Hmmm, not according to some of the blow up merchants in here, lol suggesting he gets suspended for the season.

You think reading some of the comments in here that he deliberately dived on and elbowed an injured player on the ground, beat up his missus for the second time, participated in a gang rape, or even digitally penetrated a girl against her wishes.

Its a tough game they play in the NRL.
It sure is, but there is nothing tough about elbowing a player in the head. Thurston is infinitely tougher than Matt Prior if that passage of play is what we base it on.

The shoulder is stronger than the Elbow. And Segs hit Hornby late (You have time to pull out of a late shot). Priors hit was instantaneous to when JT got the ball.

The whole hit was rated on how long JT stayed down..SIMPLE!

Was a terrible deliberate high shot but.... I hope they give him some concession for the loss of his brother.

I'm sure he is not himself. I feel sorry for him after hearing that.

Yes its a tough game and I just saw a Dragons player get roughed up by a couple of Cowboys forwards and take out his frustration on a halfback.

He should be rubbed out for being a gigantic pussy.

They suspend players for that now do they?

:lol:

just jog on. You want to make this about how tough league is. Prior just dog shot a halfback because a couple of North Queensland props scared him. Watch the replay of what happened after the kick off went into touch it looked like he was about to shit himself.

To be honest, whatever he gets I am not sure he will be back this season. The young man needs some time to get his stuff together, if he doesn't know this surely the club should see that now.

Of course it was defending him by making excuses for his actions
Nothing like a good witch hunt.

So people aren't entitled to their opinion Snappy? It seems that any defence is akin to being a Prior lover? Well, I guess that means any attempt at reason should be locked away.

Prior needs some time on the sideline, that much is obvious... for more reasons than this thread has put forward. Moreover, all the 'experts' here might consider their love of the soap opera.

A Shoulder to the head can be potentially way more serious then an elbow to a head. Prior had little time to pull out and to react to Thurston's movement. A late hit is a late hit. If Hornby stayed down for 2585 seconds, Segs would of nearly got sent off as well.

Leik no wai dude! Da fist is way stronga den da shoulder bra!

Shoulder can do more damage than the elbow. That'll do me. Come to my house mate, I'll line you up in my back yard, run at you full pelt, first time with my shoulder, then the second time I'll stop and smash your cheek bone in with my elbow. See which one hurts more? We can settle this once and for all.

What a dope. I hope he gets sent back to Reggies after his 10 week suspension. Good for 3-4 errors per game. The shot was obv. deliberate..

Not as bad ad Glen Stewart on Anasta in 2010 IMO, and he got 6 weeks if I recall (and didn't get sent off)

What a clever ruse by Thurston, staying down to milk the penalty and going to sleep, then taking no further part in the match. That's commitment to the con!

You get far more harder concussion from accidental knees in tackles and shoulder charges to the head. If Hornby was as bad as JT..Segs should of got marched as well.
