| Search for "Bodene Thompson Belinda Medlyn" on a well known search engine. Cost him $50k to settle it...

I can see team moral boosted already after the Saints thrashing.

| Quote ="Jrrhino"Thompson is just hear to covee our injuries to our pack with Mellor and Donaldson both out now for a chunk of the season it makes sense to me for the club to give him a contract for remainder of season.Ward and Crosby who knows if they'll play again never mind this season, L.Sutcliffe is just about to come back from injury and imo and many others it seems he's not good enough to be in our 17 and is on his way out of the club anyway. So our back rowe options are short with just Martin, A.Sutcliffe, Smith,(more of a 13), Walters (yet to make his debut and still young and will get a chance to prove himself), O'Connor( same as Walters) and now Thompson so I think the club have brought Thompson in at the right time to cover us and he hasn't even played for us yet he could be a solid addition to us lets wait and see when he was at NZ Warriors in NRL he was a decent second rower and was close to being in the NZ national team.'"
Agreed

| I think we should at least give him chance to show what he can do before he gets slated on social media!

Agreed.
80% of people on this site have him written off before he had laced his boots. We could sign the entire Aussie pack and we would still write them off! Come on give the lad a chance.

| We don't need to sign "never have beens", give the academy guys a chance of first team action for the rest of the season. What's the worst that can happen? There's no relegation. Give the young guns some essential game time and assess their potential for 2021.

The kids will get games this season have you seen the fixture list when we get into October/November it would be stupid to go into them without utilising a full squad

Problem is theyve nowhere else to play. Its ok saying they will play in Oct/Nov, they wont have played for 7 or 8 months by then and thats why they need game time now. In fact Sam Walters hasnt played since February so could be 9 months for him.

This. The odd game here is not enough. I want these youngsters playing 80% of the remaining games.

They cant physically do 80% of the games. They have to be brought thru gradually especially forwards.

| 9 months without a game is damaging for a players development, I really hope we see these players soon as dropping them in in October is not great planning

| Firstly Boden Thompson is not a never have been, has played at a good level in some good teams. Players can transform from ok to great and back again when they are at different clubs with different coaches. Lets give the lad a chance.
Secondly saying they havent played in 6-9 months is the clubs fault is ridiculous, no one had played in 4.5 months. Please have realistic expectations during a global pandemic

Agreed, but what they could do is play half the remaining games and play roughly half the minutes in those games. With no relegation there isn’t a better time to play the kids.

Agar says exactly that and explains why they went for Bodene Thompson and it makes a lot of sense.
Relying on kids and not using a full squad when the fixture list is goimg to be very heavy on the players is IMO irresponsible.

No, what's being said is that by oct/Nov there will have been 2-3+ months of rugby, they should definitely be introduced before then. Of course nobody is blaming the club for 5 months of not playing, but someone suggested they'd get there chance in oct/Nov massively extending their lack of match practice!!! Please have a reasonable grasp as to whats actually being said.
Also, what good teams has thompson played in?

| I dont think Thompson is good enough for Leeds but i do understand with Ward, Donaldson and Mellor out for a while we probably do need an experienced body and there wont have been many available. Hes a solid pro who wont let us down.
Personally id prefer the kids to be given a chance but i also realise its impossible for them to perform every week.
Its a fine balance but ultimately if Leeds are to be successful again the kids have to come thru and be held accountable to perform at a high standards.
Agars presser today he said the kids will be given a chance soon so lets hope he carries that thru.

| Strange but two weeks ago in the Yorkshire Post and RL press both Leeds and Huddersfield said there was ‘no way’ are we going to sign any Toronto player.
Not having a go but that’s a U turn at a speed worthy of our PM.....

Nothing new here many times Hetherington has said Leeds have no interest in signing xplayer.One of the most famous ones was Ali Lauitiiti was asked if Leeds were interested GH said very good player but we will be signing him.The following day he signed for Leeds.
