Don't need thurston... fk paying 500k+ for a halfback.

I think if you want a good half you have to fork money. I will be interested to know how much Cronk and Orford gets. If you compare Mort and Timmy (first year), Mort is way behind. Timmy was good, he was real good. For Mort to be in JT/AJ level, it is a long long way. I do think we can wait that long. Secondly, I trust Ando , Ossie what they are doing. If they think they can fit JT so bit.
So gentlemen, sit back and enjoy the show… cleanout has started.

it said thurston was offered 1m a year at japanese rugby....

p.s no we dont need thurston! he is class but jesus he isnt worth that much.

2004- brett shewrin
2006- shane perry
2009 -MOST LIKELY HORNBY

these players didnt cost 700k but still got a premership. jesus. parra would have a heap of no names if we got thurston.

Convenient to leave out the years that a team with a decent halfback won the premiership.

There are lies, damn lies and god-fearers.

On Thurston, halfback is the most important position so yes imo we should pay market at the very least to snare him. Imagine the sponsors, publicity, season ticket holders, etc his signing would attract. Could only be a positive thing and if done smartly, we could hold onto the Mateos et al as other clubs seem to do.

If we signed Thurston then that would be the most influential signing in our history.

We have lacked a really superstar half since Sterling. Throw your house at Thursto or Coops.

If we only had to pay Thurston $400,000 under the cap and then he gets more on third party deals then fine. But he should not get more money than Hindy or Hayne as they are our francise players.

Nathan Cayless and Ben Smith released early = Thurston.

Money well spent.

Word has it JT is not a happy camper @ the Cowboys & will ask for an early let go
& Parra is looking at him for 2010,

As for the $$$$ for him don't be shocked if you see a few fringe players let go along with a highly paid snr.

Oh & JH will captain the EELS by season 2012

agreed, home games would have alot more fans. as for keeping the mateos and all, yeh its possible if they are told a premership will be won, 'take a pay cut will you'.

arent we chasing him for 2011, 0r 2012? thats still along time from now.

This Thurston thing is doing some heads in.
CEO comes out and says no, people say close sources are saying yes, roy spag says no and now he is seeking an early release to join us next season.

According to the rumours:

a) Earth Shattering
b) If it will work out, he may come sooner (as in 2010)
c) release of Caylo as per Musashi

Man if Thurston was here in 2010. It is nearly a combined SOO, International team

The Hayne captaincy is interesting

Hayne will no doubt be captain once hindy and cayless retire.
