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

It must be a ploy from Barrett because all our backrowers beside our five-eights over the last 2 years dont get used at all. Give Thompson a decent 6 with him and he will shine because he runs excellent lines.

A decent 6 changes the game in any team
 
Mate you still have not convinced me with your views . Try again if you like .
I admire people that don't give up as I don't give up either 😉

Grass is pink
The sky is green
Clouds are purple.

It's up to you to prove me wrong, and convince me, apparantly.
Lmao
 
@BOZO I think the problem some of us here have with what you’ve said about Thompson is that right or wrong aside, you can’t just arbitrarily place an expectation on a player when nothing in their history is leading to it. It’s like people here who think Lussick is going to suddenly stop doing stupid things and become a stable top line prop. If there is no trace of it in their past it’s just individual wishful thinking.

That's fine mate , that's your view and I disagree
Joel has always been a tough player that added steel to the teams he played and I would like some of that impact with us as well .
If you feel that Joel is playing at the top of his game then that's your opinion .

I didn’t say he’s playing at the top of his game, but I don’t expect “steel” either. I expect 25 tackles, 10 hit ups, a handful of tries and about 100m a game which is what he’s been consistently producing for years.

As I said many times on this forum ,we all have different opinions and expectations and I thank you for yours
 
Are we discussing how painfully average this guy has been? We should be, though he has only ever been a slightly above average player, but he has bought nothing to the table as yet.
