At least he's a prop. From Wakefield I believe was on loan at York

According to his Wiki he's 6 ft 1 in and 15 st 10lbs. Seems comparable in height to Bodene Thompson but over a stone lighter. He's a slightly bigger version of Muizz Mustapha.

I hope the kid goes well. I don't have huge expectations.

Isnt it just. Hes put Handley in for loads this season. He can definitely pass.

So after the Gildart rumour, I rang my mate/source last night, apparently this was on e of the big names I mentioned before. It doesn’t make sense to me, but it’s all about cap space, again which doesn’t make sense, unless Sutcliffe is going, I asked this to which he was coy, meaning there’s something in it. There is truth in Thompson and that we are trying to create room. We offered Toulouse a fee to take Sangare early and we got turned down. Another departure and incoming shortly, that’s all I’ve got. Also came through on the Martin deal, just waiting for Hardaker now.

Interesting bud, thanks for the update. Fingers crossed on Thompson ( Luke )

Hull want Sutcliffe but Jamie Shaul is pretty much refusing to leave and making things difficult.

Thompson is an interesting one. The noises coming out of the Dogs are starting to be about reluctantly letting him do what is right for him. Question is whether we have space on the cap to beat the likes of Wigan, Saints and Wire. We'll have to offer more in order to offset his desire to be based in the northwest. Big plus is that it would leave us with a free overseas spot (assuming Bodene is leaving) which is always useful.

Doesn’t really matter about the cap space, it’s having the money to pay him what he wants, given £150k would be just what’s on the cap.

Is tetevano our only current marquee?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Fri Jul 15, 2022 12:19 pm  

If Prior and Thompson leave that should create enough for Luke Thompson.
Even better if Tetavano goes as well.
Gildart deal is off I thought according to the Aussie press.
