First time I've joined the chorus but Nofa has to go next year regardless of cost. No serious team would put up his style of play. The Sharks two are the type of winger needed for the 2021 game.

Only one person is saying otherwise.

@hobbo1

get nofo out no matter what freight it costs us

Nofo / Cotric trade

Trade him for anyone.
Cancer to the team.

Ronaldo Mulitalo had a field day down his side all game. At once stage I actually had to go back and have a look at the team sheet to see if we actually fielded a winger on that side of the field.

If we don’t take that deal immediately we are dumb as shit.

What about the 850 They (And him) Will want us to pay for the 3 years after that....
It's not that Generous - Considering they have him on the books for the 850 next year - And the year after....

Penrith will do worse to us next week...

Just seen on an article that Luke Thompson has rejected the tigers 3 year deal. How embarrassing are we as a club

Interesting, considering he's not leaving his current employer, embarrassing for who exactly? He's not released and the article says he has decided not to leave his current deal - not Tigers, Cowboys or anyone else.

This and the news that he rejected our supposed deal leads me to believe that the Bulldogs are trying to move him on without allowing him to activate his s23 player option. Shifty shifty. Good on him for staying firm!

@Needaname we paid Steff $800K over 3 years which is cheap!

We should bump him up to $500K p.a for next two years and then $650K for the following two years.

If we dont, then another club will make sure he waits until November next year and signs him because we can only offer him money and he wants to play finals football.

Now that we know he is good he is worth paying more money too. That's the benefit you get by signing talet cheap for a few years. You can either offer them more to stay or not and not pay too much.

Wait just a second!
Payne has. The 3 season origin front rower has been paid $450k for this season.

Just how bad do you want our cap to be?

It’s money related he prefers the Tigers I know this for a fact from the dogs. Gus is no mug he’s off him he will be gone. Very similar situation to Matt Lodge he may end up as the highest paid player next year paid by both clubs.

Spot on his manager is trying to use the clause to get a payout from dogs and then full freight from another club. Gus wants him gone it only cap hit for next year. I don’t like it I think we should stay clear. We don’t do well with mercenaries. That’s for the Roosters or Eels.

Canberra found out the hard way this year with a pommie mercenary.I would be very wary of signing this bloke he is starting to sound very similar

Avoid the English prop and improve the backs and/ or spine.

Been told by someone close to the dogs that Thompson wants $850k for his second year regardless of who is paying. Tigers have said no to $850k for years 2 and 3. Bulldogs happy to chip in for year 1 but not for year 2. So Thompson telling dogs that he will stay then take up his option. Deal can still be done but bulldogs will need to chip in for years 2 aswell. Deal is still alive because bulldogs want him gone, but his manager is playing it out in the media.

Thanks for the info.

The only club dumb enough to pay him 850k again is the one trying to offload him.

Hopefully you are right because at that price he is another Reynolds/MBye contract,one you would regret for years.He is nothing special and even at this early stage of his career Stefano is a lot better.
Let the dogs stew in their own incompetence and stupidity

Yep definitely not worth $850k.

I rate Stef higher than Thompson so Stef would be my priority.

There are only a select few to break the bank for and Thompson isn’t one of them.
