How did Thurston manage to stay on the field tonight

[Patsy]

Obviously a different set of rules for the super stars. Blowing up deluxe about a decision that was clearly correct i.e forward pass. he should have been marched for 10 mins and penalty to manly.

If Matai, Watmough, gallen etc did something like that they would probably get a 12 month stint. Maybe not but penalty at the very least and high % chance of 10 mins in the bin.

Here is your problem.

So now players aren't allowed to get angry? What is this, preschool?

 

[winnyason]

[laurie]

so u were in line with the pass and can guarentee it went forward out f the hand can u ?? please supply the evidence. i do think it may have gone forward but touchie on that side thought was fine and continued on..

That was one of the greatest 2 year old style tantrums I've seen in some time. Especially when he calmed down long enough to hear the refs explanation and then blew up again, with both hands on head doing some weird snake like body twist. Loved it.

Love it when players go old school, it was almost as good as Gallen's comment "Queensland hate us, well we hate them times a thousand".

I think you missed the point of the thread.

Of course he can get angry.

BUT if it is any other player they get sin binned.

Thurston carried on and on and on and on and on like a pre-schooler who just lost his favourite toy. So yeah, this is pre-school.

They're allowed to get angry but they aren't allowed to talk that way to the ref. Should have been sent off for what he said.

 

[laurie]

the only problem is thurston was rite in what he was saying... i was waiting for odonnel to clock the referee one... geez he can get the angry pills goin . Thurston should not have said anything but the decisions during the game were woeful.. bowen never knocked on.. continual offside.. if this was me in my job i would of been sacked long ago with what has been goin on last couple of seasons..... what is in these refs position description.. bring on the world cup.. footy is becoming a joke dominated by refeeing decisions and not the actaul footy played

Matai should have been sinbinned against Parramatta two mondays ago for his behaviour to the refs and wasn't.

The annoying thing about it are the refs. They didn't have a problem with Thurston but a minute later march Manly back an extra ten for backchat...

 

[Light Reflections]

Ten seconds to get a forward pass decision? Yeah, I'd be f**king wondering where the refs finally got their decision from too.

one set of rules for Thurston, different set for everyone else. Who else could kick a bloke square in the face and not get suspended?

 

[winnyason]

i loved it when he cried like a baby when the eagles spanked them in 2007 prelim final

Soward karate kicked Inglis in the face last year and wasnt suspended i believe.:crazy:

 

[Fui!!!]

He didn't swear AT the ref. He was just swearing.

You send someone off for that, enjoy watching 5 a side from now on.

 

[MC DUI]

I think the ref just gave JT some space, he was raging because he had given his team like 20 chances to win the game and they kept ballsing it up!

 

[Usain Bolt]

Cowboys got stitched up, that b.s call about Bowen knocking the ball on when O'Donnell was in under the posts cost them the game

 

[Vic Mackey]

I can't believe that famous queensland spirit didn't get his team home

 

[Patorick]

He is above the law and cannot do wrong.

E.g.

 

[applesauce]

The ref new he f**ked up that's why he let it go.

He obviously wanted to give the Cows another shot when he turned around and penalised Manly.

Yep, the cowboys should've won but you could see Thurston getting crankier and crankier each time they fudged it up. 5 more minutes and they woulda won for sure. His frustration was understandable, but he does go a bit overboard. Suck it up!
