Once again, all defensive things he may be doing. But he's doing nothing in attack. And that's what he is renowned for.
Any halfback would struggle in attack playing behind a forward pack that is playing as sh*t as the Cowboys are.
They aren't getting any go forward at all for Thurston to play off the back of.
I don't believe JT is the problem at all.
The first thread of this post focused on the fact he seemed disinterested. That calls into question his commitment and passion - and that is two things that is clearly not missing in his game.
Maybe if a few more players, swore, and threw their mouthguard and showed some competitive spirit, then the Cowboys might start winning some games because obviously then it wouldnt be just JT who cares they are losing.
And thats the way it comes across to me right now - as a nuetral NRL fan - JT seems the only one out there truly caring.
If you aren't embarrased and gutted from a loss like that, then you just don't care enough and shouldn't be playing NRL.
I'd have a team full of players with JT's competitive spirit and will to win any day of the week.
I remember Joey playing behind a badly beaten forward pack many times, and even a genius can't pull attack brilliance outta their ass.
