Don't agree. Thurston was good, but a lot of his kicks went touch in goal where Johns would have forced goal line drop outs.

Great player but come off it..he was against Mullen and Zoolander..

Ahh the one thing that unites QLD and NSW fans at this time of year - our unabated hatred for you and your opinions.

What was the coverage like in LA?

He is a brilliant player.

Number 1 player in the game. Will dominate origin for a long time.

**And he casts the line**

Johnathan Thurston has the potential to be our greatest halfback, he ain't that today. The mecurial Allan Langer still holds that title.

A lot of members with short memories or N.F.I about the players from the past.

So you disagreeing..Anasta..and a bloke that has played what 10 games at halfback in his life is hardly a fair comparison. Yes Thurston played well..but look who he was against!

Yeah he looks the goods however he needs to play like this for about say 5 more seasons and keep improving.

Very promosing though, I'd definatly want him at the Broncos.

Golden era again if that was the case. I'd be telling my brother in law to take my nephew to a few Broncs games to get him into league

Easily QLD's best ever half. Much better then Andrew Johns ever was.
We can't hold grudges against people who prematurely ejaculate.

I believe he will be one of the greatest halfbacks,leave it at that without having to compare him to Joey.

Thurston was good, but he didn't hold a candle to the individual domination of players like Johns and Langer. Aside from Lewis, Andrew Johns and Allen Langer are the only halves I've seen capable of turning a game while their forwards were being dominated, as opposed to players like Lockyer who perform off the base of a good forward performance. Only when Thurston can manage a single-handed turning of a game behind a forward rout should he be considered equal.

Very early for calls like that. Definatly has the potential but a long way off Alfie and Wally for now, although i think time is the only factor here, he will hopefully be the best QLD has ever had one day, but not yet.

Great player...............

But give him, say, another 8 years until you start comparing him to johns or lewis
