However, a slow start to the season saw the Centurions playing catch-up and now they are looking to offload some of their stars – with more expected to follow Thompson out of the exit door in the coming days.

Club captain Harrison Hansen and Craig Hall have been linked with Widnes Vikings while Peter Mata’utia, who has been tracked by up to five Super League, looks to be on the way to Castleford Tigers.
