2023 OUT | Bodene Thompson - Released : Wed Aug 17, 2022 1:21 pm  

Confirmed by Rohan

Not a surprise. He's done a pretty good job for us to be fair but another pretty daft signing, especially with the length of contract.

Correct decision, but, to be fair to Bodene he has been excellent since Rohan came in

Looking forward to the announcement of some incomings...

McDonald from Leigh likely.
Just need Prior to do the same freeing up another forward spot.

Prior to do the same?
He has a 2023 contract, Thompson didn't.

Hmmm…Rohan didn’t sound as definite as he has with the likes of Briscoe and Dwyer etc….said he’s had several conversations with him, really values him but at the moment the answer is always the same that we cannot offer him anything at the moment….seems like he’s on his way out but wouldn’t surprise me if things change depending of course what we may have in the pipeline with regards to a new incoming quota player.
Reading between the lines I get the impression that if new quota plans don’t materialise that Bodensee could get a new offer from us if he hasn’t sorted something else out in the meantime?

I wouldn’t resign him under any circumstances, he’s gone ok last few weeks but mainly been a plodder, we can do far far better and we don’t have to panic and fill a quota spot.

Agreed, even if we can’t fill the spot immediately (and I hope we can) it’s always valuable to keep it for later too rather than filling it with someone average.
