ABC Radio Grandstand has reported he has  been offered a 1 year deal with the club.

I spoke to family from the Raiders and they said he is going to accept the deal. Good news  :) Also I have heard that a couple of Raiders under 20's players maybe be making the move down to Melbourne.

Im sure some absolute genius floated this idea a couple of weeks ago and how his personality would be a great asset for us.

Thompson will be a good signing for the Storm if this is true.

He's a solid player and he might be getting on, but having someone of his experience can only be useful for next year's forward pack.

A 30 year old who Canberra didn't want.  They took Brett White And We get a Brett White replica but much older.  Why do you guys think this is a good signing, something I missed?  Ps did anyone see Thursday night live?  Host Adam Hawes got to the storm cronulla game and said no one cares about this game so we will move right along(which they did.  The only team not reviewed)  Co%ksucker

Noa beat me to it. 

We don't have too much of a choice right now and who knows, Bellamy might be able to weave some magic with him.

btw what is Thursday night live?

I'm happy with that part.  I just hope he doesn't get preference over Norrie, Bromwich, Kite & hopefully Waqa

I wouldn't be surprised if we're after Reni. He does play a little bit of five eighth too.
"Better to have Won then Lost, than to have never won at all" Arrogant, but true hahahaha
