It’s a funny time if Thompson is coming back. I don’t see at all how Saints could have the cap room, Warrington are surely full up as well and have so many props already signed for next season, Leeds are talking like they need players out, to bring any in, so it would be tricky to find that amount of space. That’s 3 of the clubs you’d imagine would usually be at the front of the queue struggling to get him.

A lot would depend on why he’s coming back. If it’s homesickness and wanting to be close to family, then Catalans never ending cap space might be useless and I’d probably have Hull in the mix but that may rule them out.

I’d like for us to be in the mix but we’ll see. He’ll want very good money I’d imagine.

Depending on if French has signed, we've got the potential to accommodate him i.e there's a marquee spot potentially available. That's not the say the money is there.

Hope this doesn't mean Lenners is going to give Darty a lifeline

The reaction on the other side of the hill if that was to happen would be be up there with Andy Platt or Gary Connelly .
Funny enough he lived opposite me and he and his brother was at the back of my house (prob around 14/15 at the time) and he had his saints shirt I said get rid of that shirt but he said I have signed for Saints so I said fair play to him and said good luck. He did seem a good lad not arrogant or cocky just genuine.

My own take is that, whoever lands him, it would be the signing of the decade and involve megabucks. And we tend to spend sensibly these days. I don't think you can do that and land LukeThompson, not when you've got competition from the likes of Warrington, Hull, Catalan etc.
