Can an aging Jonathon Thurston at the age of 33 with an extremely average performance in winnings his first Grand final compete with the 26 year old DCE who won his first grand final at 22 years of age?
You bag the forwards then bag the halfAre you serious.
Thurston is the best player in the game. DCE would be lucky to be in the top 10 halves in the NRL based on 2015 form.
I'm serious!Are you serious.

Dce in his life time playing nrl will not be like thurston I'm afraid.Even andrew johns occasionally had quiet games JT rarely has quiet games.Dce would have to 90% take controll of games to ever be like JT.
You're either playing devils advocate, have a poor sense of humour, or you're a moron.I'm serious!
Thurston is an aging player and is past his best like Watmough.He almost lost the grand final for NQC.
Are you seriously suggesting a player who did not win one premiership till the age of 32 is better the DCE who won a premiership at the age of 22 and has the potential to win many more.
Please think for yourself, watch the actual game, look at real stats and not let the media persuade the way you think. The media is biased towards larger markets that give the larger advertising revenue.
Thurston career win percentage = 55%
DCE career win percentage = 67%
Please prove me wrong with some real statistics.
I rest my case.
Hahahahaha which part the 90% stat.How about you watch thurstons games & you'll see what i mean.You're kidding!
Thurston has a 55% win record compared to DCE 's 67%.
DCE been the dominant half in the NRL for the last 5 years.
When Manly get a decent forward pack you will see the best of DCE again.
Please back up your claim with some actual statistics.
Thurston won the first of 4 Dally M medals in 2005 at the age of 22. He was a permanent fixture in the QLD SOO side at 22. He had 3 Dally M medals by the time he reached 26 (the age of DCE).Thurston is the best player in the game but he's not as good as they hype that follows him in my view.
DCE is a fair way behind, but he is probably in a similar place to where Thurston was at his age.
If DCE turns out to be anywhere near as good as Thurston I'll be thrilled.
A rort. Simple as that. The bookies would have been royally pissedI still don't know how Thurston got the Clive Churchill in the grandfinal. Obviously picked completely on reputation
Pfffft - DCE at the moment is nowhere near JT.. Give him 4 or 5 years...You bag the forwards then bag the half
You can't bag both that's idiotic
Our pack didn't lay any platform and we barely missed the finals
Or 5/8 was garbage and DCE was injured
I'd rather give him a comparable forward packPfffft - DCE at the moment is nowhere near JT.. Give him 4 or 5 years...
