@possm Will be VERY excited! And I hope he has good reason to be! I don't think Thompson will be short of clubs trying to sign him though. Might as well have a go Flano.
Flano met with Thompson and now Thompson has decided not to stay at the Knights. I'd say we are in with a good chance of signing him.

Joh as in Joh Bjelke-Petersen!?! You've got rocks in your head if you think there were no compromised legal deals during his time. His regime was full of corrupt, sweet heart deals for connected people.
I’d rather have sweetheart deals than footy players on the whack driving their road tractors into 9 year kids.

The sentence doesn’t protect the public, it does the exact opposite.

The judge should hand in his gavel.

the most corrupt government in Australian history
Paul Keating says hello from his job working for The Chinese Development Bank.These are the people we are spending $600m to stop with NRL in PNG.

"Australia in Asia" indeed.

Nick Greiner says hello from his variety of posts and directorships with banks and private and public infrastructure companies and firms such as TransUrban Limited (toll roads and highways) while - along with his great "opponent" Bob Carr - continuing to put his hand in the taxpayer's pocket for $1/4 million a year for offices, drivers, etc.

When will people finally realize that they are ALL crooks and are ALL in on it together?

I think you missed my point. This & more happened under the Bjelke-Petersen regime. Read the history and forget the mythology.
Joh was tough on crime though. He even used to arrest peaceful protesters.

So that was my context.

Mams magistrate isn’t corrupt.

No conviction in those circumstances is astonishing.

I’ve heard of sovereign citizens, now a world first for Qld the “sovereign magistrate.”

The state should run a tourism campaign for the Mexican cartels or whatever.

I believe it might well be.
It would certainly be a veeeery nice Xmas present for the fans , not to mention the team itself . However I find the news a bit to hard to believe , more so that none of the major media outlets have reported the signing - but we can live in hope .

That there was ! It is not common knowledge , however the production of large brown paper bags increased dramatically during his time at the top of the Queensland banana tree .

I got that information from my neighbour whose cousins best mate worked at the production company that supplied the bags directly to Joh’s office . 😳

It would be a funny choice. I am sure that Flanno is not willing to drop a pallet of money on young Leo.
