Thurston was not the best player on the field. He was not fully fit. Brisbane's five eighth Anthony Milford, Cowboys five eighth Michael Morgan, and Cowboys hooker Jake Granville were much better performers on the night. Thurston won the Clive Churchill award for 10 years of outstanding performances.

Thurston once again showed great sportsmanship when he approached and consoled both Brisbane's captain Justin Hodges and Brisbane half back Ben Hunt.

It was not the best game that I have ever seen, and not even the greatest Grand Final. Try watching the 1989 Grand Final between Canberra and Balmain before you leap to any historical conclusions. The 2015 Grand Final was a mixed bag. The first half was very exciting. The second half was mostly dull. It was the incredible ending that made the game memorable.

Its subjective.

Benjamin Hunt. If you will insist on this pathetic naming of players, the least you can do is check your post before pressing submit.

Rugby League has the 4 most watched sporting events on Australian TV this year with the Grand Final and 3 SOO games.
In Australia Rugby League is king.

North Queensland and Brisbane served up a feast of rugby league. I hope that it is released on video as a Blu Ray because it was filmed and broadcast in High Definition --- something that Channel 9 has not done previously.

We need to also have the Super League Grand final in Blu Ray, and the same with State of Origin, and all internationals involving Australia, New Zealand, England and France.

Make your mind up, you said it was dull a week ago.

I said that the second half was dull, (right up until the last 30 seconds and the overtime missed conversion put the game at a new level).

The first half was exciting and entertaining. The last 30 seconds, plus the extra time, were sensational.

The last week has only been positive for Rugby League with two great Grand Finals
