STFU WaznThurston was injured in the 2nd game so was basically invisible anyway so game 3 will be no different without him there
New Choke Wales to choke again
For whatever reason the last time DCE played Origin he and Cronk just didn't gel together well. Good club form this year with Green at the club but he may have a red mark against his name in the minds of selectors.
Didn't he replace Cronk and play with Thurston?
Exactly. Cronk is the general in the team and while JT himself is irreplaceable, his role in the team (ie to create off the back of any momentum gained whatsoever, as well as assist in kicking and general playmaking) is easier to replace than Cronks.Yes and instead of letting him play his natural game they tried to make him Cronk.

Cronk is the vocal organiser. You could see it when he got sent off last year and he gave instructions to JT before leaving. They will miss JT'S attacking spark though.
I think I heard somewhere that Cronk said that he struggled in Game 1 because he didn't have Thurston yelling instructions in his ear. I remember watching the Sterlo miced up once and Thurston is yelling and directing the whole game.
I really doubt that, if you watch the games...Cronk bosses everybody around, this includes Smith and Slater.I think I heard somewhere that Cronk said that he struggled in Game 1 because he didn't have Thurston yelling instructions in his ear.
