It astounds me that some people wouldn't consider bringing probably the best player in the world to our club, FMD we haven't haven't had a world class halfback since Sterlo went and have won f**k all in 23 years. But no because he is a wanker and a diver we won't have him here. 10 weeks ago the same crap was being said about Jarryd Hayne.......

And it astounds me that people haven't learned the lesson of the Dogs, who shed their salary cap hogs and found blokes who play above their price and all of a sudden they are great!

You asked for that ;-)

:lol:

I certainly did. And I'll probably get it wrong again next time too. :lol:
I wasn't the world's best at grammar.
I just picked up a basic idea of what looks right or wrong. That's what I base my grammar on.

FFS, id rather have the likes of Hayne, inu, tahu, mateo, mortimer, keatings brothers and nathan hindmarsh. they CAN WIN PREMERSHIPS if they get there attitude right. did you not watch the game vs the dogs? if we played like that every round we'd be top 4 right now. thats with the injuries to the havles.

You guys are actually serously starting to worry me. You are bagging out Hayne and Hindmarsh to stick up for a bloke who is rumoured to come here. Hindmarsh isnt asking for 700k, and im sure whatever hindy is on he deserves it. As for hayne, yes he is a bit of a sook, but i wouldnt have any other player. Thurston is just asking too much and thinks he is above everyone else, including the coach. Why did Graham Murray leave the cowboys? cause it was him or thruston.

There is enough talent here as it is to do great. Show some Faith in Mortimer and keating. If you have watched mortimer over the past couple of weeks, you will see that he has the potential to become a real match winner (if he isnt already).

Bingo!


A question to those in favour of JT:

The Cowboys have won how many Premierships?

The last three premiers since then probably have blokes that soak up a fair bit of their caps

Who was bagging out Hayne or Hindy???? If we can get a bloke as good as Thurston and not consider it we would have to be mad. He wouldn't be coming herefor 700k He would come here to win a comp. With what we are building ATM who knows????

What has that question got to do with anything?

How about I ask you this......Who was the dominant half back in this years State of Origin Series? And last years? And the year before that?

I don't understand how people wouldn't even consider him, sure we might be onto something good with the likes of keating and mortimer, but to just brush off the worlds best player is silly. Easy to call him a wanker, diver etc and i wouldnt mind either way, i trust ossie and DA

What about this:

1. Best player in the world
2. 2 time Dally M winner
3. Qld Halfback
4. Australian Halfback

Pretty handy resume

But they did go out and buy an experienced halfback, someone who can lead them around the paddock. As much as KK and Morts have both shown how promising they are they haven't shown they are capable of that yet. If Thurston comes here it won't be for the cash.

As for first question, read through posts again.

me or you do not know Thurston? so yeh, he might come for less, might want more. but how the frig do you guarrentee a premership? if so, why didnt thurston take say, i dont know 300-400k off his salary to try and win one up at cowboys?

dont see it happening.

with all the media scruity, im guessing, and hoping he goes to union to get away from it all.

Exactly.
Those who don't want him, don't seriously want to win a comp.
Maybe we will win one without him. But maybe we won't.
I'd take a shot tbh, if we have the chance.

Also dont forget if thurston did come he would have the likes of hindy, hayne, mateo, inu and tahu around him imagine how good they could work together. But as i've said whatever DA and ossie do, i support.

Those who want thurston dont know how the salary cap works, and dont want to see a backline with hayne, inu, grothe, tahu, reddy , burt, mortimer and keating????

plus he brings a winning culture to the team, what winning culture do our current crop have besides tahu?

I'm happy either way tbh.
Salary Cap? - I have a very good understanding on how it works, so don't sling that sort of crap.

I wouldn't knock him back, would you?
How about a backline that reads Hayne, Inu, Grothe, Tahu, Reddy Burt Keating and Thurston?
You'd be the first person cheering when we hold up the Cup.
