Johnathan Thurston QLD Maroons - #7/6 ᴴᴰ 

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!

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

Im a rooster and blues supporter , but jt is the best player ive seen in the last 40 + years , just never gives up .

Greatest half back I’ve seen

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

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.

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.

I will remember JT for his banana kicks. It's like, "wow! How did he do that?" Really unbelievable.

Thurston is one of the greatest banana benders. Just like his goal kicking! Go Queensland!

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

thurston inglis were a deadly combo

The spirit of maroon

Origin will never be the same without all the legends that retired over the last few years.

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

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.

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

Thanks Jack Jones for taking us down memory lane to remember one of the greats in our game. 🐐🐐

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.

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

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!

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!

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

Everytime I have a bad day...I come back to watch this video. Brightens up my day. Gives me goosebumps everytime. Thanks for this production. Keep them coming...greetings from Rugby league wild country ... Papua New Guinea.

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

Thurston, inglus, Darren, correy✊🏽🔥❤

Great playmaker and sharp shooter in goal kicking.

QLD 10 WIN IN 11 YEARS BIGGEST WIN IN STATE OF ORIGIN HISTORY 💯💯💥💥💪💪💪QLD NEVER SAY DIE,,💪💪💪

Always💜 the greatest player JT💜 love from ur fan in Fiji💜💜💜

Thurston,Cronk,Slater and Smith man i miss those days watching the blues getting choked year after year😭😭 all the best maroons to this years series👏👏💯

Love Thurston and Hans Zimmer. Perfect combo. JT is the dark knight.

QLD were so unstoppable back in the days. Back in the 2000s and even in the 10s but not so much. They 8 year streak was to good. And even the 3 year one. But this year for the QLD team was something else. I believe they can do better. They just weren't woken up yet. #UpTheMaroons 🔊

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

Long live jt✊,, we miss you.

I didn’t want that to end! Incredible job!!!

Its ao beautiful...i've looked at it for 5 hours now.

times like these where we need him the most 😭😭

I know this video is for JT, one of the greats, but look at Izzy's catch at 3:03, I can't help but miss him, from either league or union

I can watch those conversions all day 🔥

From legend to immortality

Haunted the blues for a decade.........harry grant and kalyn ponga for the next decade

Beautiful to watch... cowboys miss him

Thurston and Inglis Cronk and Slater Lockyer and Smith Without a doubt the True Sinister six of Queensland

One of the best ever. So good to watch.

He started it, and always ended the game! NEVER GAVE UP

Outstanding highlights package for an absolute genius of the game. Always loved watching JT play and I was fortunate enough to meet this legend of our game.

Great upload mate, QUEENSLANDER!,bro this gave me goosebumps!

Undoubtedly one of the best player ever

What a legend and great servant of the game. Had tears in my eyes watching and reminiscing his trademark plays in Origin. Awesome compilation 👍🏽

Anyone else getting goose bumps and shivers down there spine watching this man

He's the best player I've seen

You forget how good he was sometimes, great clip

Miss watching this absolute legend play

Thurston is the best player I've seen to date.

This is a better highlights package on JT than the one that NRL did last year that was like 2 min 🤦‍♂️

When the selection panel for the rugby league Immortals finally gets serious, there WILL be Langer, Lockyer, Smith and Thurston alongside Sterling, joining Beetson, Lewis and Meninga in the hallowed ranks. ALL of them born in Queensland, just sayin' (yep, even Sterlo).

Best edit out there by far. Really did JT justice with this vid. Awesome work

To think he has still done more for rugby league off the field then on it. Just a real champion.

Great video mate some of my best memories growing up watching those games.. I always end up rewatching highlights for an uplift 🍻

One of the greatest. Him and Alfie best halfbacks ever

I cried watching this... loved this man as a kid

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

What a player! Excellent video great choice of highlights 👌

8:20 that's Thurston all over

First time watching this it is Brilliant, from To small to a Legend.

He was what you call a wizard

Geez we've been privileged to see him and the others in his generation play.

That kick to level the series...goosebumps

Best vid of Thurston hands down, well done man that was awesome

thurston, cronk, Smith, slater, inglis, love watching them dismantle nsw year in year out for a decade was just brutally damaging for the blue boys. 👑👑❤️❤️💪💪💯💯🙏🙏

Beautiful, awesome vid

Those place kicks are insane

Thank you for great memories 👍🏾

Thanks. Great video mate 👍🏽

As a blues supporter I hated Thurston growing up but now I have respect and recognise him as one of the greatest to ever do it

I love how he pumps that dummy pass 😂😂

There will never be anyone as good as Thurston in my eyes

Just too good mate, a true legend.

Keep it up mate great vid

Great edit

The best NRL player in history

I never get tired of watching JT kick for goal

a true legend in our game and a hall of fame immortal ☝️

Amazing 💯💯

Cannot wait to see the new batch of superstars from both great teams but forever will be a queenslander

great edit

I don't know if anyone else in history or future will have a highlight reel like that..

The best to ever do it

Johnathan Thurston, always was and always will be too DEADLY

I wish Folau didn't leave the league he was making waves with his jumps man.

The kick chase with the music gives me chills Little 1%s 8:20

What a player, what a gentleman.

stuff of Legends A Champion player for a champion team always steps up when needed one of the key pillars in The Greatest Maroons dynasty which will never be erased in Origins folklore

Thurston was light years ahead of Joey

Darren Lockyer, Jonathan Thurston, Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Greg Inglis, Dane Gagai, Cameron Smith are the GOATs IMO

And this was just his origin highlights. Sheesh!

JT is the greatest of all. He is the Lionel Messi of Rugby League

Wow mate, that was epic.

the amount of accuracy in his kicks holy shit

They said he might be one of greatness his fucking immortal

That 1 on 1 strip was clean
