Did he play both when he was younger?

Like most players when their contract is almost up, the young English players in England have NRL clubs and union clubs hovering around, he has English super League clubs and union clubs hovering around, I reckon I could make it as an agent too, I've understood the tricks of the trade

There's talk that the Catalans are trying to convince Maloney to do another year

I have a feeling the Catalan fitness coach will end up at the dolphins with Bennet

He reminds me of karl pryce. Big, strong, quick and talented but has a lazy side. Hopefully it's just fitness and not a lazy thing and he'll go far.

Canberra have not reacted to the new rules. They still play slowly and do set up drives for set plays. You don't see many other teams now doing drop offs 5 metres from the defence to set up a play. Their attack seems alot slower than the other teams and less heads up rugby.

Tough last 15 minutes for him and his winger.

Did Harry rushton play

Sutton out of the squad for tomorrow,

Sutton back in the squad for Friday

The way he looked to the corner made tedesco set off early and run past the ball , it was a lucky bounce but he played it well to get the luck

I thought the opposite, I thought he looked like he was just trying to control the player that's why he was being pushed off. Luckily Everyone has a different opinion.

He's a pec tackler not a shoulder tackler,

He had a good game, he was lucky as he missed two tackles that could have been tries, which was from tiredness I reckon, made some good runs too, he's still not a convincing support runner though,

À smaller version of Tom burgess

Phycology by the coach? Drop him from the game that I reckon he'd really want to play in as there's so many english guys in the canberra team. Extra kick up the backside? Or is he tired?

How did Luke Thompson play this week? I didnt see the game or highlights, just saw his stats of 9 runs for 91 mètres, 25 tackles and one off load in 33 minutes, Did he play 13 or prop when he got onto the field?

He could be used better is what I think what most of us are saying, he's keen, but doing lots of little things and less of the big stuff, support instead of runs, third man tackles so finishing around the legs and having to make the effort to get back into the defensive line etc

https://www.zerotackle.com/rugby-league/players/luke-thompson/ Sorry it was 6 runs last week, 9 this for 65 mètres

He seems to be just getting through games, he seems to be a little lost, I know 13 for the bulldogs is a third prop but he seems out of position, he is always the support player in the hit ups and not very convincing as he just runs at the side of the player with a non convincing running style that he's going to be passed to, I'm sure after a good pré season he'll make a big impact. I read he only made 6 hit ups in the last game, he usually picks his runs after a quick play the ball at saints and then makes good mètres but the bulldogs are being dominated so that won't help him either

Another highlights reel for Williams tonight? The defense never know if he's going to kick pass or run.

A few lucky kicks and passes, and just in the right place at the right time to make the tackles, he's having a nightmare first season

Thompson does a lot of work but seems to always be the support runner to another forward and second or third man into the tackle. Tough work but the aussies don't seem to have 3 to 4 players in the tackle and all his tackles seem to finish with him around the legs, in the early games it was like he was pacing himself, maybe the new coach has noticed that and told him to do more in shorter stints. When he does take the ball up he runs very hard and often wins the tackle and gets a quick play the ball

He'd make less metres in the pack. Yes he's passed it and wouldn't have scored a couple of the 5 tries that the other winger scored, but he does a job and can't be blamed for not trying or not getting scoring opportunities.

If he's not getting scoring opportunities on the wing it's not his fault, if he's not doing his work in the middle or coming looking for the ball it's his fault, by his stats he's not being lazy, with Robinsons game plan I reckon he'll be happy with halls performances and stats, the roosters play with speed through the middle and prefer to hit a second row outwide one on one and get another quick play the ball than pass to the wing and get caught close to the touch line.
