Question is have we missed out on Thompson or have the club decided on another target they think will offer more/be a better fit?
Reads as though it may well be the club that didn’t pursue things with the bit about an NRL target with also agreeing to let Hadley go.
Seems the Sao deal is done just awaiting announcement.
Heard Thompson was asking for a huge wedge - understandably given his quality and leadership - but one we didn't think it right to stretch to.
Not sure what I think about releasing Hadley. Very good squad player, strong engine and tough defender but not really one to turn a game. With Savelio, Lane and new acquisitions possibly arriving, and maybe Griffin dropping to back row at some point, perhaps we couldn't come to a mutual valuation.
