Leo Thompson reveals reason for leaving out key detail to sign with Bulldogs over Raiders.
In a classic twist of fate, Leo Thompson has finally spoken out about his decision to leave out a crucial detail regarding his girlfriend in order to sign with the Bulldogs.
The Newcastle Knights powerhouse had numerous NRL clubs vying for his signature, but ultimately chose to spurn the Raiders and reunite with Phil Gould at the Bulldogs.
Despite speculation that Thompson would join Canberra due to his connections to the area, including playing for the local juniors, the dynamic forward opted for a fresh start with Canterbury.
Many believed he would be the natural successor to Josh Papali'i at the Raiders, but the allure of a new challenge with the Bulldogs proved too strong to resist.
