The Cowboys are destroying Thurston's legacy

[BunniesMan]

If a team can win in September without a player, that player is not an immortal. He is not as good as people think when there is so little difference between how good the Cowboys are with him and without him. This season is a big asterisk on his CV.

Yep,Parra and NSW literally could never win a game without Hayne

Hayne > Thurston

You troll yourself now?

It must be hard to compete with T Goon and BHP endless alts.

Welcome back BM

The Souffs trolls of today have nothing on the original Master.

You've got to be taking the p!ss.

You're saying that because the cows can win without Thurston, then his stature as one of the premiere players in the game is diminished?

As I said, this cannot be a serious comment.

f**k. He is back! LU is saved. Over to u Albert.....

Thurston is still the best player in the game while standing in the box with his arm in a sling.

Ditto Matt Scott, outplayed Tim Mannah tonight.

Joey Johns added much more value to Newcastle than JT adds to NQ. They were a rabble without Joey. The Cowboys don't need JT.

Nope. Both drop off until they can do it agaon next year. Injury and age count. I hope they do.

Dunnies is onto something here.....

Thanks for spoiling Game of Thrones.

Much as I've never been a fan of the way the media trumps up certain players in this era as "muh greatest player of all time", I don't think it diminishes him at all, the reality is that Paul Green has worked at building a team for after Thurston is gone. I'm sure many have said that Taumalolo, Coote, Feldt, Morgan and Cooper have been just as big of a factor in ensuring the success of the Cowboys. Thurston brings that X factor though, he does it in Origin as well where games that his team should lose that he can pull magic plays out of his ass.

By that same token though, I don't like the extreme hype the media gets into now. Smith, Slater, Cronk, Thurston, Inglis, etc. are all "future immortals". I mean goddamn, there are 8 immortals total over the course of a hundred years+ game, you can't then have five in a single generation.

"Thurston brings an x-factor" lol

Two wins have sent Sydneysiders into rapturous stupidity.

No wuckers.

We'll take him

 

[gUt]

Round 6: Cowboys with Thurston - Lost to Tigers

Round 25: Cowboys without Thurston - Beat Tigers

As usual Bunniesman is 100% right

 

[Clifferd]

These posts are the reason I still use LU.

Go Parra! I am on board the Eels train this September. We've had a few premiership droughts ended recently. It is Parramatta's turn. All neutrals are with them.

Parra by 7!
