No one should delude themselves that Thurston would have been a Rooster given a less mentally deficient coach.

He's on a shitload of cash at the Cowboys. He makes them competitive. If he had come to the Roosters as a reserve grader, he would have played for peanuts and got the overs when he became a marquee player.

He has the innate skills of Freddy. I often torture myself at the thought of him playing with Freddy. I could have scored on the bloody wing with that halves combo.

I disagree wit ya! Don't you think other high profile clubs would have offered him lotsa cash and a City lifestayle? The guy is in Townsville cause he is smalltown, like John Mellancamp. Sure they pay him well but the broncos, Melbourne(with all their rortrts), StGeorge and us could have offered as much if not more. He would not have lasted 2 seasons with us. He just wasn't right to play for a high profile club in the big city. As for playing with Freddy, it was only a dream.

Thurston went where he can do what he likes, when he likes, how he likes and be protected by a favourable media outlet who would turn a blind eye to his antics.

Much like Lockyer the protected one

I acknowledge your premise.

I think Brett Finch's most destructive personality trait was frustration. If things were cruising then he could play well. Like when he went to Melbourne, he was surrounded by (illegal) talent in Cronk, Smith and Slater then he could relax and do his bit.

At the Roosters towards the end he had Anasta, Mini and an ageing Fitzy to deal with.

I will never say I miss him, that would be too sick even for me, but I can forgive his sins.

I will, however, never EVER forgive Ricky Stuart.

Bastard that he is.

I hope that the Blues lose every single game under him.

madduke can you elaborate a bit on why u despise ricky stuart, dont get me wrong i cant stand the f**KING whingeing anal retard myself, just curious as to what he did at the roosters, is it what "crickey chris" eludes to in his post something to do with thurston.....
