Thurston will be more dangerous at five-eighth, says Marshall

BENJI MARSHALL has predicted Johnathan Thurston will be more of a threat playing outside Robert Lui at North Queensland and admits the departure of his scrum-base partner is a huge blow for Wests Tigers.

Thurston will make his first regular appearance in the No. 6 jersey with the Indigenous All Stars team on Saturday night and Marshall believes he is better suited to five-eighth than the halfback role he has played for Australia, Queensland and the Cowboys since 2005.

While it may take time for Thurston to settle into the position, Marshall said the presence of Lui - released by the Tigers during the off-season after a second domestic violence charge in two years - will make the transition almost seamless at club level.
''I think that's his position personally and I reckon he'll kill it,'' Marshall said of Thurston's switch to five-eighth. ''Robbie Lui in my opinion is a great player and I think he will do wonders for JT's game.
''I am spewing we lost Robbie but that is footy, and at the same time his off-field behaviour sort of warranted that move. But he is a big loss for us.''
With Lui gone, Marshall said he wasn't even sure who the Tigers first choice halfback would be this season. However, he wasn't volunteering after being forced to wear the No. 7 jersey for the NRL All Stars in the first two seasons of the annual clash because Darren Lockyer was five-eighth.

Lockyer's retirement has also opened the door for Thurston to play five-eighth at State of Origin and Test level and Marshall said he would benefit from having more room to attack and less responsibility for organising the team.

''The thing about JT is he's got great vision from anywhere so when you sit back at five-eighth and watch a game you get to see a lot more of what's happening,'' Marshall said. ''When you are at seven, you get caught around the ruck and you are only watching what is going on around the ruck so JT will probably see a lot more space and I think that's dangerous.''

有可能今年Soward没入选Indigenous All Stars team里就是因為Thurston shift to No.6的原因。

有可能，一山不能有二老虎。

看了土著人的上半场比赛，22比12，土著人领先，以为是一边倒了，就没看下半场，看新闻居然NRL ALL STAR下半场翻盘了，38比28。看比赛好像今年的NRL引进了Powerplayd的新规则，每方各有5分钟，可以把对方弄下去2人。

powerplay 好像只是在表演赛上有用。
平时的联赛是没有用的。
