BS you can’t blame a player for taking the money. They have a limited time as pro footballer and they should make as much as the possibly can.
If he read TK why would he stay with all the ‘supporters’ comments here
Bs mate.
I’ve been in a contact sport a period of my life and I disagree there.
Money is one thing but let’s be honest. Thompsons contract is arguably as bad as trez or Napa for us. We have supported him in hard times with family, suspensions, head knocks etc. he’s been a liability for us and it’s not like he’s short changed after milking us for a few mil and barely playing.
If that was me I’d feel I owe the club something on their return. Not saying do it for free. Though I believe if he was a genuine bloke like say Jackson he would say to the club I’ve been a horrible few years here and don’t want to be remembered for that and milking the club. Give me a low 1-2 year deal and let me earn my next pay packet.
Flop again? I’m sure esl clubs will pay through the nose for him still. Deliver remotely near his current pay packet he will have nrl clubs and us included wanting to pay.
Jackson would of had several clubs offer more than he had with us in his prime. Never left. No different there.
Like Munster did with storm over dolphins etc sure there’s tons of blokes like it.
Thurston with cowboys.
Gallen with sharks.
Lots of these guys loved the club and wanted to repay them for the chance or the times they stuck with them.
Thompson running off for $ now says alot about his character to me when he hasn’t earned 1/4 of his wage here.
