Thompson on playing in the derby, Leigh on Thursday and retirement

Wed 25 Aug 21

Joel Thompson says his experience of playing in front of the Saints fans in the derby was “special” and admits he will never forget it before looking ahead to the clash with Leigh Centurions on Thursday.

Thompson was blown away by the Saints travelling support who were in fine voice during our win over Wigan last week and he says it beats any NRL atmosphere he has experienced.

He also states it’s now important the Saints back up the win against Leigh tomorrow here at the Totally Wicked Stadium. Click here to buy tickets for the game.

Subscribers can watch the full interview with Thompson who talks about how is body is allowing him to play with freedom ahead of his retirement at the end of the season – a decision he says is also down to his family.
