He's closer to Hughes than he is King.

Yeah a starting prop for the Kiwis is just slightly better than Hughes... You're hilarious. Thompson has been better than both Saifiti brothers the past 2 seasons & they are way better than Hughes.

It gives us another middle around King's level, but I think King is slightly better. Thompson's worth 500-600k so depending how much overs we paid will determine if this is a good signing or not, at least less wiggle room for Thompson to perform every week, when you're on big money he's going to have to step up.

From the reports I've seen the only $ Thompson is forgoing is his upgrade from Knight this year. He needs to be taking a significant decrease from the Raider offer as that was ridiculous.

King is also 3 years older than Leo. Leo in 3 years time will be WAY better than King is now.

The Saifiti brothers aren't a good bench mark

I stand corrected! And for lesser money. Just wish it was for this year

It's possible that if Sutton returns and shows some, early form, Gus might be able to swap him for Thompson early in the new year

Played Origin & have taken the Knights to the finals 3 out of the past 4 seasons. If they weren't doing their job then Ponga wouldn't be able to do his.

Also both are way better than Hughes.

That's all in the past, he's been not that great for at least 2 seasons now. Klemmer was better than all of them at Knight.
 
GREAT news and even better that he KNOCKED back the bigger offer from the Raiders as I thought he was just another mercenary and using our team for more money, so at least we know he wants to come for development and a premiership... now just imagine if we also signed Josiah Pahulu, that would be some pack ... go the might BULLDOGS let's get EXCITED y'all ...

Everyone cracking Joel but what about @Utility and @Dogs4EVA-1 ? Thought Gus was done boys and we couldn't land anyone?

Not what I said at all. I said Gus had recently missed a number of key targets… and that is true. To his credit, he finally got a big fish. Switch to regular caffeinated, mate. Will make the world of difference to your basic comprehension skills lol.

If you want to talk about 180s let’s talk about how people who were saying Thompson is overrated and not worth the investment a few short weeks ago are now jumping for joy and doing cartwheels lol.
