Good on you COWBOYS....

October 06 2015

Has anyone acknowledged the great win for the Nth QLD Cowboys in last sunday' s Grand Final ? If not ' here it is ... Just want to congratulate Jonathan Thurston , Matt Scott , on their teams gutsy win. Not to mention all the faithful supporters who live for their team.. Yes ' no Sydney team made it this year but this is not what this is about, its about a team of winners who deserve the accolades they are entitled to. Even if they do live on the wrong side of the boarder... I'm a died in the wool supporter of a famous Sydney club but never the less it was good to see the Cowboys take out the big one. This is their first premiership win in 20 years.. Next year we want it back in NSW where the trophy belongs.. but for now ... Good on ya Cowboys...

    Football,but I think Jonathon Thurston is an amazing person,a great role model for young people ,young indigenous people in particular...not because he is a great player but because I suspect he is a great person...but what a shame Wayne Bennett could not be gracious in defeat xxFreya

    Unless I'm in the tipping comp at work and I'm at thee top of the ladder. But I was in NSW at the time and I watched the Grand Final with a friend that night. I admired the support Jonathon Thurston went straight to Ben Hunt at the end of the game and told him to hold his head up high. I believe that is true sportsmanship.

    I get that Thurston and his wife won't read this ... More a tribute to a couple of sporting icons and their team for a big effort .. So your point is ?

    You're right on a few fronts... Thurston is a great ambasador for the indigenous youth as well as youth in general. When the Cowboys played Melbourne a few weeks back , Thurston ran to the fence at half time and handed his headgear to a young boy .. Big deal you might say , but the boy and his family were not Cowboy but Storm supporters... The boys face said it all... Wayne Bennett lost me a few years back.. Being humble is not always one of his greatest strengths..

    Why do you think it belongs in NSW. We have won State of Origin 9 of 10 last years. All Qld grand Final. Lets have the Grand Final played in Qld.

    Best game Ive seen ( except when my mighty dragons won in 2010 after 30+yrs( thanks to Wayne Bennett) I live in brissy but am a sydney girl, so will never go for the Bronco's ( sorry JG ) I am very glad that the Cowboys got it this yr. It was a close game and came down to who would make a mistake at the end. Poor Ben Hunt got that honour. And just my opinion, but Hunt should have got sent off for 10 for that spear tackle he did. Ifhewassin binned he wouldnt have been on the field to make his crucial fumble. Kinda like karma. But good on the cowboys, and of course JT. As Freya said, hes a great person, and also showed his integrity when he praised and gave support to Ben Hunt in an interview after the game.

    Went to the game, and was right behind the black dot. But as I recover, full credit to the Cowboys, and Thurston cemented his immortality. *sigh* - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'Smilingwithfun' Why do you think it belongs in NSW. We have won State of Origin 9 of 10 last years. All Qld grand Final. Lets have the Grand Final played in Qld. What...so Brisbane could get a home game in the GF ??? They get enough favouritism as it is.

    The grand final and the atmosphere was amazing. Die hard broncos supporter here but congratulations to the cowboys! Proud to be at such a historic game in so many ways. Two indigenous captains, first time for an all Queensland grand final and to see the cowboys win their first premiership!!! - Posted from rhpmobile

    What a great game drawn in the the very last second, conversion missed then golden point. Great final. Have much admiration for JT and his reaction and conversation with his wife and especially daughter during end celebrations were beautiful. Don't often see that kind of heart and sincerity in high end sport. How nice to see him pick up and console Ben Hunt after the game, that poor lad was devastated after that drop, love to see sportsmanship alive and well

    We hear about footballers is about their drug taking and poor behaviour,JT is a one man antidote to that.xxFreya

    Since I have seen anyone in the major sporting spotlight that qualifies as a true role model for kids, something sport has missed for so very long. Yeah Jay his gesture in Melbourne was just wonderful and how excited and thrilled was that young fella.

    It was interesting to contrast the two finals. Both games appeared to be one sided 20 mins in , but apart from that it was an exciting game to watch even though we support the AFL and rarely watch NRL. The pre game entertainment was more polished , the game itself kept you watching and the fairytale of JT first fumbling, then missing the conversion and then the play leading up to the golden point FANTASTIC

    I'm still cerebrating. One of the greatest games of league of all time. I was happy with a draw. Golden point sucks. But I'll take it.
