Johnathan Thurston - The Greatest Ever 

There will be players who think and play like thurston but no one will ever be better

Damn I'm soo thankful to have the oppurtunity to grow up following this mans career!

no one will come close to this man's greatness, an absolute master

Humans have been in earth for 200000 years and we had the miracle to watch jt play in our life times

As a chick AND a kiwi, i always copped so much sh*t for being a huge JT fan. it meant i was the only one wanting Aussie to win in the games against the kiwis, the only one watching state of origin, and the only one who wasnt a warriors fan. Because through and thgrough, i was a johnathan thurston fan and i still am. After losing my dad to a head injury which he sustained playing leaugue i grew up with a mum and grandmother who declared league as public enemy number 1. but i was always fascinated with what i knew my dad loved. ive somehow found a link to my dad through JT and as weird as it sounds, ive somehow found away of staying connected with him through following Jts amazing footy career. im grateful hes still very much involved with the game on the sidelines because ill truly miss him when he retires for good. not only was he an amzing player, but hes also an amazing man, father and husband...its been a total honour supporting him as a fan.

Thurston is a legend there’s no doubt about it.

After tonight's gen next I realise we as fans become irrelevant as the players,still the toughest man I ever saw was Jonathan Thurston..nothing else will ever come close for class,sportsmanship love ya dude

A real immortal, not like one player I can think of, and a brilliant human being as well.

True inspirational man. Amazing half back and the best kicker i have ever seen. I remember when he came over to play against leeds in 2016 and gave his signed kicking tee's and scrum cap to young rugby fans, putting smiles on their faces and making there day. What a guy. A true sportsman. The man can't get any more respected. 👏👏👏

NRL was blessed to have this man play the sport.

Saw him last night in Bundaberg with my 2 sons.It was a great night .From humble beginnings to a legend .One of the greatest players ever.Enjoy your retirement.Proud to be a Queenslander

Why the heck am I crying 😭

undoubtedly, johnathan thurston is the best rugby league player there ever was

feel blessed i witnessed this career start to finish in all its glory. im a broncos fan and re watching that grand final ending almost makes me cry tears of joy. no one deserved that more than him. he is the greatest to ever do it. no questions.

Greatest Of All Time Easily

He is the definition of Australian off the field

JT you are a future immortal. JT played with so much heart and so much determination. He was told he wasn't going to make it. His story is aspiring to any person whether it is Rugby League or anything else. JT done so much both on and off the field! Dignity, integrity and grace.

Gonna miss this joker....and im not even an Australian OR Cowboys fan. Exceptional player and an amazing human being!

This guy is up their with Locky, The King, Cam SMith, Slater, Cronk, QUEENSLANDER

I won’t you won’t see anything better than this man and what a amazing Australian

The best player I have seen in my lifetime....

As a bulldogs fan, Johnathan Thurston u fckn legend will be missed

He is the nrl half back king !!!!! Playmaker!!❤️😎

Damn what are legend💪gonna miss this big man..

Will be captain of the immortals one day!

The talent of the man is once in...well, a lot longer than the NRL. He knows it too, but what a great Queenslander.

Special on and off. A great First Nation and Aussie Legend.

Because he so good

JT is the best differently my favourite player of all time and when he had his side kick Matty Bowen just so great to watch play.

I will miss you JT

King of the North

The Kobe Bryant of NRL!

Best montage I’ve probably ever seen

Simply the best

They say his not an immortal well all I can say he one of the greatest rugby league player I've ever seen

this is incredible bocko. wow!

Great montage, good job bocko

Every time I see that 2015 last minute try it gets me up and down. I'm a Broncos fan, seeing Oates come off his wing when Morgan had three guys on him pisses me off, but also happy for J.T and the cowboys for all the bum decisions they copped in those semi finals. Always stay on your man wingers!

Whoever disliked this has no soul we will never have a man better then this man

GOAT..Will be missed.

The look on the Kid’s face supporting the Sharks is Priceless! 🤣

I look up to this man

Someone's cutting onions here

What a legend!😃

What a legend!!!

IMMORTAL

The GOAT

JT will be missed

This was gona make me cry god dammit

The GOAT on the field.................

The GOAT!

Miss this guy playing

The greatest of the greats who ever played the rugby league game.

im not crying, you're crying!

