QUEENSLAND superstar Johnathan Thurston has slammed the emerging players who broke curfew during a recent camp, claiming their actions have disrespected the jersey.

Thurston fully endorsed the decision to suspend Valentine Holmes, Cameron Munster, Ben Hunt, Anthony Milford, Jarrod Wallace, Dylan Napa, Edrick Lee and Chris Grevsmuhl with the eight players not eligible for representative duties in 2016.

“A little bit disappointed [by it], but I fully support Kevvie’s [coach Kevin Walters’] decision to ban them for 12 months,” the four-time Dally M Medallist told Omnisport in Manchester.

“We’ve created something special there and I think they’ve disrespected that jersey.

“I back Kevvie’s decision and what he has done 100 per cent.

“They’ll learn from it and I’m sure when the next camp rolls around, the boys won’t be making those decisions again.”

Cronulla winger Holmes was reportedly arrested and fined by police after a late-night incident in Brisbane.

The eight Queenslanders will not be considered for the 2016 Origin series and Thurston believes the punishment will eat away at them.

“It will be tough for them sitting on the sidelines and watching,” he said.

“They’re the next generation of that Queensland jersey. They’ve disrespected it and Kevvie’s made them pay, so they’ll find it tough being on the sidelines because all of them are pretty close to playing Origin footy.

“There’s a lot of the boys in that team that are on the wrong side of 30, so there’ll be a changing of the guard over the next couple of years and those boys will be disappointed that they’ll have to watch from the sidelines.”
