I tried to get info out of him.
He doesn't know much but this is what was said.
Q: Is Thurston coming to Parra?
A: Not sure. He hates it up there mostly Neil Henry but mate he's on big dollars. He's a big whinger.
Q: Why the hatred towards Henry?
A: He's a booksmart coach but hopeless at making anyone feel welcome. He singles out players with abuse infront of other players. None of the players like him. Not a people's person
Q: What happened with Gould?
A: Not interested after speaking to some of the players.
Q: Is Tonga leaving?
A: Everyone wants to leave. It's a matter of who can get out of their contracts. I was offered 3 yr deal and said no way.
By the way, Reni was there and looked sharp and fit.
I asked him a few questions as well.
Q: Exited about Parra
A: All the way to the GF
Q: Met any of the boys and who are u hanging with
A: GURU
He kept clean all night. I was quite impressed.
Other players there included GI and Crocker.
Overall a good night!
Good luck Willie!

Its like rats jumping off a sinking ship, but I can see why JT stays, he gets big coin and gets to smash NSW each year and play for Aust as well, he'd be on a massive total wicket.
this is the reason why Orford is back in favour.
Mason's got them in place in England.
You find that the majority of the elite players dictate their terms of agreement. It wouldn't suprise me if thurston had something in place. The best player in the world after Hayne! gets what he wants and his manager's ensure that. They get paid to do that.
A shitty player is not in control but thurston would have so matter clauses in his contract, trust me.
what about the sponsors, members and season ticket holders they face losing if they decide to let him go?
have any of you actually considered this at all??
all his is academic, he's staying put.
sadly we'll have to make do without an ace #7, the best we can hope for is a relatively fit and undoubtably cunning oldish fox in Orford
