Wow, didn’t we get about that for Bateman ?

Glad we are investing, shame he’s cup tied.

Scored a try today.

Would it indicate that we may have missed out on Thompson?

Only signed a 3 year contract extension in December I think so I don’t think it’s unreasonable for am international 23 year old non quota prop.

Would be a good signing if it came off.

Im more surprised we are spending that amount, rather than it being too much for the player




If its true of course

Transfer fee wise there technically isn't a player we can't afford with Danson involved.

It’s an interesting one with Thompson. I said on here a few weeks ago, I would rather spend the transfer fee and what you would imagine are far lower wages on Dupree, than I would want to give Thompson 250k a year. You have a young, fresh and up and coming prop, against a guy who is world class on his day but he hasn’t had his day for a few seasons now.

It’s a total guess but I reckon Thompson on a 4 year deal would cost around a million quid (250k per season). Dupree on a 4 year deal would probably cost an initial 200k and then a 4 year deal at half of Thompsons wage.
