Soward goes but Thompson comes

[nrlnrl]

agree he has some ability but do you rate him at 440k a season? especially since this is 90k a season more then what we let Beau Scott leave for?

looks like we won't have to worry about the $$

beau scott was injury prone last year and continues to be so at Newcastle.

Beau Scott had lost the plot before we got rid of him, he was unmotivated, making silly errors and getting frustrated in games. No doubt losing him left a huge hole, but he really needed a fresh start, or Wayne.. or both.

i think his form was suffering up until he had his future secure, probably was playing on his mind.. Scott was quite good the second half of last season.

As a raider supporter as soon as we went all in to re sign Papalii I expected to lose Thompson. We can't afford to have over a million a year in the backrow.

Yeah Pete, one or the other unfortunately for you guys.

Papa is a splitting image of Frizell for mine. They are both axes. Now we have JT to go with it.

Thanks very much.

More likely they'll look to play him at Centre for at least the first year...
