NRL 2021: Bulldogs star Luke Thompson shopped to rivals, Dragons chase Origin star

Canterbury prop Luke Thompson has attracted interest from rival NRL clubs as his English-based manager looks to secure a long-term deal.

Canterbury prop Luke Thompson has attracted interest from rival NRL clubs after his English-based manager could not secure a new, long-term deal with the Bulldogs.

While wanting him to complete his contract at Belmore, Canterbury would consider releasing Thompson early should he procure a lengthy deal elsewhere.

The Bulldogs know there is interest in Thompson.

Thompson has two years remaining on his current Bulldogs deal but his agent, Andy Clarke, has been contacting NRL clubs trying to gauge their interest in the giant British forward from 2024.

The Daily Telegraph has been told Wests Tigers have shown a keenness in Thompson, who earns around $850,000 a season.

Luke Thompson’s manager is trying secure his clients long-term future in Australia.
Clarke wants to nail down Thompson’s long-term future in Australia. He contacted Canterbury hoping the club would agree to an extension.

Yet with a crammed salary cap, Canterbury was unable to tell Clarke they could extend Thompson beyond his current deal. Thompson has an option his way for 2023.

If he can obtain a four-year deal for Thompson, Clarke may ask Canterbury for a release.

The Daily Telegraph has been told Canterbury is right on its salary cap limit for next season.

Rival clubs would want Canterbury to pay around $350,000 a year to take Thompson.

Canterbury can send out its new-look squad next season with any financial pressure but would struggle to sign any new players - or even upgrade a player - given how tight their salary cap has become.

New Bulldogs general manager of football, Phil Gould, is closely monitoring and reworking the club’s cap. Thompson leads the club’s stats every week but an early departure would free up some cash.

Luke Thompson has been one of the Bulldogs best forwards in 2021, but a move would free up salary cap space. Picture: Alix Sweeney.

Canterbury is adamant Thompson is not being shopped around - it’s more Clarke trying to settle his client’s long-term NRL future.

Clarke is said to be looking “at all options”.

There are no guarantees Canterbury would allow Thompson to leave early but the club would carefully consider any approach.

There is at least one other Sydney club which has been approached about Thompson.

Thompson has told friends he wants to stay at Canterbury and be part of the expected revival next season.

The Bulldogs are open to moving a player or two while they work to reshape their salary cap. Canterbury has one spot open for next season.

Thompson has established himself among the finest forwards in the NRL desire playing in a wooden-spoon side. He overcame a bout of homesickness just last year.

In September last year, Thompson said: “I’m fully committed to the Bulldogs.”

Thompson will play prop in Canterbury’s match against Newcastle this Saturday on the Gold Coast
 
Luke Thompson would be a quality signing - hard running prop who makes a good impact in the middle and average 140 metres a game

Bloody hell we cant even get a guy who mostly plays reggies and hardly anyone had even heard of across the line.

Other than rumours on here, who knows that WT were chasing him??

I would assume if the pom mentioned him that we at very least made enquires, if not an offer.

I actually think Madge and co are playing the waiting game for recruitment but are concentrating on extending and dealing with our great young talent....remember Madge wants to build from within so we have a long and prosperous future...I can see his methodology and it CAN succeed given time...

Waiting for what? We have a lot of spots to fill and the sooner we start filling spots the better. They should already have an idea of who they want to sign and be targeting them. We have a bad habit of leaving it too long and having no choice but to fill our final roster spots with nobodies

No wonder the other clubs are beating us at signings. Wake up Tigers and sign the players you need now. You have more than enough in the remaining salary Cap to sign these players. But remember that these players don''t wait for slow administrators to take action.

I don’t really know much about him. He played for Country U/18 when they toured GB which is on YouTube. In the 20 minutes I watched he didn’t do much but that was a few years back. I believe he will be in our system next year. I wouldn’t expect too much though although our recruiting seems more on point than in the past.

Would be happy with Thompson but he will need a pay cut

850k and untested in the NRL

Bulldogs are much worse than us with cap management and with all their new high cost signings no wonder they can't keep him

NRL should be monitoring that club very closely

They don't seem to have any control salary cap wise and when crap hits the fan they just offload players left right and center

It's wrong but hey this is the NRL

Certain clubs just do what they want

Sounds like he wants to stay but not an option because they are so bad with cap management

He's got 2 years left on his current contract at the dogs at $850 (as quoted on the article). If the dags (as per article) are willing to pay $350k , im thinking he wouldnt be too bad a signing at $500k for 2 seasons.
Thats if we are looking to sign him.

Looks like the overspending on players at the dogs is already biting hard.They have already let players on large contracts be subsidised and moved on Thompson will be another.
Thank goodness Hartigan is pulling the financial strings here

The Steelers have a lot of talent in the halves with Sullivan, Amone and Roberts plus Mbye.
 
Sunia Turuva from the panthers is one we should chase. His path is blocked at the panthers and has star written all over him. Believe he is free to negotiate come November. Come on Tigers. Stump up the $$$
