Thompson pretty much played a whole season in the centres, but yeah he's a back rower, and very able one at that. Will be very interesting to see how the puzzle all fits together.

I think more would consider Cashmere a has-been, given that he HAS-BEEN in First Grade but then wasn't. :stuck_out_tongue:
nah, solid player though, paid in meat pies. no complaints

Thompson is a beast…hes huge and has pace and can cause damage, still developing imo hes like a big dopey dog thats full grown but still a pup, lots to learn and Sheens will love tinkering with him....has errors but has some aggro and attitude about him too
I think Pettybourna and a new scene is just what he needs, with Burgess's and Taylor & Luke, hes been shunted back a bit somewhat and his games quietened a bit to when he first hit the scene, a new club may do him well
I can remember Iosefa killing us one time, lots of skills but also error prone at times
Good to extend Nofo, havent seen much of him but hopefully he gets a crack soon....all good afaics....who goes is the Q now

Just read on Wikipedia (hardly concrete, I know,) that Thompson was signed until the end of 2014\. Almost certainly a casualty of Taylor's impending arrival, and I think I read somewhere that Pettybourne was signed until the end of next year, obviously making way for Te'o.
Wonder if Sheens approached them both or was prompted by their managers?

also Tigers new recruit B.Thompson dislocated his shoulder last week in QLD Cup off Titans forum
http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2012/05/23/418105_gold-coast-titans.html
So he dislocated shoulder on Sunday then we sign him mid week

Williams would be great if we could actually get some game time out of him in-between being suspended for elbowing kids in the face, Wouldn't choose him over pettybourne though.

Nah. We've secured two young solid players who don't have external commitments, no baggage and to my knowledge, not associated with any scumbags, and for a fraction of what Williams would have cost.

I don't understand the sudden interest everyone has in Williams! He has taken three years to even look like a first grade player and given his size he still has minimal impact. Sure he ran over Farah to score earlier in the year but when has he ever come up against someone if similar size and been effective?
He did very little in Origin and had minimal impact. He was only put there to combat the size of the Qld pack and I dare say if Woods had a little more experience then he would have filled that position far more effectively.
Our $$$ have been much better spent on Thompson and Eddie. Williams is a big man, but he is no Tuiaki.

They may have been talking about SB Williams rather than Tony Williams but it's often hard to tell.

so his having issues with shoulder which normally means he will have to have reco on shoulder on off season so he will go into season without a pre season and may not even be ready for Rd 1
You'd think he'd have the op now rather than wait until say September.

Manly wouldn't allow it ….. Even if he was sitting on the sideline for the rest of the season.
Go to Hassler fitting fit, I don't think so
