Jonathan Thurston last game of his career almost definitely is at CBUS stadium Gold Coast and a idea has been thrown up to move it up to Townsville so he gets a final farewell. Terrible idea. It would set precedent doing something like this, and its also a thin swipe at the Titans suggesting "you don't get many fans going to your games so why should you care?"

It would be tacky doing something like this, Titans are not out of the finals race yet and already lost a couple of home games from the Commonwealth games. I'm not sure they would be happy playing against a Cowboys team at home looking to put in a big effort for Jonathan Thurston's last one. Just plain stupid.
Not a fan. He'll get a final game at Townsville anyway, but why does it have to be his last ever game? Leave it as it is.

Sterlo's last few years at Parra weren't exactly thrilling.

And his last ever game was him hobbling off injured mid season.

Doesn't have to be one club player for testimonial , needs to have played 10 consecutive years at one club and over 250 games

250 is an odd number. One would think 300 but that would make poor JT ineligible.

Another part of the criteria is being a cleanskin the entirety of your career and we all know neither Smith or JT have been involved in off field drama....
