Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2201297, member: 1764"] Hammo, in short: - if Thurston's team is under the pump and he's struggling, he goes to shit - if Prince's team is under the pump, you know what you're going to get and he won't lose his head Queensland have Inglis, Slater, Hodges, Folau - players all capable of doing something themselves. What they need is a pair of halves that will keep the motor running and allow opportunities to present themselves. Ultimately when Thurston pulls off a "match winning play" it's on his own, it's nothing to do with setting for a play, it's just his ability to read when defenders are getting tired, get on their outside and "show and go". Prince and Lockyer have better vision, they know what's coming, they can plan for it. Plus, if you have Thurston at halfback it puts more organisational focus on Smith and Lockyer, both of whom then struggle to come up with the plays when it counts because they focussing on the shit the halfback is meant to do. Ergo, Thurston isn't a halfback. I really think Queensland need Prince and Lockyer if they're going to make it 4 in a row. I think with Thurston there Queensland are at real risk of being beaten by a young and desperate NSW. [/QUOTE]
