Great finish. The Thurston no try was a try. The bunkers last camera 5 shot (If I remember correctly) did not show Thurston knocking on nor was Carl Felts flick back of his shin a knock on or a forward pass. Need to see it again but as it stands it was a f**king try.
Eh, ball hit the ground when he didn't have complete control...happy for that to be deemed a knock on. *Edit* There might be a case for a North Queensland scrum though, Feldt's bat-back might have touched Greg Eden who was in touch.
Sensational finish to the game though and I thought the commentators were spot on when they said it was a better spectacle than the Grand Final last year. The hype surrounding the 2015 Grand Final revolves solely on that final play from Michael Morgan that took the game to over-time and the subsequent error from Ben Hunt, many forget that the bulk of the game was actually a dour grind with the Broncos shutting up shop at the 60th min.
Back to the game tonight I will add that Anthony Milford has definitely surpassed my expectations as a half. Absolutely electric when playing in the front line and not a complete liability in defence. Still has room to grow as his composure in the desperation moments develops (even though he locked the game up at the death he also kicked like Ben Roberts) and he will be a hell of a player in the coming years.
