Thurston claimed after the match that New South Wales' lack of State of Origin success was filtering through to retribution in NRL games, with the Cowboys on the receiving end of poor refereeing decisions in two consecutive years of finals.
"You can see it, I'm not the only one that can see it, it's there for everyone to see," Thurston told reporters.
"While Queensland dominate at State of Origin level, New South Wales is crying out for something and they seem to be getting it.
I have spoken with both Johnathan and Cowboys CEO Peter Jourdain, who have each given an assurance that the comments were not directed at the administration or the officials.

"It's what the media wants, and fans in New South Wales want - South Sydney and Roosters grand final.
"If you're playing for a team outside of Sydney you're fighting up against it, no doubt about it."
But the NRL's head of football Todd Greenberg says no action will be taken against Thurston for his remarks.
"There is a distinct difference between the comments themselves and some of the interpretations placed on of those comments," Greenberg said in a statement.
"At no stage was there a reference to the integrity of the officials.
"I have spoken with both Johnathan and Cowboys CEO Peter Jourdain, who have each given an assurance that the comments were not directed at the administration or the officials.
"We have also fully reviewed the comments by Neil Henry and do not believe that they contravened the policy.
"The policy allows for coaches to express their disappointment at decisions and we respect that right.
"What does cause an issue is when a coach or player questions the integrity of an official or engages in ridicule or excessive criticism."
Referees Cechin and Perenara were both dropped for the second week of NRL finals.

Let's hope Todd sticks to his word
