Wow!!

Would love to see him try something like that in a real game.

Old news.
I think it was Phil Clarke who mentioned this in commentary during the Oz vs NZ series opener at Warrington.

Nobody listens to rugby gods because he talks shoite

HTH

I'm more impressed with Thaiday doing it. I'm not really surprised that Thurston can.

But could Sir Kev?

I've seen Jamie Foster do that while he was warming up in our derby against Wigan at the DW last season.

I think most kickers to it. Longy used to. It's just part of aligning their sight for kicking duties. I'm sure Sinfield can do it.

It shouldn't really amaze us that guys who spend so much time working with a rugby ball develop some pretty good skills with it.
The kick from the corner by Thurston doesn't surprise me at all. It suits his style. Much as I hate to refer to that there other game that calls itself rugby, I wouldn't be surprised if Dan Carter could put them over from some distance behind the dead-ball line. Some of his kicks have unbelievable bend on them.

iv'e seen ryan hall do it at oldham st annes before we (oulton) played them one year. he was an outstanding goalkicker in his youth team.
