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
"Yehaz, now EA could correct me, but now it seems the next crop coming into NRL are primarily forwards, it seems from HM to first year SG ball players our backs could be stronger.
I know we have Bell, Polley and Capovilla, but with the likes of…"
"Though you know my opinion of a blocked path in NRL. I agree he could very well make his start in the League at Wing or Centre or even Five-Eighth IF he develops enough. Though EA would know more if he could or not.

"There's already a lot of scientific evidence to suggest that we do not have any imaginary friends, so more evidence won't make any difference to the people of faith.

"What if another club want to start. His path is, dear I say it around you, blocked as a Fullback. As a back-up he is fine but if a club is willing to give him a start he would take it.
I think Lorenzo is seen as an option but if someone like…"

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.
