There were 17 players to choose from, Hugo and Billy smith would have been the obvious ones, Hugo debuting and having a great game, Billy back from long injury scoring twice, Nat butch, big game, Watson 80min effort, but he chooses a guy, he has had some history with, that played 20min and wasn’t a game changer.
was it just a dumb moment from JT, or did he have an agenda?

Fox Sports and the Telegraph are sticking the boot in to Spencer because they are News LTD entities which happens to be the majority shareholder in the Brisbane Broncos Limited this is all by design. Have you heard a peep about how poor Haas, Carrigan, Walsh etc were on the weekend or have you only heard about Spencer confronting Thurston?

In 2004, several Bulldogs players were accused of sexual assault after a night out in Coffs Harbour. A 20-year-old woman claimed she had been gang raped by six Bulldogs players at a resort on the NSW mid-north coast.
No charges were laid against the players after a police investigation found there was insufficient evidence, but any public assumptions of their guilt went uncontested after the club advised its players not to address the incident.
"It was very serious allegations. I wasn't a part of [the group sex] but certainly we had broken team rules," Thurston said.
"That's the advice that we had been given [to keep quiet]. Everyone was tarnished with these allegations.
"It was a traumatic time for everyone. Obviously, the victim at the time and certainly the club at the time as well.
"Speaking about it is quite difficult knowing that my daughters will probably see this when they're older — and having to sit down and explain to them what is my side of this story is going to be tough."

Did Spencer go up to him first and say that? I’ve missed that then.
thurston calling for spence to be banned for 12 weeks was silly but i'm assuming he didn't attack spence personally and for him it was a question of principle. but you can't blame spence for taking it personally. not to mention that the 8 weeks was over the top, especially cos spence is pasifika. what would have happened if an indigenous player called mam a monkey? if an indigenous team mate called him a monkey and both smiled?
