Thurston having a poor game often will resemble his front line......
If Taumoulolo, Scott, Tamou, Cooper, Lowe dominate - its easy days.
Far from in todays effort & Thurston suffered.....
Have a feeling he is still injured also.
NO half in rugby league history will dominate a game the forwards lose - Even the king tried & failed - closest I have seen as a 5/8 playing well behind a beaten pack are Cliff Lyons & Brett Kenny.
He was poor last week as well.Woeful today
8 missed tackles or 40% of attempts
Agree Wombatgac it so funny Thurstn is so overrated.One of the worst halfback performances in the history of the game. Fortunately he has a some great players around him to make him look ok.
I clearly remember one time he threw a long ball to a winger who once again was way too shallow who fell over because he had to check his run and restart resulting in the ball over the sideline. Anyone who has ever thrown a long pass to a winger with fresh air in front of himknows the joy when he stands deep. Not excusing his poor game but just a factor I do not get. Thurston is obviously a great player but Kenny is my favorite and I would like him in my team ahead of Thurston. Kenny's performances in his GF's were so far ahead of Thurston last year despite the best on field award that it is not funny. Milford to me was clear Man of match last yearThurston having a poor game often will resemble his front line......

You can forgive the coach for one off poor player displays, but if they are consistently poor then the coach ought to wear the blame for either not correcting the issue or not dropping the player.How come it's not the coaches fault for not sending out a message saying "play better."
Thurston would never have missed those tackles if that useless bloody coach green had said to him at half time 'Thurston ... don't miss tackles"
