He just got subbed at the 32nd mark good first hit out
He is back on the field now.He just got subbed at the 32nd mark good first hit out
His really not all that.. In 4 games I have never seen the bloke break a tackle apart from on his highlight reel and gets chopped down fairly easily in one on ones.. I reckon Walmsley, David Fafita and Kasiano do more damage in the ESL compared to Thompson.Watching the game live now saints vs Salford Thompson still on the field and at the 28th minute he made a cover tackle on a winger better then any of our backs can make lol jks but honestly he is impressive at club leave but I haven’t seen him make this impact playing for England vs the Aussies.
I don’t think the penny has dropped there hahaDon't you mean PIN drop........
Yeah I kinda agree, but Thompson has a big motor and jammer never really broke tackles either so I’m keen to take a punt on him.His really not all that..

Yeah though Jammer was a plodder and Thompson gets dominated in tackles very easily just like Graham. We need a damaging metre eater like u said Murdoch Masilla and I was actually thinking about him this morning and thought some other club picked him up but no nothing.Yeah I kinda agree, but Thompson has a big motor and jammer never really broke tackles either so I’m keen to take a punt on him.
And mate ben murdoch masila goes alright as well loved the run he did the other night on Gburgers he absolutely Buried him in the turf I kinda felt a little happy since he done the same thing to Trex in the 2014 GF not the fact that Trex didn’t deserve it but that was the game changer of the match.
Thompson is the forward we need. He's a mobile hard working front rower who doesn't get dominated ... Napa and Renouf should be our bench front rowers so we need to sign a damaging metre eater to start with him if we are lucky enough to get him in the first place. Not many good front rowers off contract in the next 2 seasons anyway sadly only one I'd take looking at the zero tackle lists is Frizzell and try entice him to play up frontYeah though Jammer was a plodder and Thompson gets dominated in tackles very easily just like Graham.

I had a look at a few of the lists for this years season and not many teams have gone shopping and if anything their lists have weakened. Plenty of clubs looking to blood youth this year so hopefully some good young props come through that we can throw the bank at.
Agree, if we have in fact missed out on Thompson Frizzell would be a great target. He'd want a bit of coin but worth it.Thompson is the forward we need.

RFH? I'm guessing your meant JFH? Wouldn't touch him, just another player in the same sort of mould of what we already have plenty of. Jackson should really be playing a similar role to him at lock for us.Agree, if we have in fact missed out on Thompson Frizzell would be a great target. He'd want a bit of coin but worth it.
We have some coming through, Renouf for sure be great, happy enough with Napa starting. Cant see Tolman getting extended. Not many on the list bar maybe Tamou. RFH would be another target.
Why do you say that bro? Curious cause JFH plays big minutes can break the line and hit hard. He’s also a lot bigger physically than Jacko. Not suggesting JFH should be a key target but I can see plus side in having him over some of our current forward if we were ever interested.RFH? I'm guessing your meant JFH?

He made 3 line breaks and broke 24 tackles last season, he's hardly the explosive ball runner we need through the middle. I have no doubt in my mind that Jackson would produce similar numbers if he played a full season at lock.Why do you say that bro? Curious cause JFH plays big minutes can break the line and hit hard.

Fisher Harris is a work horse. Any club would benefit from him.Why do you say that bro? Curious cause JFH plays big minutes can break the line and hit hard.

25 offloads too.. and there isn’t a stat that measures how hard someone tackles but fair point I am also a fan of Jacko at lock in the middle so hopefully that’s where he ends up this year.RFH?

Lol yeah sorry.RFH? I'm guessing your meant JFH? Wouldn't touch him, just another player in the same sort of mould of what we already have plenty of. Jackson should really be playing a similar role to him at lock for us.
Absolutely. Would love to have him here.Fisher Harris is a work horse. Any club would benefit from him.
I heard he wanted to come to the bulldogs because he’s close with dwz and chn
Hitting hard means very little these days, players aren't scared of a hard hit not to mention it very rarely results in an error or injury. Just being strong at contact and being able to hold the player is more than good enough these days with wrestling.25 offloads too.. and there isn’t a stat that measures how hard someone tackles but fair point I am also a fan of Jacko at lock in the middle so hopefully that’s where he ends up this year.
Yh he's a good player and one of the best at what he does, just don't see him as a must need signing for us that would make a major impact unless we're scrapping a heap of our roster.Lol yeah sorry.
And no don't want to lose Jackson. Just like his aggression as well. Quality player.
Seriously wouldn't consider Thompson a metre eater and he constantly gets dominated... He is easily tackled one on one and I actually haven't seen a front rower get chopped down so easily in a long time like he does. If your seriously after a metre eater who can stand in tackles of two or three then Walmsley is definitely the better option for a couple of years until the prop stocks reform.Thompson is the forward we need.

Can see both sides of this one for a player like him. Wouldn't be upset if we got him or not tbh, that's if we can keep what we have coming through aswell. Jackson, CHN, Stimpson, RFM, Renouf, Topine etc all cut it for me.Yh he's a good player and one of the best at what he does, just don't see him as a must need signing for us that would make a major impact unless we're scrapping a heap of our roster.
