He plays hard but runs too straight and fast into the line. He uses no footwork and never looks to offload, fend or hit and spin..

He almost never puts a shot on in defence or intimidates anyone. He's the opposite of James Graham.. He's just another forward. If any club will pay more than half of his deal, Gus should move him on. King is outperforming him and he's on the minimum this season.

Honestly so many more glaring issues than Thompson. Would be decent with the right coach. Just the whole thing is beyond frustrating. I saw this coming as soon as bowed out of the semis way back when.

Cream puff forward of napa standard. F u k off.
You have really forgotten how bad Napa was. You need to forget Thompson is on that amount of money as it’s not his fault they offered him that.
Goes hard, tries hard and what you see is what you get love it or hate it.

Him and Jackson are the cap robbers on bad deals.

Don’t think his defence is up to it mate. First up contact woeful and not enough lateral movement for edge defence.
didnt he have his best game for us against sharks last year playing at lock/edge

Oh geez mate take your pick of all the bad / quiet ones he’s had since. FYI he plays middle every week which is where the lock defends. That last game against sharks last year was round 7 that’s a light year ago.. look at his first up contact it’s just not strong enough. Would rather Max King start like last week.
