Thurston is a remarkable talent.

Aye. I'd never thought I would see a halfback possibly better than Johns in my lifetime, let alone so soon after him.


Plus he's not a qunt.

Meanwhile, another Future Immortal, Cam Smith, plays his 400th top class game this weekend - 320 NRL, 36 SOO, 44 Tests.

The year for Parra fans just gets better:


Parramatta Eel Corey Norman to face court on illegal drugs charges

Nick Ralston

Parramatta Eels half Corey Norman has been ordered to front a court after he was allegedly caught with MDMA capsules and muscle relaxants at Sydney's The Star casino.

Police issued the court attendance notice to Norman's legal team on Wednesday afternoon.

He will face the Downing Centre Local Court in July on two charges - possessing a prohibited drug and possessing a prescribed restricted substance.

Norman was with a group of men who were stopped during a routine metal detector search when the Eels five-eighth was allegedly found in possession of a container with pills.

Another member of the group is believed to have stepped forward and claimed that the container was his.

Detectives from the Organised Crime squad are also wanting to speak with Norman to issue him a warning for allegedly consorting with convicted criminals.

Norman's housemate, Penrith Panthers hooker James Segeyaro, and Eels teammate Junior Paulo were issued with the same warning in the last 24 hours.

However when police turned up at Segeyaro and Norman's Silverwater home at 7:30am on Wednesday the Eels five-eighth was not home.

It is understood attempts by police to locate Norman throughout Wednesday have been unsuccessful, leaving police to issue his court attendance notice for the drugs via his legal team.

The consorting warning for the trio came after Fairfax Media published a photo of the trio dining at The Century Chinese restaurant at The Star casino with former bikies boss Paulie Younan and alleged fraudster and money launderer Rafat Alameddine.

The photo is believed to have been on the same night Norman was allegedly caught with the drugs.

Mr Alameddine, 25, was at the dinner while currently on bail having been charged with fraud offences.

Sitting three seats over from him was former senior Nomad bikie boss Mr Younan.

Mr Younan was handed his bikie colours by former Nomad boss Sam Ibrahim and has previously been locked up on unrelated charges in NSW, which involved the alleged kidnapping of Stephen Toy from a car park near Red Rooster restaurant in Granville.

Mr Toy was alleged to have been bashed and stabbed, tied to a chair, beaten with a plank of wood and threatened with his thumbs and toes being cut off and sent to his mother, but in 2010, the kidnapping and other charges against Younan were dropped and the NSW government later paid him his legal costs of approximately $20,000 for wrongful arrest.

He was also at one time a member of the Bandidos bikie gang but is now believed not to be affiliated with any outlaw motorcycle gang.

He keeps terrible company.

All those useless Parramatta footballers AND now the bikies and druggies.

should I tip the Dragons against depleted Cowboys?

I wouldn't.

Cowboys have a bit of depth, though this will be a reasonable test JT's influence.

Drags are rubbish. Tick the Cows, Nath.

Bugger me, the shitty Tigers knocked over the Nags.

That's one Bennett would have had in the win column despite Origin.

Coastal Filth fixing?

"THE NRL has today been rocked with allegations that games have been fixed, with police investigating matches.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the State’s Organised Crime Squad is looking at least two games.
...
It is understood the games under investigation are Manly v Souths round 16 last year and Manly v Parramatta round 24 last year. Manly lost both games 20-8 and 20-16 respectively."

The Wolfman was mentioned in dispatches on the wireless this morning.

Boot them out of the comp.

I reckon Foran might have played his last game of NRL.

So your mail is that he was involved?

He was a leader at Manly. He was recently seen with Hason in Qld while Manly were playing there. Plus there's those "issues".

Also getting mail about a high profile former jockey with links to rugby league as well as a pair of brothers at the Coastal Scum.

Cheers MrK.
