Opinion Thompson

[Scoooby]

Yes Corey did say fuck you lol.!!

 

[the_insider]

I think the 3 big issues are his running style, leg drive and lack of late footwork. He seems to just run it straight at the defender despite lacking the pure mass of a big c***, he also doesn't seem well balanced/braced for contact and the defenders just easily fold him. If he does manage to withstand the impact he then lacks the leg drive to support himself and either push through the contact or push away from the defender and get an offload away.

Anyway there's a few things they can defenitely work on during the off/preseason, just a little disappointing because a player on his coin should already be capable of certain things

That's a good observation, there's a big difference between footwork and late footwork especially for forwards. He's good at charging into the line at full speed but the post contact metres need work

If another team scored a try against us like that you would be wringing your head off! It wasn't a try! It was a double movement!!!

no that was momentum in my eyes!! anyway great game by Thompson

 

[Natboy]

Even if this is true or not... Still doesn't change the fact that you were wrong about Pay being better than Holbrook lol

When did I ever say that?

 

[Natboy]

Don't bother with Nutboy, c*** too busy sucking off his mates

Hahaha says the negative little soccer bitch.
Georgalis is the GOAT? You silly little weak ****

RFM was our best on field.

Has been for a few weeks in my opinion.

Like i said from the start Thompson is not a bash and barge player he would be better suited as an edge player in the Nrl.
Barrett will have him running good lines and offloading next year.

He has been many times this year.. he was also severely bagged by several kennelers in the past few years...

I've watched abit of him in ESL and to be honest I've never really seen any of that in his game, he's drifted wider at certain stages but I've never really seen a genuine offloading game, he wasn't really a bash and barge player because he routinely ran straight through some pretty mediocre defence which is common over there

 

[Haddaway]

I've come to the conclusion this guy will never be fully liked by TK, no matter how he plays. It will always be something lol.

Just another day on TK .

 

[Haddaway]

Just another day on TK .

Yeah. Ill admit it, I do it aswell, no matter how good a player I think is not up to it plays. Ill either wait untill they play crap or begrudgingly give them a wrap.

People are funny sometimes lol.

Wait. Actually quantifying and owning a position?? That’s NOT an ordinary day on TK .

Yeah its a whole different game here then the esl he's not strong enough or big enough to be through the middle.
He's greatest attribute is his leg speed,with the right coach players can be transformed in using their skill sets.

Waiting for the popcorn to arrive for the @korrmatta1 & @2144superman forum fight.

No late footwork, no offload, no tackle breaking ability...oh how exciting

 

[Flanagun]

Elliott is on about half the money Thompson is and was one of our best prior to his injury. Weird comparison, tbh.

I'm not comparing the two that way.

I'm comparing them in the way that it doesn't matter what Elliot does, ill always be an ass or begrudgingly give him his dues.

Just like Thompson, you watch next year if he plays well he will still be shit on. That was the comparison.
