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
"I wonder if we could find a way to utilise JACs speed in the middle somewhere. Not full time just a bit of licence to roam and sit on Volk or Mitch's hip.
I think you're being a little tough on CG. There's a player there. You also have to remember…"
"I think with the introduction of the new rules, dominating possession is a must, and that means less risky offloads and more power runs. Jason Taumoulolo is a good example his best year
Bigger more powerful forwards like Mataele who just runs it…"
"Penrith don't really score long range tries but they are the absolute best at scoring off the play after a line break or 2 plays after. Volk has impressed me since coming in. Got some issues in defence but what young half coming into 1st grade…"
"Yes, I have noticed that as well, but some would say quick enough not withstanding...LOL
Parra has always seemed to play well against them for those reasons, against some of the other sides, we have never had speed to match them. I think a strong…"

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.
