I thought the ref should have got 10mins for that

Well, that was emotional.

Cracking game. Pleased for Thurston.

feel sorry for jack reed, he has had a great game. possibly mom until the last 10 seconds.

sam thaiday proving what a great man he is at the end with his emotional interview sat on the pitch

So pleased for Thurston, if ever a player deserved a G.F win...

Well done Cows

.

it was written in the stars for Thurston... how they produced that try on the last play is beyond me

How many penalties for messing at the play the ball?
How many penalties for offside?
Tough hard non compromising fast game.
Leeds v Wigan has a lot to live up to, but at least it will beat the other thing going in Manchester that night no matter what.
Great advert for the game.

thurston actually had a pretty mixed game up until that last moment. got caught in possession a few times and lost the ball that led to brisbane's second try, as well as some pretty good stuff too

Great game well done the Cowboys

TBF he's bound to get caught in possession a bit when everything is going through him. I'd put them more down to good defensive play.

They're two of my favourite NRL sides but I wanted a Cowboy win for Thurston (and the fact that it's the 20th anniversary of the cowboys). Would also have been happy to see a Broncos win to crown Bennett's return

The main reason there were not many penalties is because the referee mostly ignored the infringements. There was plenty of messing about at the PTB, particularly from the Cowboys that was simply ignored.

The offside is far better policed and the players more disciplined than over here.

That said, wow, what a game and what a finish. If our GF is half as good as that we are in for a treat next week. I can't help but have respect for Thurston. What a player and what a person too. The way he went to every Broncos player, especially Hunt after the game was good to see.

Right up there with the greatest games I've watched. Unbelievable game of Rugby League!

The best game iv ever watched hands down. Madeo up for Thurston, if anyone deserved that moment it was him, a true great.
