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
"So I gather you are happy with his injuries post Origin on every occasion he has played. Yes granted rep level honours is important for a player and for his NRL clubs squad development too. However at 32 years of age and his inability to play a…"
"NO.If he doesnt play on Monday then he doesnt play origin. How can our club be happy that he is focusing on his fitness for Origin. Further if he is then out after Origin then that stinks and poor poor form from Moses."
"Nanva is a back up. Russel is gone and has been not as good this year anyway. Penisni is going backwards. I like Simmo bt he is always injured. Kelly is a more rocks than diamonds. Samarani is more of a future backrower but given his performance and…"
"Chiefy, if Sarantinos has been at the Eels since 2016 and O'Neil since 2018, can you tell us how that adds up to "46 years of failures under Sarantinos and O'Neil"?
Enquiring mathematicians want to know. "

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.
