The reason he's the Goat because he started from Scratch. Its all because Cowboys was robbed so many times over the Years and through his persistence winning the Grandfinal in 2015. 😢.. Not A Cowboys Fans but to work hard all year around only to be robbed by Paid Referees. 😢😢
He couldnt win it without Morgan though, watch it again he is clueless and throws a hail mary to Morgan who gets it done
@@DaShA69684 and whole team wouldn't have won it if kyle feldt didn't steal the ball twice to get the ball back to score the try
@@kapuagutchen8171 they all started from scratch
They all fought hard for it. If I can recall, they lost like 6 consecutive matches at the start of the year, then went on to go 15 matches unbeaten in 2015. Truly deserved their premiership
JT will forever be one of the Goats of RL. Watching him play was a joy. The only player that played with one arm in the State of Origin game. He has so much respect that no NSW players wanted to attack him. Will forever be a legend. The drop goal to win the cowboys the GF was felt by everyone. Think even some Broncos fans wanted him to win it. There will never be another player like him again.
I bin watching rugby for 45 years n in my time I have never come across a player like JT n Cronk.
@@kaciaway4167 Sterling, Kenny, Stuart Alfie, Fittler and Lockyer all played within the last 45 years, all better than JT and Cronk
@@DaShA69684 yep they r all absolute champions , but we all see things but different.. I have Fittler at 3 n Lockyer at 4 … Kenny for me not quit in the top ten but certainly a great player👍all the same it’s still the greatest game on earth period
You should have spent some of those years learning basic grammar
Both of them deserve to be immortals. They have similar stats to that of Andrew johns
Doesn't matter who you support, you can't but admire the player and the Man that was Jonathon Thurston....and as a NSW supporter, fear him every-time he touched the ball...
When he played for bull dogs he played most of the game off the bench cowboys made him the man he is today
JT true definition of Never give up. My favorite all time player💪🏿💪🏿💯💯
He's a great because he played in the most brutal and violent era of Rugby league and he was a small man but he did amazing things at club level, international level and origin level. Nathan cleary is great but he is in a era were his a protected species.
Man I was just telling a mate that I wish someone would do deep dive videos on NRL like a few AFL/rugby channels already do. Love your work 👍
Him and @TheLeaguie are the only two I’ve seen really do it. People should definitely do it more
Love the vids man, glad someone is doing this format of video for rugby league
Jt is truly the goat 🐐
That was very cool. Good job mate
Really loving your content and delivery style mate, keep up the great work!!
How about doing one please on everyone’s favourite ALLEGED rapist, Dale Shearer?!
keep up the great work bro haven’t found a lot of nrl youtube channels that do documentary type vids like these
It’s only really him and @TheLeaguie who is rly good also
Mehe mai bless the cowboy 🤠in life 🙏mr Thurston 🎉ka.pai bless the lord 🙏 💖
Great video
Half of his greatness come with his partner in crime on the field Matty Bowen 👍
Really enjoy your videos mate keep up the good work! Can you do Andrew Johns?
There's only one GOAT and that's the Immortal Joey John's, untouched. Great clip as usual
Ah, truer words were never spoken my man.
I wonder if anybody can beat Thurston's 36 try assists at origin level.
JT what a legendary player! One of my favourite players... always played with heart! But to be fair, he didn't have a better career than Cameron Smith or Cooper Cronk... JT definitely is one of the greatest rugby league players to play the game but not no.1 in my opinion!
Anyway on another note, the videos on the playlist on my channel titled 'Purpose of Life?' might interest some people!
Nah instead he built up a average cowboys and carried them to a premeriship team meanwhile Cronk and smith were both in the biggest salary cap scandal in nrl history.. ina storm side over 1mill over the cap including biggest NRL grand final lost in history (40-0).. and cheaters do not compare to the greatest of all time which is a conversation between JT, Andrew John's and Darren Lockyer...
Jamal idris vid next?? 👀
Lol
My best memories of Johnathon was staring as a hobit in Lord of the Rings. I was proud we got an Australian in this Epic Movie. I did not know he also played a bit of football.
