5900 is plenty of people to choose from, they only need 17 players, we have Super League sides in only marginally larger towns. Great news on the new club and best of luck to them.

If an Australian international came to play in Super League and produced the stats Thompson has he’d be hung drawn and quartered by most on here.

Thompson simply hasn’t played well enough and has been dropped. Whether he’s named at 8,10 or 13 essentially his job is to run the ball in and tackle, sounds like a lot of people are making excuses for him. Plenty of players move between the NRL and Super League and struggle with form at first.
