We signed Burgess as a world beater and hey presto injury prone. I think with Thompson it will be the opposite someone who's toughed it with injury becoming a world beater. He could be immense injury free.
Burgess was goosed when he came to Wigan, he didn’t suffer any injuries in Cherry and white. I am relaxed about Thompson. The fact that he has struggled for game time whilst in the NRL could be a benefit for us, if he has overcome his injuries, as his engine will still be in prime condition for the next four years. Secondly, he has been subject to two medicals which gives me confidence that his previous injuries are not career threatening or likely to impact his performance. I think he will be a star for us.

Rads said on Wednesday he’d had his second medical on Wednesday & the contract was only finalised at 6 pm that same evening.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I hope one included a session with a counselor investigating any concussion effects he may be experiencing. I heard he's had quite a few.
