Show me the cash, is what Jonathon Thurston is saying. And at least in his interview, he didn’t hide from the fact that he will go to rugby union if they offer a nice sum.
The famous lines of, “I want another challenge”, is really starting to wear thin these days, especially when Thurston still doesn’t have a premiership ring.
Wouldn’t that be a big challenge, taking the Cowboys to their first Premiership?
So once again we have a NRL crisis in which one of the games’ best players is about to be poached and all we can do is cry for a few moments and then wait until the next superstar comes out of the ranks and is the new hero for the Rugby League public.
It’s plain and simple, really: rugby union has more money to offer our players.
No doubt Thurston would be good at rugby. He might actually get people interested in the game again.
The physical un-satisfaction he might get from a game of union compared to league would be fixed from a quick look at his bank statement.
I only he could get both from rugby league.
