This is getting silly now!

Bit like picking your Fantasy Sports Team but in reality..

Lets have him

THOMPSON TO UK

Warriors backrower Bodene Thompson looks like he’s headed to England.

Market Watch can reveal Leigh are keen on bringing the 29-year-old to the club.

A former Titan and Tiger, Thompson has more than 130 first grade games to his name with the Centurions in talks to sign him on a two-year-deal.

I've been watching Bodene for the last 3 years at the NZ Warriors, hes been pretty solid overall although he went through a period of becoming a turnstile for tackling, also he had some private issues but I won't comment on those as its not my place to.

But he turned his form around having dealt with those private issues and struck up a great understanding with Shaun Johnson, Scoring plenty of tries and assists. Also he shored up his defence and got back to the player I know he can be, he'll be missed at the warriors but its a great capture for Leigh.

I look forward to seeing Bodene in a Leigh shirt soon.

I agree with deepuspannus. Bodene is a good player who runs good lines on attack. Has been caught out the odd time in defence, but I wouldn't put all the blame on him as I think it was the decisions of others around him that put him in that position. Played wide on the right for the warriors, so would probably expect him to do the same. Good signing if he comes.

Signed sealed and delivered

Excellent signing

. Welcome to Leigh Bodene.

Jethro.

Once again well done Derek and Keiron Cunningham. Another top signing

Great signing for you guys. I'm a Warriors fan for my sins and I've always liked Bodine. He runs real hard and scores a lot of tries. Can see him running over Championship teams on his own next season.

This is a great signing for us. This guy can really motor with the ball, runs like a train and will do big minutes at Champ level especially. Tackles hard and often also. SL quality signing once again.

Very good signing. Well done to Keiron, Neil and Derek for negotiating this signing successfully. Welcome to Leigh, Bodene.

Another quality addition to what is looking to be one of the best assembled squads for many a year already!

Lets hope they gel..

Made up it has now been confirmed. He will score plenty tries for us next year. I think Daniel Mortimer will see to that.

Got to say the decision on Goodwin looks like an astute one with this signing and mata'utia looking like gearing up for a shot straight back up. Good work by the board

He's an excellent signing for you, one of the best line runners around. Way too good for the championship to be honest but he'll tear it up for you.

The Championship is getting stronger than SL,haven't you noticed?
