His on a bit but if you can get a halfback with class would you let Elliot and Thompson go and get a half and another forward
Only way I’d let him walk is getting a match winner in return.
Storm didn’t let Foxx go. They are digging their heels in with cheese, only allowing him to go for a like for like replacement (which I think is great management)
I know I’m bias but I’d consider thommo one of the best middle forwards in the league. His motor, his speed, his work rate. Not on the same level as jammer, but best player in our squad for the last 2 years.
For a game changing hooker then definitely you’d consider moving him. But even then we would need 2 props to replace him. And I doubt that would fit under his salary. Elliot, Jackson, RFM are bigger salary thieves for their level of return. Jackson should be a 300k player on the cap, Elliot shouldn’t be seeing the money he is. And RFM we still don’t know if he is a consistent first grader because of his injuries.
If Elliot and thommo could deliver say a jarome Hughes (think he extended) or a cheese, or a (struggling to think of another decent half that isn’t Pearce) and say someone like Spence leniu, or a fisher Harris (both extended) then sure. Even if you could get a brailey brother then sure because you are getting a young talent in a spine position. But for Ben Hunt and Matt lodge then I’d rather keep thommo. I think with a better front row partner we will see him lift his game again. Just need to keep him on the field.
