Thompson was involved in yet another pre-season battle for a Cowboys shirt. This time, Thompson was the 7. Robert Lui, a former Wests Tigers player, was signed to the club. After Lui’s injury to his knee, Lui was out of the game and Thompson was forced to take the lead. Thompson won the battle. Thompson began the year at Halfback with Lui playing Queensland Cup. Lui was later removed from the NRL for off-field incidents.

In Round 12 against the St George Illawarra Dragons, Thompson made his return from injury, starting at halfback to replace Johnathan Thurston while he was on Origin duties in the Cowboys 14-10 loss at WIN Stadium. In Round 13 against the Newcastle Knights, Thompson played his 100th NRL career match and scored 2 tries in a Man of the Match-winning effort in the Cowboys 46-16 win at 1300SMILES Stadium.

After the club failed to reach the top 8 in three seasons consecutively, Thompson and Ben Jones were locked in a fight for the Round 1 slot at five- eighth. In 2011, the club had purchased 18 new players. Thompson won the five- eighth position. Thompson’s first NRL try was scored in Round 21 against Penrith Panthers. He did this during the 30-18 victory at 1300SMILES Stadium. Thompson continued to play in every Cowboys match, scoring one try. At the end of the season, he was named Cowboys’ most improved player. Thompson was part of the Papua New Guinea team that faced Australia PM’s 13. He played in Lae, Papua New Guinea, on 25 September 2011. There he was awarded PNG’S player-of- the-match after he scored two tries and set up one for the team.
