@@rogernewman8432 You clearly have no idea about Rugby League. You should probably not provide your opinions again, ever. There's a reason why QLD dominated NSW year after year after year after year after year, to the point the NRL started considering to bring in new States as it became a detriment to the game as QLD just thrashed NSW every year, after year, after year. When did Andrew Johns achieve that for NSW? Oh wait, he didn't. Thurston did. Year after year after year after year.

I always felt back then that if Johns was out Qld. had a chance. I think Thurston at his best was almost there and JTs kicking was also brilliant. Alfie was fantastic, but Johns was the sort of guy who could win it on his own. It was pretty horrible to watch him as a Qlder but i appreciated his brilliance.
@blindbunker777 Жыл бұрын
He played half-back in 1995 (NSW lost). He played half-back in 1998 (NSW lost). He played half-back in 1999 (Drawn). He played from the bench in 2000 (NSW won). He played half-back again in 2002 (NSW lost). He finally dominates Origin at half-back in 2003 (NSW won) & then has his legendary two games in 2005. But the record of Johns in Origin doesn't even come close to what Thurston did for Qld. Johns had less than 5 stand-out performances in Origin across a decade.
