Thompson to Stay at Bulldogs

Bulldogs boss Phil Gould has met with star forward Luke Thompson and the pair have confirmed that - despite rumours to the contrary - he is going nowhere. "Luke assured me he wants to remain a Bulldog," Gould told. "Despite the rumours, Luke has never been offered to other NRL clubs and the Bulldogs have not been active in trying to move Luke to another club. "The Bulldogs were recently approached by an NRL club, wanting to buy out Luke's contract. "We simply passed this enquiry onto his manager for consideration. "But he is happy and we want to keep him so case closed."