Which part of lord of the rings?
favourite player that never played for the tigers
If they won all 3 premierships and the one they did win, they could have had the first 4 peat 😢, but the refs robbed them. No surprise, there 😒
He was the best since the Goat! The Goats name was Andrew Johns, he was the complete player!!
No way is he even near one of the greatest of all time
people forget rugby league consists of attack AND defence. when you account for defence hes not in the top 25,000 players to play the game
He's the best yeah
@@russtang24bullshit
Well down the list of halfbacks top 10 yes top 5 no way😂
All white club is crazy 💀
Imagine if he stayed at the doggies 😅
Yeah he's the goat.
Lol what about the ...... Allegations
Yep,he was the main character in the g-bang fiasco. That's why he got the chop-my brothers best mate was a life member who had money and he knew abit of inside news.
Well spill the beans, tell us more
Gambling allegations also
Seems queenslanders are more offended by recreational drug use than rape allegations.
This is what an immortal looks like. All you Cleary fan boys know he will never achieve greatness like JT.
he is the goat. not one of the goats
Guy goes to a school named st Mary’s????? Wtf
The king of Coffs Harbour
This guy aside from Dally Ms has not got much accolades compared to someone say like Cooper Cronk. Yet hes always in the goat convo but Cronk isnt 😂. How is that fair 😂.
I'd say because he wasn't surrounded by stars. Hard to gauge really, everybody has their own opinion on who's best.
And what about his 3 Golden Boots?
Thurston never played with 2 future hall of famers in his club team unlike Cronk
JT has the highest amount of try assists in Origin History. His the best ever at origin level.
He was brilliant but "the goat" ahhh no he wasn't the goat! If he was a blue I may agree tho sepucally for 11 from 12 recored ...Dam!!
Cam smith is where
He pushed the 💉
I don’t get why the overwhelming majority of people say he’s the goat
Because those people have accepted the fact that since Andrew Johns retired, several players have had a greater impact on the game than he had. Thurston being one of them.
because young people are morons. There is absolutely no way Thurston is the GOAT, it's a load of BS.
@@dermo1702 Cameron smith is better than him
@@Skwjsjsn I totally agree.
He holds the record for the most try assists in Origin History. He only lost two Origin series in his entire career. In the 8 series in a row that QLD won, over 50% of the points were either try assists from Thurston or points directly scored by him.
GOAT?
lol, what a load of nonsense.
He is a great player, but calling him the GOAT is an absolute joke.
Well, it's either JT, Joey, or Cam Smith (cam only based on his resumè not game play, in my opinion).
The rest like Mal, Lewis, Lockyer, etc. are great but not the greatest
Go back and rewatch his Origin career. He has the highest amount of try assists in Origin History. And he had to compete with Billy Slater, Darren locker, Greg Inglis, Cameron Smith, and Cooper Cronk for try assists. His by far the greatest Origin player ever, no one is even close.
He played the game Joey invented, there are 5 or 6 players ahead of him, he isnt even an immortal, has he won 3 GFs in a row and scored two tries in each of them
Sorry but Joey didn’t create the game. All he did was merely take attributes, Langer, Stuart, Lewis and Sterling had. Which is the natural progression of things. The new guy does what the old guys did.
Besides Joey has 1.5 premierships. Given Newcastle won a divided comp and would have lost convincingly to Brisbane had they faced off. Joey played nearly half his representative career off the bench or at hooker or even 5/8 with Langer and then Kimmorley preferred at halfback. Joey ain’t even on Alfie’s level.
@@troystaunton254 JT wouldnt have won the GF at the cowboys without Morgan, is Alfie an immortal? Joey won Origin in QLs backyard, JT was a poor copy of Joey
If you think Thurston isn't a better player than Joey you'd better stop pulling yourself as you'll be totally blind.@@DaShA69684
@@DaShA69684 and Joey did it all on drugs, legend
JT GOAT, yeah !
Cleary, Johns >>>
You forgot to mention he got arrested for a drunken night out and landed in jail and still had his phone on him and he called triple m radio station and the copper busted him , as for being a goat I don’t think so
