Thurston at the press conference.

Not sure if anyone has seen it but geez…. Thurston almost crying :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
He could barely say a word and the coach had to answer the questions for him.

Very close to blubbering like Kevin Rudd.

He's very passionate but he needs to harden up lol.

 

[benjibrotown]

Actually feel really sorry for him. He tries so hard week and week out but his team never wins games. If he had been in a top team over the past 5 years he wouldve had multiple premierships.

 

[stryker]

He's plenty hard enough mate….just staring down the barrel of another failed year...must be soul destroying. Especially when you give it everything.

 

[Jazza]

I guess I should rephrase what I initially said.

He is hard and tough but at the same time I think he needs to put things in perspective as well.

 

[Marshall_magic]

He must be gutted, he'd kick that penalty goal 999 times out of 1000\. He's a guy who gives it his all every time he laces on a boot no matter who he plays for. Felt sorry for the guy, he deserves better than he gets at the cowboys.

 

[stryker]

i'm waiting for Golden to see this thread and come in here sprouting his rubbish which when it regards JT is usually 180 degrees the wrong direction…..

 

[Geo]

Why did he resign…....he could have his pick of clubs........

Soul destroying.....he's adeqautely compensated.....

 

[spudoakes]

great player but hes a sook and poor loser re quarter final 05 & GF05

Yeah it's crushing, you gotta feel for him.

Should have changed clubs, could have been our marquee player for 2011 :wink:

 

[hammertime]

If he also didn't ask for so much money, he could have had a decent team around him…

 

[ron_burgandy]

i wish a couple of our big name players would show that emotion after a loss….......

 

[Alf_Duguid]

Thurston is a sook. No time for him at all.

 

[Juro]

If he also didn't ask for so much money, he could have had a decent team around him…

I'll second that. His salary has hamstrung the team so he is the main decent player there, meaning he has to shoulder such a huge burden. The salary cap is a very tricky balancing act…

I was thinking the same thing.
