Elation to heartbreak and back again for Thurston in incredible final moments of NRL grand final

The final moments of the 2015 NRL grand final will go down in folklore after a last-minute try, a missed post-siren conversion and a golden point field goal decided the title.
The Cowboys scored on full time after a series of breathtaking passes on their final tackle.
Five-eighth Michael Morgan darted through the Broncos' defence, before a freakish one-handed pass sent winger Kyle Feldt over to tie the scores at 16-all.
North Queensland hero Johnathan Thurston then had a golden chance to seal the club’s first ever premiership, only for his post-siren conversion to agonisingly bounce off the upright.

The Cowboys then clinched the title in the opening moments of extra time, with Thurston – who else? – slotting the decisive field goal after a nightmare knock-on by the Bronco’s Ben Hunt.
It was the first ever grand final to be decided in golden point.
