Not sure how I feel about Ward going, if he does.

I've always said we should stick with him and he'll come good in the end.

However if he has a good opportunity at TW, he could be great for them and it might be better for him to change scene and put his Leeds woes behind him.

And, one area we aren't lacking in talent is back row.

We do need to free up cash so that we can retain the core junior talent as much as we can.

Will back the club whichever way this goes, I'm sure they'll make the right call.

Great player when fit, but having thought long and hard might be sensible for me start. Especially as we are strong in the back row.....

I see Thompson has left Saints to join Bulldogs with immediate effect. Big loss for Saints that

If McManus's comments are anything to go by he had mentally left a while ago and saints had to cut their losses.

Be interesting to see how he goes with the dogs, they aren't playing well.

He's no better than Tolman or Napa so may be benched or NSW Cup.

Ha, I wasn't going to be quite that harsh but it will be interesting to see how he gets on.

He'll do well.

Tolman is way past his best Thompson about to hit his prime & will be every bit as good as Napa.

If Sutton, Whitehead, Cooper can start every week Thompson will have no trouble. A couple of strong runs and the Aussies will love him.

I think he’ll do well but I’m surprised he chose the Dogs. They’re not in good shape

Can’t see him ever been as good as Napa.
