Didn't see it. Can you please tell me exactly what happened? In detail? Like I'm a 5 year old?

Appeared to lose his shit then drove his forearm almost all the way through Reynolds head. I dunno if a Blue snuck a cheap shot on him, but he looked pissed.

Someone said it was in retaliation for Reynolds dog shotting Gillett but I didn't see it

Oh wow.

There's some talk going about that JT was reacting to a racist remark from Reynolds. Look out, this could get ugly if true.

Am I the only person that saw Reynolds swing at Thurston in the tackle before that all happened? They didn't even show a replay of it.

After watching Gallen do it for 78mins he probably finally realised it was acceptable in SOO.

You guys are kidding.

He's a fantastic player, probably the best since Johns, but he's always been a grub, particularly when on a losing side.

Losing side + elbow to the head + minor headbut is completely in character for Thurston.

Talk from who?

I can't provide a link but a member on BHQ said it was a reddit thread with 2000 comments.

Again, until we have proof of this, it's entirely speculation until JT says otherwise.

EDIT: Apparently they were shaking hands after the game, so I call bullshit. Carry on.

There was nothing in the headbutts

The forearm was ugly but I don't think any more action is necessary

Hope it's not true.
Honestly racism in this day and age in Origin is appalling.

Him and Reynolds seemed to have a running battle all night, every time they came together there was some niggle both ways. Good to see them shaking hands and having a good chat after the whistle, leave it on the field.
