Superthread LXXIII: Honouring He Who Shall Not Be Named

[Willow]

Not saying he was an absolute stand out by any means, but the fact that people can seriously say he didn't deserve the CCM at all is pretty much just blind hatred or jealousy

I disagree. Thurston was an absolute standout.

He was in everything.

 

[Willow]

Honestly a lot of people give shit to the Channel 9 wankfest about Thurston but I reckon if you (not you in particular) watched the game on mute there is no way you could possibly come to the conclusion JT was best on ground.

Well you didn't have them on mute. lol.

I have a button on my sound system that silences the commentary but still allows me to hear the crowd noises. Sony Football mode... google it.
Great technology. So not influenced by the commentators.

Thurston kept the Broncos defence busy all night, make no mistake.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I had Granville as MOTM. North Qld were bog average while he was off the park. Once he came on again everything clicked back into gear.

 

[thorson1987]

I'm with Apey on this.

Whilst JT was great, he wasn't the best player out there tonight.

 

[Misanthrope]

Thurston wasn't the best in his side (Tamou, Morgan, and Granville) were better for the Cows, and Milford was arguably the best on show.

Not undeserving, but not the man of the match.

Congrats NQ. Expecting a boom in population due to their sisters falling preggos.:sarcasm::lol:

 

[whall15]

Is the embedded video autoplaying for anyone else?

 

[Pugzley]

It is for me. Even watching it through my iphone.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Nope. I play it anyway. The only thing it needs is a 17 minute montage of Hodges sulking after the loss.

 

[McLovin]

Was a great night until the missus came home from work and cracked the shits because I A. didnt make dinner and B. didn't fill out the rental application properly...

Good job Cowboys. The good guys won

And lol at Bennett having a cry over golden point...don't think he'd be whinging if his team kicked the winner...

 

[Twizzle]

good to see the Cowboys get up

congrats to the Cows and their fans

Jack Reed was my man of the match. So many raids to his edge he completely shut down. If he just made that tackle against Morgan...

JT had a bit of Gallen syndrome in the last 20.

 

[Bazal]

Will never understand that Jack Reed obsession in the NRL generally. He's so bloody ordinary....can tackle front on sure but his defence is overrated and he's slower than a Friday afternoon. He's basically a poor man's Brett Delaney

 

[afinalsin666]

He's never struck me as anything special, just a solid journeyman. But it is possible for shitmerkins to have a blinder, and damn did he have one.

Copley should have been there instead imo

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Holy crap , words can't explain the last 48 hours. waiting for my flight back to reality now. My voice is no more, reek of booze and haven't really slept since yesterday.

Hes a much better player than Reed.

 

[Drew-Sta]

So, I take it you've had a fun tome? ;-)

Yeah. Pretty sure I went to a footy game at some stage as well

 

[Bazal]

Hot today. Necked a Peroni in about 42 seconds after my run. Obviously the best recovery :sarcasm:

I love summer weather
