Penrith apparently

No

I'd be pretty surprised to see Thompson leave. He's a very handy player who isn't on a lot of money. If we get Doueihi or Johnston you'd think he'd get one of the wing spots.

I wouldn't wanna see him tossed aside. What're the chances of Madge taking a tiny winger/fullback and turning him into a 9? Didn't he do it with Cook?

Thompson's weakest part of his game is his passing, don't think he'd work at 9 at all. He's a winger through and through imo.

I feel he's exposed a lil more on the wing because he's constantly facing up against Tupou, Oates, Vunivalu, Ferguson, Maumalo and Fusitua type players.

Couldn't agree more. No player tries harder. If he was half a foot taller he'd be a terrific winger.

Especially so with the new rule that now protects all all players in the air, instead of just the defensive ones. All shorter defenders will struggle with this change.

Yep Nofo is in a heap of trouble also with this rule change. I really don't like it and expect to see a number of penalty tries awarded because of it!

Corey to hooker has been mentioned a few times.
Absolutely ridiculous idea.
No.

Some one even said lock.
No.

ISC winger.

I certainly agree with the penalty try scenario.It wont take long for the coaches to start abusing it
