Official Dogs sign Leo Thompson (2026)

Name a (good) player that has chosen a up and coming club over $$$$$

Fox. Which is why it’s sad how it ended. Sure he got paid but could have got it at numerous other clubs and came to us at our lowest. Always gotta respect him for that,

at the time only us and Tiger were linked to him
 
I dunno why people believe it’s 600k or 800k or 900k…

Just last week hunt was wanting 800k to him saying never happened?

We offered papen millions ? To Gus saying nothing was offered…

Media have no fucking idea. Especially when it comes to us.
 
We should change the title of this thread.
I think Canberra are considered the favourite to sign him based on all media reports.
 
We have to be favs as far as winning comps goes and better weather. Only thing that would swing it the Raiders way is money. Would they really offer 150K-200K a season more than us when they're already stacked for forwards?

I’m mainly quoting that in we apparently upgraded offer to around $600k but othered offering $750-800ish if rumours right

Ive thought all along $500-600k would be fair but if somebody offered more than that then he would be silly too knock it back

Between raiders and dogs neither are really closer to us for a comp win, all pretty much level so it’s gotta be more lifestyle based with going back towards family in Canberra

Retention wise I’ll still hold out to see what they can do replacement wise for Leo, they might yet pull a magic rabbit out of a hat and we are all nodding our heads and saying great work

Media have more idea than us and that's all we can go off. All speculation is in regards to that. It just creates discussion.

Having more idea than no idea isn’t much mate.

Media and journalists have contacts in and around clubs so they have a lot more idea.

So far the media has been made to look like
Fucking clowns with us mate.

Saying they have more sources than most that have none isn’t much.

We've been active in the market and missed a lot of targets for one reason or another.

I'd be filthy as a Knights fan if Raiders got Thompson. Tapine was a Knights junior.

Moses Leota is better than Tino & Tapine.

Hard to argue, depends what your team needs I guess. For our pack id say we'd get more value out of Leota compared to the other two.

The Raiders can have Thompson for big dollars - we will take one their middles with them tipping in some freight.

The Raiders claim they are after Thompson to replace Papalii who is supposed to be retiring after 2025.
