    Queensland and Test great Greg Dowling says the Cowboys should sack Johnathan Thurston after his drunken arrest

    FORMER Queensland Origin great Greg Dowling says the Cowboys should sack Johnathan Thurston as captain following his drunken arrest in Brisbane early today.

    Thurston was arrested and charged with public nuisance in the early hours of this morning after he was kicked out of a Brisbane casino for harrassing people with his walking crutch and then wrestling on the bonnet of a taxi with a former Brisbane lower grade player.

    `When you've got human involvement you're always going to make mistakes but unfortunately when you're the club captain you've got to set an example,'' Dowling said.

    "You need someone to lead your club who has got an impeccable record.

    "That's why Matt Scott is my pick for club captain here.''

    And he said Thurston's arrest had to be the catalyst for sweeping change in the club's culture.

    "It's part of a worrying culture off the field,'' he said.

    "We've seen it too often, players are out injured and you seem down in the night club precinct blind.

    "It's got to be looked at, they've got to make changes, set guidelines.

    "I can't believe they haven't done that.''

    Again, the telecrap gets it wrong. They leave out "from the captaincy."

    Though I suggest if they want Anasta, that we swap him for Thurston.

    Carney at 6, Thurston at 7

    Like the Australian side will be.

    Then we really would be buying the comp. I've always thought Pearce would be a great defensive center/lock like his father.

      As if your club captain would end up paralytic and in police care.

      Love your work, Freddy.
      It's scientifically impossible for Easts to be in Souths' shadow when there's daylight between them and us.

          he got arrested because he was a smart ass. I'm sure cops have better things to do then be disrespected by idiot footy players. Next time say sorry sir and move on and he won't be arrested.. Story is over the top

            "Queensland Cops are really, really dumb so run Thurston run Thurston run run run!"
