Why do we have to keep Tolman though? This could be the perfect opportunity to try and pinch some contracted players?
We don’t but we will keep him if we don’t sign somebody else. I reckon at this stage he’ll probably still come. There is a lot less cases over here than there is in the UK Europe so as long as he doesn’t bring it with him. Why not...

I’m more worried about whether we will have the money to re-sign King Elliott.

80% of the league are grubs. Every team needs them.
To a point. I’d never be able to cheer for a bloke that kicked his wife in the stomach.
Plus Manly picked him up after St Merge sacked him which makes me dislike him even more

No point (actually suicide on the cap) signing Thompson if he isn't going to take a pay cut. He'd be on absurd money compared to other players in the league. It's already rumoured he is (using the current salary cap).

AFB .. YES PLEASE
We needed to make that signing instead of Napa. He just had a monstrous year the season before. Napa or AFB for 650k? No brainer.

Well what are his options stay in ESL and probably take a pay cut anyway?

It'll depend what the situation is like over there. If he comes here he has to take a pay cut tho (and it could be up to 40% depending how long the league is out for).

Not really they are in lock down in the UK too mate season suspended also no return date. So his facing a heavy cut on an already smaller salary there anyway. We would still be in a better position.

That’s what I was thinking.
Great player, but not exactly what we need, right now.
I'm just so cold on him now. I wanted another prop but he just doesn't look like the type we need. We need a big boy that will skittle defenders and and build momentum while Thompson looks like the type that will do the damage after that big boy has built momentum.

He will compliment a Fafita type of player.

I guess we will just have to wait and see, pretty much all the English forwards that have come out have been physically dominant and Thompson seems to be rated the highest out of that lot. I

Yes really. It'll depend what the situation is like over there. If he comes here he'll have to take a pay cut. Not sure how you start your sentence with "not really".
