The suggestion is that there will be no attempt to replace him this season, to cut costs and there may be another couple leaving early in a similar way. Seems like they're almost writing this season off if they do that.

I wouldn’t care, I am a firm believer once we get the 1st out of the way a few will follow in the space of 5/6 years anyway. We just need to get over the line and get the first one crowd or no crowd. |

The Roosters are giving the Doggies a torrid time this morning. Thompson must be thinking WTF am I getting in to here. He maybe back before the end of the season!

We've signed Joel Thompson from Manly, presumably to replace Zeb Taia and are meant to be close to a couple more forwards. I don't think it'll be a marquee signing, but hopefully someone who's not far off replacing Luke Thompson.
There could still be absolute chaos in Super League. The likes of Wakefield and Cas can't be finding the current situation easy to cope with and it could be that there are some very good players available for next season later in the year if clubs decide to recover some cash. |

Neither of those 2 should be in the league anyway, so I don't have much sympathy for their financial plight. |

I agree. I can see a lot of movement between clubs and there may need to be some rules on how the cap works. So if I understand this correctly then Alex Thompson will still count on the cap for the whole of this season. But say for example wakefield are trying to reduce costs by offloading somebody like fafita then under the cap saints would not be able to sign him. Is that correct

You mean Luke Thompson?
He is no longer a Saints player, so that salary cap will be available for them to use this season - they are free to use it on whoever they want, as long as they dont go over the £2.1m cap limit plus exemptions. |

Sorry, yep, Luke Thompson. I guess the clue was in the thread title. So if we released BMM his remaining salary is free for us to use on a new signing as long as they balance out so that we don't go over the cap.

"The rumour is" , "sounds like". You're just believing anything as he's gone, and you want him to be the bad guy. |
