Goal kicking exploits worthy of some words. His place kicking has really moved on to the next level, becoming Aussie kicker, but Origin and Cowboys? Londo06 18:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
the article for Toowoomba lists Thurston as being from there. His article cites Brisbane. Can we verify which one is his birthplace?--Jeff79 22:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible for somebody to resize the picture? Thanks.
While the NZ Maori Rugby League seems to support Johnathan Thurston being of Mãori ancestry[1], there are otherwise no reputable sources supporting such claim. Furthermore, there was a Daily Telegraph article[2] that acknowledged Thurston's Aboriginal heritage but only stated that Thurston's father was a New Zealander. Hence, I have removed any mention of a supposed maori heritage. Imperialtwelve (talk) 16:42, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

MOS:1STABBR indicates that on the first occurrence of an abbreviation it should be introduced with the full expression, ie. "National Rugby League (NRL)". Removing the full version from the lead entirely does not solve the problem of abbreviations later in the text. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:05, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
For my two cents worth, the opening sentence is fine, either with or without the NRL qualifier. The later "of the NRL" sounds weird, and IMO shouldn't be reintroduced.
