Finally! Thurston is slammed

[Ms.Nobody]

Good ol Matty Rogers:

RECOVERING North Queensland skipper Johnathan Thurston has been described as a "speed hump" in defence by dual international Mat Rogers.

The Cowboys bristled at Rogers' claim that Thurston had come back too soon from two shoulder reconstructions and was a defensive liability.

To add further fuel, Rogers rated his Gold Coast Titans halves partner Scott Prince the best halfback in the game ahead of the Cowboys playmaker.

Thurston pulled off one of the great comebacks last Friday night, returning more than a month early from injury to notch 14 points including two tries in a 36-18 loss to the Gold Coast.

But Rogers was adamant Thurston shouldn't be playing.

"He may have scored two tries but he was a liability out there in defence," Rogers said on his website.

"I even ran straight over the top of him - twice - and I never get to use anyone as a speed hump."

Rogers said using Thurston now may come back to bite the Cowboys.

As if it was one of the best comebacks

Anyhow, do you agree this could effect the Cowboys later down the track?

Not really, if he does make a sucessful come back, then it wont.

Good on Rogers for comming out and saying, something the others wont...

that's nothing different Thurston has never been a good defender he can tackle just position himself well or slide you watch most comboys games and alot of the tries they concede are from his mistakes
