Thurston - Is it still possible?

As the days have gone by,many people have claimed we are no longer in the running to sign Thurston. Though on a previous blog I said we wouldn't be signing Isaac Luke, I still feel we're in with a chance for JT. Today, Fox Sports released an article saying that JT is no longer going to be captain for the Cowgirls, with Brent Tate the most likely replacement. However, even if JT saw this coming (after his incident in Brisbane), maybe that will be enough for him to leave the club. Maybe it is still possible for him to join the eels. Keep believing, u never know. Besides, he's much better than Orford, and if we don't get him, we have to get Cronk. Cmon eels. Show support for sigining Thurston.

  • "Deciding on whether or not he's the captain won't be decided now, it will be done closer to the season," a Cowboys source told The Sunday Telegraph.

    "And as far as sacking him is concerned, we're not considering that. No chance, why would we do that?"
  • we should be in his ears to pursuade him 2 cum 2 parra, wave that $700k infront of him NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

  • bring JT here
  • I didnt think it was possible as there is already how many? But you have done it, yet another fucking Blog about Johnathan Fucking Thurston.

    Seriously if he signs he signs , if he doesnt who gives a shit, but please for the love of god do we have top have 100 blogs about the same fucking thing??cant we just add thoughts to existing ones??
  • I would think that the reason we have so many blogs TB is that those that post the blogs haven't been here in a while, and thus rather than trawling through all of the previous blogs to do with that subject, they create their own, and so members post their thoughts in that blog too.
  • There is no need to trawl for a Thurston blog as there is at least 7 of them still on the front page!
  • Considering Thurston's one of the top 5 players in the world when in form plus his missus works in the Cowboys front office, there is buckleys and none he will be released.
  • dont read or reply then.
  • Michael, I'd be the happiest man alive if we signed Thurston, but I'm not counting on it. Can't see the Cowboys allowing him to play for another nrl club - but you never know if JT was unhappy enough he might sit out the season or whatever washed up in a messy background of litigation and who knows. In a nutshell, there's too many ifs and maybe's to count on.

    Hope I'm wrong and we pull the coup of our club history - would Love it. JT's a fierce passionate on-field competitor that can make things happen and would bring a dynamic on-field force that we really need. The concerns he's not a fit for us and/or would undermine our culture with his behaviour, I think, are biased because we might be a good fit for him and bring out the best in him.

"Just watch the Cup Highlights. EA is onto something, Latu looks a beast that is still super raw. Plus is a team player, he missed a tackle and can see him beating himself up but only missed 1 tackle all game."
