Agree he would be a great captain.
It would free up widdop to just play his game.
Also Tommo is at easy when talking to media.
I have a feeling Gareth would prefer less of thst side as well.

100% John moz. Yesterday's try was all aggression and 10/10 for last weeks try.

True leader and gees the players up and leads from the front. Seems as thought he has eased off with his defensive workload and less stress to the body.

Good choice but I'd still put JDB in front of him for captain.

 

[Red V for life]

I've always liked Thommo. I like how he goes about his business on the field and off it.

A true leader and would be worth holding on to. He'd provide invaluable guidance to the up and comers.

 

[denis preston]

One thing that Thommo would be smiling about is the change in fullback. Dufty has the defence second guessing and Widdorp plays the cutoff / straight pass option that Thommo is benefiting from.

Widdop->Thompson has been better than Hornby->Creagh

Widdop->Thompson has been better than Hornby->Creagh

I wouldn't go that far. The Hornby, Creagh Boyd left side combination took us to a premiership.

This guy?

 

[Dr Fruitbasket Returns]

Come on dudes, he's not that good. He's late twenties, has never played rep football and has been a much a part of the team when it's been rubbish as when it beats another rubbish team like the Gold Coast. He's passionate. Some of the time. He's far from the weakest link. But he's a reliable first grader at his very best. He occasionally goes missing.

Unsure if sarcasm. if not, you have lost your mind

I agree with Fruitbasket, as usual. Thompson is ok. Scored a decent try yesterday but overall has been merely ok.

Not bringing fullbacks into it but you've probably ignored that the Hornby->Creagh short ball was figured out very quickly by opposition defences yet they persisted with it for years afterwards.

I agree...I can't understand all the love for Thommo...He's a reliable first grader but that's about it. If he ran like Tyson, and broke tackles like Tyson, he'd be on a different level.

 

[Frank Facer]

I still think that Host will be a better edge forward than Thompson by next year.

Well, that's arguable (the combo was still yielding tries even in 2011)... but even if it were mildly true, they still produced far more tries, and wins, than Widdop/Thompson has (and possibly ever will)

 

[Crush]

Pound for pound Thompson is as tough as they come. I have sat on the sidelines at player level and watched how much harder he tackles than the other blokes. Hes a fierce, competitive bastard and what he lacks in flair he makes up for in aggression.
Love the Thommo. Make him captain.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

I love Thommo, i've always thought he should at least have the VC under his belt.

However, Host is coming through very nicely. That game Host played on the left edge when Thommo was out injured was a classy game for the kid, he really showcased his ability.

There's also another bloke called Angus Crichton coming off contract at the same time as Thommo. For me Crichton has far more upside than signing Thompson long term. Younger, stronger, faster, more skilful and the world at his feet. If we targeted him with a long term contract I think we might have a chance of picking him up. The things I would do to sign him.... As i've made obvious in other threads.
