Quote Stu M="Stu M"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.
