Farewell and thank you Corey

[Geo]

Corey gave his all, every time he played for us.
Happy he played with us, and happy he makes a go of it elsewhere.
He deserves some good $$$ and the longer contract.

I think your on the money tiger_one...

Always played his heart out for us and sad to see him go..at his age getting an extended deal is good for him ...could have spent another year here as a back up but will see a lot more regular FG at the Titans closer to family..

Played well above his weight ...seems no i'll blood from both the player or the Club..

Someone mentioned to me we had let go 4 players players award winners in 7 years the following season

Is that true ?? ....I'd have no idea who won the awards myself but Tedesco and Thompson make 2 ....

 

[JD Tiger]

Corey was great for our club, filled a role, had some great efforts.
Wish him all the best, except when/if Titans play us again this year. Then I hope he plays well but loses of course.

One player who tried his guts out every week, we could do with more players with his attitude, good luck mate I hope you kill up it up there

 

[TillLindemann]

Where's Corey and his family from? Is he a Queenslander?

 

[JC99]

From what I can tell he loves the club and the club loves him but it’s just a business move to everyone’s benefit.

 

[Don Kershane]

I remember one night at Leichhardt when fullback he stopped Taumalolo head on at full gallop. I thought he was about to meet his maker. Brave guy.

 

[Telltails]

Best of luck to Corey Thompson. I hope the move was derived from a deal too good to pass up at this stage of his career. He will be a welcome addition to the Titans and no doubt missed by the WTs squad.

 

[JC99]

Where's Corey and his family from? Is he a Queenslander?

Yeah he and his family are from QLD, he’s never had the opportunity to play footy up there so I’m
Happy for him

Great clubman who gave his all. Everyone wins here, we gain a spot on our roster and he gets an extra year or two of financial security.

I don’t think we let Tedesco go

Well deserved move was not figuring in Madge's long term plans.
Was given the starting position originally but a bad game against Newcastle cost him his spot and AD is improving each week.
Madge is starting to cull the Roster already look for vast changes coming in 2021, lets hope we don't pay over the odds chasing players in future.
Best of luck Corey always knew you gave 110% and played above your height with good positional play and raw speed.
At least you won't come back to bite us in 2020.

 

[innsaneink]

It was something along the lines of: player’s player last year and they have no use for him this year ?

Ouch that's a bit of a j**k move

Wow, such sour grapes from that guy.
Why does he still care? We let the bludger Matterson go?

He's probably a close mate... Can't disagree with what he's said

Depends how it happened I guess. Was he shopped around, or did GC want him and we chose not to stand in the way? ***If it was to let him have more of an opportunity than he would have got here, and if he was happy, that seems all good to me.*** If he was shopped around and told he wasn't wanted, that would be a different matter.

Surely we should be doing what's best for us as a club and a team, we aren't a benevolent fund... We should be hanging onto our better players... As I said we have that many duds for other clubs

 

[BalmainJnr]

Thank you for representing the jersey well Corey. Wish you the best on the GC.

As an aside you got to love the media. This headline from news.com -

Linking to an article with this headline -

The article is mostly complementary and takes about a mutual agreement.

Its moments like these where i can see the fall out from having an average team for so many seasons.

Moving on from a 30yo Corey Thompson is very smart roster management. The backlash from the fans across all social medias is ridiculous.

Cant wait to see everyone come around to Maguire some day soon. The guy is doing some smart work and putting us back where we should be not only on the field but also as far as roster building and cultural changes go.

Thanks Corey, loved your work. Hope you go well.

 

[Guest]

All the best to him. Great clubman who plays above his weight. He gets to finish his career close to home now.

Remember this try @hobbo1 ....almost smack bang in front of where EB and I were sitting

 

[Harvey]

Will probably score a hatrick against us next time we play.

Would like to know what he was actually on, I always thought it was the bottom end of the salary scale. He was somewhat limited, but never left anything on the field.

We get rid of a player on a bottom ended contract that was not signed beyond next year (or was it this year) despite the fact that we have no depth in the outside backs. Our options are now MCK, Jennings or no-one.
