Well deserved. I expect him to push Miski and Keighran hard for their places next season.

Would be interesting to know how the club has sold this deal to him.
I’m guessing we will be looking to see him step up to partner Wardle in 2026 but it’s a big call if Keighran goes well in 2025 unless he has indicated he wants to go home at the end of next season.
I’m definitely expecting more of the same for him in 2025 covering the centres and outside back positions.

Wonderful news. I know there's been speculation about possible offers from other clubs so it's great to see another long term deal in the bag. Our recruitment and retention has been spot on over this last year or two.

Hang on. This can’t be right. StuM and his imaginary sources told us he was signing for St Helens? Who was the poster that said he was signing a new contract at Wigan? Oh yeah that was me lmaoo
To be fair, he’s just as cringe on Redvee

You are obsessed with me Rob. I think I may have to get a restraining order
It was never my rumour. I simply passed on something that I had heard from someone else and if you went through my posts I said that whilst I would love it to happen it was unlikely unless Wigan had to let him leave due to SC issues.
I hardly passed it off as a 100% definite. Something that you did when you said Thompson wasn't signing for Wigan. Remember that? I was also the one that said if he came back to SL he was always going to Wigan. |

Well Stu you can officially adopt the little fella,he has now attached himself to you.
I hope you are happy together 
As a side note Luke Thomson's dad said to me Luke would never sign for Wigan even fathers get it wrong sometime. |

Its funny but Rob never did reply to my PM where I offered to meet him to show him the messages that Fraysinnous was our new assistant coach well before the media got wind. Can't think why.
Back to Thompson though and it is a strange one. His Dad was a big sponsor at Saints and Luke famously put his Nan's address down at high school so that he could play for St Helens schoolboys rather than Wigan. I do think though that the way he left Saints during Covid meant that we were never a viable destination even if we had found the money.

It does feel like Thompson stuck two fingers up at the Saints top brass by signing for Wigan in response to his exit, which seemed a bit messy at the time. These things happen. There were similar rumours of guys like Gildart and Bateman leaving here under a bit of a cloud and it then being unlikely that we'd ever see them back at the club. The funny thing with Thompson is that he's exactly what Saints could do with currently. An experienced, metre making prop to help lads like Lees and Delaney and to help the transition to a future without Walmsley. |
