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
"Yep outside backs are hopeless at this club. Alamadine has a dev contract next year and isn't not JF eligible next year. So that means he will get a nsw cup spot on the wing next year. He should be in RM next year. That's his level."
"Twiddle had a offer from us based on where he is in his career.
Perth offered more. Api has talent in attack but has always struggled in defence .
Definitely prefer to keep him Matt Hunter left us last year i wush we kept him.
"Lorenzo won SG ball player of the year as a 6 last year when he was competing with the likes of Reed, Woods, and other elite junior prospects. People like Chief are just in the mood of bashing the club down. They can only think at the surface level…"

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.
