I'd rather keep thompson than green or tuson

Tuson wasnt a Peter Gentle signing Thompson was

Tuson yes, not Green, he had real potential to be a top prop.

I think Radford to his credit is trying to sort out the mess than previous coaches did when signing players, big contracts to players who are worth it, players like Arundel, Crookes, Pitts, McDonnell etc.

I'd keep Thompson though, hope the rumour is untrue.

Jake you said it was shocking decision to sign him

I know but he's been excellent since he switched from the wing. I've already admitted I was wro erm incorr erm not 100% right on him

Thompson has been one of our best forwards this season , Was surprised at his signing , Will be equally surprised at his departure if true .

Would you like a wager on that?. He does have family in Hull who he has already told them of his intentions.

Radford always speaks highly of Tuson so I can't see him going anywhere anytime soon.
Shame if Watts departs IMO. Think he's got all the attributes to be a great prop. He seems to have stalled here, in the same way as he did at Caravan Park.
Thompson was a Gentle signing so wouldn't be too surprised if he made way.

Thompson may be on stupid money that needs to be removed from the budget and spent in the right areas

It's not just Wigan or your chairman, I would imagine most clubs have had a player that for some reason or another doesn't wish to see out his contract. I know its difficult when its a decent player but I would think after consultation with the player if the problem can't be resolved then the quicker they're gone the better. As with unhappy players perfomance tends to drop off and negativity can effect the team off field too.

After talking to a pal of mine who works at your local radio station he seems to think its all sorted with player and club to leave.

Totally agree.

One of our better players this season and can cover other positions if needed although i do think prop is his best position.

Still young as well so time to improve further.

Would be delighted if this comes off, but clearly not done yet.

Building a core of Hull/academy players post the Agar era which set us back in this respect:

Shaul
Lineham
Crooks
Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Hadley

Genuine 1st 17 players, with Cunningham, BTW, Lancaster ready for next year and Turgut, HTW and Downs selected for England youth. Pipeline looks good.

Green also.

cant let the ginger ninja leave. Thompson has been a breath of fresh air since joining, just not getting enough game time.
please radders, do one right thing and keep thompson

I can't speak to his salary but I like Thompson. He loves the hard work and has a fierce step and loads of pace. That said we have a couple of youngsters coming through which the coaches might think are better prospects.

I have no idea about salaries and don't even want to guess, but purely based upon performances for us it would be very questionable if we got rid of Thompson in favour of Tuson.

Agree 100%. Lots of anti-Thompson posts before he even played a game and boy did he prove them wrong. Tuson to me has been a huge disappointment.

would be sorry to see thompson leave.

I think with Tuson, we have to give him time to find his feet etc. Not forgetting he didn't have a pre-season at all. He came back from injury and went straight into the side. I think we should give him time.

I didn't rate Thompson when we signed him but he's been excellent and I would be sorry to see him go. He's got 2 more years left on his contract so unless he gets a similar deal at another club a pay off will be needed.

Tuson has been a disappointment but hasn't really had a good run in the side due to injuries.

IMO its Green who needs to prove he's up to the job and justify being given the number 8 shirt at the start of the season. I know he's been injured since February but he didn't seem in much form before then.

Stop talking sense mate.

Wherever Thompson ends up he will be a good squad signing, be that Hull or another club.

Absolutely. I wasn't actually suggesting we get rid. All I'm saying is that if we are looking to offload a forward to make space for signings, it would be a tough call on Thompson if he was the one ahead of others who haven't played as well, notably Tuson.

I think thompson will be an outstanding prop in 3 or 4 years time but tuson will never be anything more than an average 2nd rower. There is a reason he left wigan and signed for wakefield. Big mistake if we let thompson go IMO unless he has been signed on crazy money and we can bring someone better in for the same money

I still cant understand why Thompson wasnt given a run out at centre when we were struggling in that position.He had a decent try scoring record at Cas and would have been worth playing him there imo
