I watched Jonathan Thurston have an absolute stinker last week and spoon all of his kicks. Nobody here gets on his back as they know he is the best.

People are knee jerking at the moment, but judge his kick percentage come the end of the year and it will be up there if not at the top.

It's without doubt he's a top class goal kicker.

I think it was just a little bit of fun given he has been basically kicking from touch each week.

Maybe I'm just losing my British sense of humour here

Humour does not translate well into the written word.

Maybe some people where being serious and I took it as humour.
