FMD. I understand Prior has no choice but to say what he's said in those quotes, but doesn't he realise what a liar he looks like?

The bloke has no record at the judiciary, obviously he will now. I've watched the guy play a lot and I've never seen him do anything remotely illigal. May be 4 to 6 weeks. In AFL 1 to 2 weeks. Prior should be made to come back through the Illawarra 'Cutters' team.

Yes he elbowed a player, late, delibrate and in the face.

And his a grub to boot!

Longer the better, I'd be screaming blue murder if he did it to a Sharks player or a New South Welshman.
If you look at the foootage on Fox the forearm hit Thurston on the side of the head. It was a bad look but Thurston wasn't badly hurt, that's why he wears head gear. Did he stay down? Ennis did against Parra last night. We are talking about Thurston here don't forget.

Ive watched him play heaps and he is consistently the Dragons worst player ...if he doesnt drop the ball every game im not here....he simply strikes me as a dopey merkin,the elbow was intentional and malicious which i will put down to frustration .Unfortunately it is a poor excuse so 10 weeks . That said i seen Weyman put a really cheap shot on a dogs player? out of sheer frustration this year and i think he got nothing for it so who knows .

Back at ya. If it wasn't a Dragons player practicing MMA moves you wouldn't be in here getting your panties in a knot.

Likewise if Nancy boy Soward was on the receiving end, would your sympathy for the accused be at similar levels ?

Ah yes, but the difference is I am not suggesting he get off, just pointing out how ridiculous people look when they say they want him rub out for a season, or life.

I also agree not sure why people say he has previous grub form.

Can't say I recall anything to bad.

I simply look at the incident, was high, the cocked elbow looked intentional. I guess it could be worse, flying at the head with a stiff arm, so perhaps grade 4 not 5.

Anyways will see what happens.

JT is a mega competitive bloke. He gets hit hard after kicking/passing 3 or 4 times a game. Some I wish he'd stay down for with the current system, we'd get more penalties. He always gets up.

I was at the game. Last night he lay prone straight away & stayed there for a while. I'm glad he's ok but initially it looked bad. I stopped watching the play, he didn't move. Divers don't do that imo.

Yep. He doesn't stand 20 metres back to avoid contact like Soward either. Tough competitor, never known him to dive.

Oh, right, he wears headgear so its okay.

Yes, we're talking about Thurston, one of the game's tougher competitors, particularly when it comes to halves. He never takes a dive despite being taken out 4/5 kicks he puts in.

Don't know why all the highlights insist on slow motion either, I'm sure if you slow it far enough it'll look like he barely pushed him..

Give yourself an elbow to the head, I was responding to the call to rub him out for the season. And TT, I'm happy to be related to that great man Hutty.

As if your other ten thousands posts in this thread didn't already confirm just how much of a moron you are.......

You turn out to be hutty's big sister. :lol:

Prior is a dumb shit player but he is not a dirty player.

Blame Beau Scott.

What shits me is the inconsistency of it all, because we can all make gifs just like that. I find myself spiting any sort of actions or bans on the basis of the hundreds of ditto incidents I see go without incident or ban

No surprise to see you jerking off over this dog act. You really have to stop confusing rugby league with MMA fighting.

Why don't you Cowboy fans shut the f#ck up. You got the two points, what more do you want. Get off your moral high horses you bunch of princesses.

Thurston is a gun player, but thank God he didn't play in the 1980s.

I take it that this is a "Straight to the judiciary" which means he can't just take an early guilty plea and will still have to appear regardless.

Not too many people actually believed he dived. It wouldn't surprise me if JT has bad whiplash the way his head was rocked back.
