Try this, it’s not that hard to recognise Thompson’s skill sets, what he contributes to the StHelens’ and England teams as a prop. Obviously, noting those skill sets, he has been identified by more than one NRL club as a high quality recruit. So it’s pretty stupid to endlessly complain about what he doesn’t bring when it’s farkin obvious that that’s not what he was recruited for. Forwards, the whole 9 of them in the rotation, have to compliment and supplement each other. With Thompson added I believe that we have a pretty decent 80 minute rotation, with a good mix of skills (with the possible exception of hooker, yet to be determined). Keeping it simple, is swapping Thompson’s minutes for Toleman an upgrade, FARK YES.
