The Joel Thompson Thread (Any Off-topic discussion will be deleted)

The nrl relies on Soward to provide yarts. Says it all really.

How I remember Soward (and Thompson should get used to this 🙂 )

 

[The better Robbo]

Looks like he put on 4kg in the off season, hope we can whip him into shape in time.

He mentioned he put on a few and that manly had now signed another prop 🙂 won't take him long to get fit again

Thanks for posting that @Ryan. I remember that game well. How good is Brookie and how good was Killer... and how good was Foz when he could still run...

Poor old Lewie Brown.

Good signing, could be our Rambo

Every premiership contender/winner needs a Rambo.
Joel will do nicely imo.

He could add starch to the natural ability of sirro,will be a great back row of that happens,sirro is just a bit soft imo .I like Thompson's signing

I don't think sirro's soft, but rather that he doesn't choose (or get) to play that agro style of play. He has some riveting shots in him, boy I love that word, sing it to me Rabs

Hopefully Ferris works on his explosiveness, because when he used that this past season, he was absolutely destructive. I hope Thompson rubs off on him.

Thanks for the great memories Ryan, Foran made the yards, and Jamie finished it off. Meanwhile, Soward couldn't cope, and Brown did jack **** absolute classic!

According to foxsports Thompson contract has not even been lodged with NRL and won’t be registered until we are cleared of cap breaches

“Despite the Sea Eagles announcing prior to Christmas the signing of Thompson on a two-year deal the contract has not yet been submitted to the NRL and will likely not be approved until the club can prove it will be salary cap compliant for the 2018 season.”

Really starting to piss me off , if this is true I think this is a blatant personal gee up by the powers that be in the NRL . They are checking every move we make to make sure we fail in 2018.

In fact when is the NRL board and the useless media going to call Greenburg on this blatant ,bullying and torturing of Manly
It’s like a cat playing with a half dead mouse ,the minute the mouse makes a move the cat lays another claw into him.This absolute f/wit and low life germ must be eradicated from the game .Even some of the other clubs would have to be looking at this with raised eye brows?
The NRL has soooooo many issues yet they seem to be totally fixated on f ing around with Manly and trying to ping us on the BS rules they set down, that from what I can gather we have adhered to ,yet they have now changed the interpretation on said rules, that now .....surprise surprise effects no one other than Manly ?(nothing to see with Rorters ,donkeys,eelsetc)
It’s just BS
Someone tell me if I am wrong?

 

[Go manly]

We’re not a half dead mouse but a great big fucn rat just waiting to do some damage when the times right

 

[Chip and Chase]

Could be we are just waiting for the final negotiations to move a player or two on to accommodate Thompson.

This surely couldn" t be the case. Every one else in the squad seems pretty settled at present , why would there be any attempt to unsettle the squad now and at this stage . The Dragons have officially released Thompson to Manly unless i am very much mistaken or misinformed . It would be an invidious situation for all concerned if Thompson fails to now come to Manly . I guess that nothing can be ruled out but again if every thing seemed straight forward and official last week with Thompson to Manly , hard to imagine any problems of consequence now and having to destabilize the joint with having to move players on .
