Cowboys now right in contention for the spoon. I'm trying to think of a similarly high profile player to Thurston who has finished his career with the spoon. Can't think of any. Steve Carter in 2001 is one and he was a tremendous player but not a Thurston. Craig Fitzgibbon (2009) likewise. Preston Campbell (2011) is another. All below Thurston's standing in the game though.

Beat the defending premiers (us) in his final game, and as captain-coach. What a frustrating season that was.

In Penrith’s defence not many teams would’ve been able to focus on their footy in a year like that. Ben Alexander’s death destroyed morale and the club, Brandy lost his way, Fittler stood down for a while.
