Johnathan Thurston

Now personally I hate the man Thurston, but the player Thurston is the best halfback in the game and I think Parramatta really needs him. The more I watch the Eels play and the more I watch the Cowboys play I see what Thurston can bring to our team o

We don't believe in ourselves

I reckon the reason we start so crap is because the team mentality is soft. Melbourne have been able to get up for the season four years in a row from the start, the image of consistency, Manly, as much as I hate to say it, too, could do that for a c

Do People Watch the Game?
