Got to give the bloke a wrap he was outstanding in the first half gassed a little in the second half but he’s the most positive thing that’s happened to the club for a long time.
Love your work mate

He was running decoys left right and center, wouldn't be surprised attributed to him being gassed a bit earlier then he should have.

To be fair if we had a dummy half with vision he would have received the ball on most of those runs - I'm sure he wasn't running up saying give it to tolman I'm decoy.

Yeah would love to see him get the ball close to the line runs hard plenty of leg drive, i really like him hopefully we can build the pack around him.

It was frustrating seeing Napa and Tolman push in front of him or JMK/Katoa ignoring him for a few sets in a row multiple times....

I'd like to see him play a bit wider on certain plays so he can use his speed and footwork against outside men more. As it was he had to run into three middle forwards off the back of slow play the balls.

He hasn't had a tackle bust or offload in two games so hopefully he can show more of that as we know he has the ability. His aggression and attitude have been great and it's positive early signs. Hopefully he's utlitised better moving forward.

As good as he has been, we aren't gonna maximise his potential playing the way we do, he needs to play on the team that can get on the front foot and let him use his speed, footwork and aggression.

Yeah I think after a few games he’ll start demanding the ball .
He impressed me with his kick chase in the first half it helped lift the whole side

Hope he doesn't realise what a dud team he's signed up to, and heads back home before the end of the season.

He is killing it early on, the guy hits the ball up hard as and bends the defensive line everytime! Something we’ve been lacking for several years... happy days ahead lads.

Its so obvious he is by far the best forward we have but was taking hitups after the other slow pokes.

I am just in need to have a favourite doggies player. Thompson I like what I have seen so far. Just a few games he is a stand out from the rest.

I'm hoping he becomes the leader of the forward brigade.
Toomaga rfm ogden sue will follow good leadership and thrive.
