The North Queensland Cowboys’ dream of a back to back premiership is still alive with a gallant and stunning 26‑20 come‑from‑behind extra‑time win against the Brisbane Broncos.
With the game locked at 20-all in full time, it was Thurston who produced the go‑ahead try in extra‑time, slicing through and offering a flick pass to halves partner Michael Morgan.
It was the first time in four meetings between the sides where the margin was more than one point after last year’s epic 17‑16 grand final and close‑run games between the sides this year.
The Cowboys will now play the Sharks next weekend in the grand final qualifier.
Meanwhile, the Panthers play the Raiders at 9.45 tonight, with the winner going on to play Melbourne Storm next weekend in the grand final qualifier.
