News Luke Thompson injury

[DogsOfWar1704]

Isn’t Napa scratching around Sydney looking for a gig? He owes us plenty so he’d have to play for free. I feel so dirty joking about this lol

Train and trial with the rorters

 

[D.O.W.]

I’m just going to say what I think most people are saying in this thread, without the availability of our key big men, we’re screwed this week in particular - Manly will froth at the mouth at this news.

TPJ and Thompson are huge outs vs Manly.

I actually think we need to start Pele and bring in Patolo if fit. Id say CC goes with Davey though.

likely CC forward and bench:
King
Mahoney
Sutton
Kikau
RFM
Davey

Brown
Preston
Wadell
Pele

Disappointed for Thommo, pretty sure he’s had a huge pre season and was looking forward to playing his best footy for us, hope this doesn’t keep him out for to long ..

SMH reporting Gus requesting to bring in a player outside our top 30 into the top 30 (exemption, limited time) with Thompson going down.

Letting Vaughan go looks even more crazy now

Love to know who the genius was that made that decision. Just pathetic.

So many gaping holes in our roster still. People really need to lower their expectations. We are going to be steam rolled and dominated in the forwards yet again. Another 5 year plan anyone?

The person who made the decision is named PAUL VAUGHAN

Fuck me. No doubt last session and we lose the bloke who has probably the most to prove to us along with flopagun. With tpj out it really hurts. He did look good in trial but fuck me this **** has been a shit signing (we bag Foran for his injuries and while it’s unlucky it’s a ankle injury it s just fucking typical with him to be on the sideline) let’s hope only minor and back asap

 

[CQDog]

Thank god the Knicks are absolutely shredding before Bulldog depression hits

He was low balled by the club and decided to walk you mean? He's still a better front rower than anyone we currently have.

The guy is a machine, one of our best recruits in 2022 along with Burto.

Bad luck for Thompson. He was looking good in the trials and would have played big minutes with us already light up front.

Now with him and TPJ injured, we're really struggling short term.. Hopefully he's not out long term..

Sutton and RFM will have to play big minutes in the middle. At least we know Preston is ready for a starting role on the edge. Pele will have to step up now too..

 

[Hound Dog]

I really want to see how RFM is at prop, the way he moves laterally, would be more suited in the middle. Just don't danced around too much mate, you're captain now, lead from in front brother

 

[BahaMan]

Can Davey play front row??

What about Tanner, he's undersized compared to others but has a bit o a motor on him. Wonder if he could get a crack?

If only we still had Ava...

Tanner a Plodder imo

Pele is nothing more than a 10 minute a half impact forward. Sutton is average. We are screwed in the middle. Thompson and TPJ are chewing up way too much cap space to be constantly on the sideline.

 

[Vlasnik]

Manly get Turbo back, while we lose Thomo.....que the clown music

 

[(((((SMACK)))))]

Nu Brown starting

 

[hackenbush]

Sliding doors, an opportunity for someone else to step up & show CC they are FG material.

From what I’ve pieced together his BFF car pooling buddy Dufty was heading over there and he roped him in to going with him …

He didn’t want to re-sign ..
