Few here saying he will stay at Newcastle, issue is they have no money to really extend him further apparently. Media are basically saying they might have to let him go if he wants to as they have no coin at all. They can afford him on his current rate but Thompson, rightfully so, wants double.
Knights recruitment boss Peter O’Sullivan only joined the club mid-season and has made re-signing Thompson one of his priorities to build a title contender in the coming seasons.
O’Sullivan has reportedly offered Thompson an upgrade for 2025 and an extension, but Thompson will wait to see what else is out there
"No I'm not, I'm asking you how long does the club accept poor performance before doing something decisive. It's a simple question.
For me that time has already come but there has been no action from the club at this point, surely another poor…"
"JC, appreciate the question mate. You’re not really asking about accountability, change or improvement: ongoing things I fully support.
You’re asking about sackings. Heads on a pike.
There are already more than enough people talking about that and…"
"Well sure but if we was going to Penrith why didn't he go in the first place? They badly wanted him. Hell reports were the reason they settled on Blaize, after missing on Galvin, was due to them thinking they could get Ryda as well.
Could he join…"
"I'm just thinking more if he is going to end up going to Penrith anyway we should try get something back for him. Would it surprise you if he pops up in Penrith?"

Chooks gotta be favorite.
Followed by: Dogs, Riff and Dargons.
Could just all be a way to get more money out of Newy though, his brother is going to join him in Newy so would be surprised if he leaves.
Unless Riff offers his brother a Dev deal with top 30 in 2026.
Still obsessed with BEMs idea of trading Gutho and Hunt. If we are going to let our best player go we should atleast get something out of it.
Issue with Hunt theory is he would not go to another Sydney club to play Hooker. If he was to leave Dragons it is back to Queensland also.
I would love to get Hunt as a Hooker, just works out so well. But better chance of seeing Aliens land at Commbank to be fair.
He would be a good replacement for Reg but not a priority.
I think he will stay at the Knights.
