope we lock him down now before other clubs get a sniff. If he’s as good as Bateman then our team will improve big time

Looks like the videos are sped up when they run.. looks like what Damien Cook would if he was a prop.

Not getting excited because probably won't happen.

When do we ever sign the player we're rumoured to be getting?

What's the bet we show interest and start talks and then another club swoops in and gazumps us like usual?

I can't even remember a signing we talked about and got? Maybe Sharon?

It’s all bs... the only way we land him is if he wants to play nrl and loves the dogs Hahahahah which I highly doubt. A lot of rich clubs in super league are chasing him and if he did decide to head down under im sure Souths or roosters will snap him up

Maybe Graham could vouch for us to him?

After we kicked him to the curb, doubt it. If graham was still our captain I’d prob say we have a better chance... :(
Yeah I know, I think we would still love our club though or atleast I hope he does. Old mate back at St Helens no doubt would have kept an eye on Graham trail blazing with us??

Mate I posted in another thread between flicking him and ennis our captains was the beginning of the end for us. Then when renoylds left it was the final straw. Graham till this day would prob love to still captain our side. He always spoke highly of the dogs and loved our club to bits.

All this new board does is chase people.
Chases them off to other clubs.
