Bulldogs pull out of race for Leo Thompson

Posted by LB on December 18, 2024 at 7:33am

The club that were favourites to sign Knights prop Leo Thompson have confirmed he will not be joining Canterbury. Leaving Canberra, Parramatta, St. George Illawarra and dark horse Sydney City in the chase for him.

His partner is from ACT which makes Canberra the favourites but it is good for us if we are interested in Thompson as media says we are. Have connections with Dylan Brown, who he is mates with from NZ duties.

    Way overs.
    
    500k tops until he proves he is worth more.

      Statistically he is okay but I wouldn't say dominate, 500 - 600 seems to a better right amount supply and demand says otherwise

    700 I'd say yes

      Not currently worth 700k
