Not sure why all the hate larry - not like you.
Think this thread is one of only a few that I have disagreed with your comments.
comparing him with Larry Corwara, Cliff Lyons, Benji Marshall is just folly and really is beneath you.
He has played three games at FB for us and one of those he was injured. Writing a player off after 2 1/2 games is pretty savage, especially since we won them.
I've been watching the games and Thompson has been playing well but he is not what we need at FB. Safe yes, run the ball back yes and in defence he is ok. What he is like at organising the defence at the back who knows (not too good over the past three weeks by the look of it).
We need a FB that ball plays and we have no other than our NZ mate. Obviously needs to get fit which is why he is in ISP this week, however he is all we have. At least we need to give him a fair go. Some players have had years to come good.
We need more players like Thompson less like tui. He runs around like a chook with its head cut off like Marshall at his worst. I want players that play the percentages, take the line on with speed, hit hard in defence. I had enough of watching us beat ourselves. Surely one Marshall is enough in any team.
Think you are totally wrong Larry - but that is your opinion.
Guess if you can't see it - you can't see it.
