Johnathan Thurston QLD Maroons - #7/6 ᴴᴰ

[@no_shoes6706]

I think this is the best highlight reel/edit for Thurston out there. Other videos don't do what he did on the field justice. This is brilliant and I loved every second!

[@JackJonesProductions]

Cheers brother, appreciate it!!

[@jasegtree1206]

That's the truth 👍

[@dibbygee]

I've seen many tributes to Thurston- this gave me the best SoO thrills all over again! Great job mate

To me rugby league has never been the same since JTs retirement. This is an impressive compilation of the legend. Great stuff.

[@freddyamoslakera1415]

@J G Its not my concern

[@mr.andersonlol9860]

@J G very irrelevent but ok

[@darylkanofski9327]

The way JT read the game was just so far in front of other players, he would run to the line with ball in 2 hands and defence had no idea if he would pass or throw the dummy

[@rocca7779]

​@J G J.T bends the oval shape ball way better than Beckham can with a round one 😆 anyway soccer is for pussycats...meow 👋🤣

[@werriboy55]

My favourite picture of all time, Cowboys win the Grand Final, rest of the team celebrating in front of the crowd, Thurston sitting on the ground with his daughter in his lap playing with her doll. THAT'S a legend.

[@JackJonesProductions]

As a Broncos fan that hurt me badddly bro but yeah he’s a legend of the game

[@werriboy55]

@@JackJonesProductions Bet thing since Alfie got picked to play State of Origin out of the Ipswich group. Story goes everyone's trying to figure out a defence to cover him and Fatty Vauntin said put him the line, he's a Queenslander, he'll do his job. On to today, great comeback in the 2nd half. Defense was ferocious. Old school stuff. You got the ball you can run wherever you want to but if you run at me it's gonna hurt.

U could say that but theres a time and a place for that stuff he should hav been with the team for that moment

Lockyer and JT. Greatest halves pairing ever. 2 future immortals.

100% I still think it’s criminal that Locky isn’t an Immortal yet, people forget how good he was cause of JT, Cronk and Smith playing later then him

Very true bro

[@KellosV]

That was fire. Great video bro, thurston always seemed to perform very strong in origin.

[@sonnybill8271]

JT and Locky, the Greatest Halves Pairing I’ve had the privilege of watching since the birth of Origin, Darren Lockyer owned his craft as a stellar Fullback , but his transition to stand-off and becoming one of the greatest in the 6 jersey the game has produced will always hold him in high regard. As for JT, well, the heart of a Lion, consistency and persistence, the will to never give up, has truly cemented his legacy as the Games greatest Half back.

[@DEATH-_-MXSSIXH]

Agree 👍

[@simonhawkins7384]

Of his generation, he was my favourite player, and I'm a blues fan haha

[@andrewbryce2707]

From the UK and watching rugby league live I have seen Thurston play for Australia when they have toured and in world club challenge vs Leeds when representing the cowboys and Thurston is the greatest player I have seen live in person. When you focus your eyes just on him you see on the field just how intelligent he was. The way he could dictate a game was superb. If he would have been blessed with blistering pace he would have been truly unstoppable.

[@jeffma7507]

The spirit of maroon

[@waylander1905]

Looking at these highlights you realize so much of JT's brilliance was his constant awareness and being on the ball. From one on one strips, intercepts and not being afraid to get up in the line. He always put his body on the line and got hammered but made so many opportunities from that.

[@challengeaccepted750]

Kicking the winning goal in a sea of blue… the man is COLD!

Awesome video mate! JT is the GOAT!! Smith is very good at controlling the game but he could only dream of the amount of clutch plays this bloke has pulled off!! No one follows a play as much as JT he was always there!

Jonathan Thurston what you did for the state of Queensland in your last origin match with truly inspirational you are the living breathing example of the Queensland spirit I think you’re the greatest 6 to ever Played the game I want to say thanks for making that she’s not enough you are the king of the North

[@playerone6672]

As a kiwi and warriors fan man I used to love watching Thurston and Bowen do their magic and that's what they produced magical plays

[@DidiPort]

JT was very football smart, all heart and instinct. Tough as hell, a smaller man against giants, he would make the giants look silly. Brilliance personified. What a kicker of the Football, general play or goal kicking. One word sums Jonathan up Genius!

[@john2ndname]

Lord!..thankyou for JT!..you certainly have touch your light on the the sole of a great Champion!...Well done!

[@makamurphy]

Definitely not the same with these legends retired!!! I miss watching them play... fantastic players!

JT has always been my favourite player since I started watching NRL when I was 5. It's never been the same when he left and he's been the GOAT and the best player on the field. I remember those good old days with Slater and Thurston they're amazing, I wish we could go back to those NRL days
