The greatest player of his generation — four Dally M Medals and State of Origin legend.
Johnathan Thurston was born in Innisfail, Queensland in 1983 and grew up in Brisbane. He is the only player to win four Dally M Medals — the NRL's player of the year award. He led North Queensland Cowboys to his first ever NRL Premiership in 2015 — missing a conversion after full time in the grand final that would have won it in regular time before winning in golden point. He played 15 State of Origin series for Queensland. He was named in the NRL Team of the Century. He retired in 2018. His dropped goal in the 2015 grand final that hit the post — and the subsequent golden point winner — is the most celebrated individual moment in NRL Finals history.
