The Rumours Thread

Was a fabulous player and by all reports a better person.

Never got his name in the papers for the wrong reasons.

Apparently it's out of Raiders and Dogs for Leo Thompson

Don't let the door hit you on the way out

You might be surprised

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Don’t be surprised to see the Chooks swoop for both Thompson’s from 2026

Do tell!

Roosters get him.

If the Raiders are offering a reported $850K to $900K for Thompson, that money will be hard to knock back.

I think we could offer that money aswell to be honest.

Is he worth 900k? I don't know with the current salary cap. I wouldn't mind if it was 900k for 3yrs. We have to pay overs & take a risk somewhere.

One way to look at it is to ask if we would get the same value out of him that we hope to get from Gutho (who is on something like $900k). It is doubtful.

Gutho $2.5m 3 yrs reportedly. Flanno said he wont get into a bidding war. AFB on a $1mill or slightly less per season..reportedly.
What has Thompson done to be worth $850-900K yet?
Raiders must be paying Tapine $1.1+? which i doubt to pay Thompson that for 40-50 mins a game. Ridiculous money ATM

Interesting intel

lodge was told thanks but not thanks by the guru coach

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Which guru…Bennett or Flanno?
I get the sense we have a lot of faith in big Loko and a fitter and hungrier Vili Fifita

Its sh#t or get off the pot time for Fifita, he has everything physically going for him if he is hungry enough he will be a regular first grader.

Wayne

 

[JubileeJeffro]

SuA and the other forward leaders need to push him hard in pre season. The spot is his to grab, its whether he has the hunger

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Loko hasn't even started putting on serious muscle yet

he will be a beast in the next couple years !!!!

good work Basil and Ben with the recruitment of Latu, Loki and Halangahu

Wasn’t it Kyle Stanley?

 

[VodkaSaint]

Is this legit?

[Auntie.Gerald]

Imagine if we do get Leo

and remembering his brother only signed a one year deal for 2025

so they could both be available for 2026
