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

[madmax]

He is 30 but that makes him even more valuable for our young side.

He's only just turned 29...........

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Thompson is a better player than Frank & Siro put together. Cracks 100 mtrs in his sleep...these other two, have struggled to do so most weeks. Snap him up!

 

[pjayz]

Nah Clint definitely Thompson.
My cricketing hero is Jeff Thomson and some journos would spell it Geoff Thompson.....
Same as the dummies that say JEFF Toovey !!
Blasphemy!!!

Couldn't agree moor Mr Ellebough

Joel might not be Klemmer but he is a Hammer back rower . He hits and runs like a sledge hammer .

He did against us in the first round.

Only just turned 30 , so be good for 3 years.

 

[Haliaeetus]

Before he gets here can we please decide if it's Joel Thompson or Joel Thomson. We have have had that many Cliff Lyon & Jamie Lyons playing over the years it's embarrassing. It would be nice to get this one right from the start.

 

[Disco]

Would be a very astute signing

For mine an edge backrower was always more important than prop where I think we are okay

Hopefully we sort this out

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

We’ve been banging on about a strike edge Back tower for months, so I agree, a great signing if we can jag him.

Even better, he's 29

Many on here constantly get Ian, Alan and Allan wrong.

For the record:

2 l, no p Allan Thomson: early 70s second rower. Later a teacher at beacon hill primary, and coach of manly in 1980.

1 l, 1p Alan Thompson: 70s and 80s 5/8 and occasional centre. Coached manly in 1989.

No p Ian Thomson: late 70s early 80s prop. Nephew of 2 l Allan. CEO of manly early 2000s.

All won premierships.

I have no idea about this Joel bloke, is he a p or a no p?

Still a bit wary of signing 29 year old forwards would rather mid 20s for 5 plus years

 

[brad]

Even better, he's 29

29 in August.

I agree to a degree. Although we have so many young forwards that we need some experience

29 he is in the prime of his powers and a hard experienced bastard, just what we need .

 

[Briza]

I think Moley got his Thompson mixed up, bodene is unwanted by the warriors and is off contract .

No he was right, Thompson, Joel wants a contract longer that 2 years and beleives he is being underpaid for how good his footy is at the moment. Joel Thompson even went to Twitter and said basically he is not staying at dragons.

 

[The '47ers]

Well if he no p he might die from uromysitisis...

He'll soon learn us Manly men go wherever, whenever

 

[Woodsie]

So ass...uming that the rumour is true and we have Thompson, Frank and Siro for the backrow, where would you see the 3 playing? Maybe 2 props, utility and a backrower off the bench?

I have no idea .... but he would certainly open up many possibilities.

Frank to lock .. Jake to prop .. Thompson to lock ... Frank to prop ... TomTurbo to 2nd row ...... it will be interesting to see what develops.

But I think you are on the mark with 2 props and a backrower on the bench.
