Is Stevie Ward still a Rhinos player, won’t his contract have ran out now?

Blimey.

Im not against the signing but are you smoking something funny?

Better than Oledski, Prior, Martin and Ava?

OK then i will give you Prior ,
Martin is ok on his day but sometimes you do not see him and as on other threads i have stated the improvement of Oledski , he still has a fair way to go and as for Ava , he was dire early season and straight after lockdown although has improved since

No...
Oledsjki or Prior been our best.

L Sutcliffe isn’t a back rower for me. If we were to sign another prop I would imagine there will only be one space on the bench for a back rower, and that likely could be Cam Smith.

Are we sure Thompson does count on the quota for next year given that Toronto have folded?

Like I said, I’m sure the club have a plan and we won’t be making lots of changes to this squad for next year.

To be fair to Thompson he’s shown a couple of nice touches here and there. It’s not a great use of a quota spot if it is.

I dont think back row should be anywhere near our top priority but if we want another why not get the big lad back from wigan? Bit of a gamble and perhaps slightly more money but if it paid off we could have a top quality versatile forward for the next 4/5 years.He also wouldn't count on the quota, leaving them open for genuine class from oz

Yeah he counts for 2021 as he was out of contract with Toronto at the end of the season. All their players are now unemployed and can sign elsewhere.

Confirmed a two year deal

Poor use of an O/S spot

Ha just put the same on another forum.

I'm happy with Thompson resiging would have preferred a 1 year extension but 2 years isn't end of the world and yes he does take up a Overseas spot but we still have 1 free and we could still go after good English talent but I only expect 1 new signing with how club have come out and said not much change this off season. Thompson is hard working player and also gives us options in back row if we have injures or other players are out of form.

I'm not a fan of using Overseas spots for squad players. Each quota player must be a starter.