The best of the best and the king of greatest

Thank you for Jonathan (-0-)

Hell yes the man the myth the legend...JT💯💯💯💯🍻🍻🍻

No one is better

Jt should be made an immortal now he is and was amazing

Bloody Aussie legend

King of the North. Thurston,,, 👑

Best halfback in the game

Johnathan Thurston, Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, Greg Inglis, Cooper Cronk, Darren Lockyer...geez those players were a NSW's supporters worst nightmare...but dam weren't they all sensational players. They were winners.

As a doggies fan I am proud to say he came from us!!

Best half in the game ever no doubt

I believe if he was to come out of retirement any time soon he'd still cause headaches for the best of them.

NRL Mortel Hall Of Famer.

Fuckn beast of a player

I am still struggling with the concurrent retirements of JT, Captain Cam & Billy Slater! Although the departure of Roger Federer from the tennis arena was devastating, if Rafa leaves this year, I may be forced to quit the spectator’s box! (Although Carlos Alcaraz at 19 years of age may conquer new heights of unforeseen excellence.) Fortunately Leo Messi continues to dominate any soccer field, keeping my reservation open on my viewer’s chair!

Never seen a man get more MOM in internationals.....absolute legend and the most complete if not best player I’ve ever witnessed

Johnathon Thurston works as a part time courier for the company Deadline I've seen him on K Road Auckland City watta madman

No one could ever carry an average team and win against teams who had champion players like what JT did for the Cowboys! We will be lucky if we get to see another like him in our lifetime

GOD

The King in the north I’ll tell my kids that you are the greatestHalf of all time and you with a heart and soul of the Queensland age of heroes

Andrew Johns is the greatest of the modern era. Both he and Thurston were great in attack but what puts Johns well ahead is his defence. He could tackle a front rower like a front rower and an opponent rarely got past him. Defence was Thurston’s weakness. When Joey tackles you, you asked for the x-rays.

Being the legend he is why are the highlights of him only 5 min long or so the man deserves a highlights video of about 30 min or so

Whoever claims joey john's even comes close to Thurston are seriously demented

Coffs Harbour says otherwise.

He might not have been the biggest guy around...but just try telling him that? ultra physical!

Better than Johns better than Smith prob the best player in NRL history will be an Immortal, but he could play 6 or 7 by himself 13 v12 and still come off a winner, but between 2 number 7s Johns and Thurston, Thurston by a mile on and off the field. How he treated ball boys, fans, etc, he put bums on seats as a Rabbitohs fan Im so grateful that the try he scored that was a try was disallowed as, no matter how good we were that yr the Cowboys would have beaten us in the 2014 GF. But he got it all the following year. But everytime he got the ball near the try line id put my hands over my eyes waiting to see what he pulled out. But just had everything kicking. Running passing , step, and to think he was told he was too small to play NRL lol. But to give his ring to Price even though he would have got another one, just to have that thought in his mind at that time just shows what a sportsman he was. Never gave up and that showed with 5 secs to go in the GF of 2015. When evrryone else prob thought game over he was dancing around trying to create something and he did. The best GF since 89, im biased the biggest GF was 2014, but greatest GF ive watched in my life. He is a complete champion.

The greatest ever 🤷‍♂️

A captain to a legiond

That is why I play half back instead of fullback

JT and cooper cronk two legends of the game🐐

The greatest ever must be able to tackle and JT was a turnstile.

I’d consider Thurston in my top 3 greatest nrl players ever, but not the greatest. If I had to rank my 3 they’d be 1. Joey 2. Thurston 3. Lockyer

Listen to Zack Hemsey "The way" in another tab whilst watching this.

Wonderful footballer no doubt. But their were many halfs before Thurston and Johns. As years pass by we soon forget. I saw Billy Smith. Magnificent with Langlands. You talk to many of the older men. Theyll tell you the toughest to lace a boot. Ask Tom Raudonikis about Billy Smith. I bet you get a pretty good answer. The era back than was when men were at their toughest. Yeh and Tom was pretty tough to.

Camroon Smith Johnathan Thurston Billy Slatter My Rugby League Heros

7:22 the joy on that little kid's face when JT gives him his head gear

Simply the best there will ever be..

cant wait for my son to ask me who Jonathan Thurston is ....

only 2nd to joey johns

JT the Greatest

0:07

Can't be the best ever when you can't defend

Miss him or ready

Modern day KING Kenny Lockyer Wally Joey Cam Smith J.T

Johnathan Thurston is the greatest football in the world
