Cowboys statement on Thurston incident

COWBOYS STATEMENT ON THURSTON INCIDENT

The Board of the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys and Johnathan Thurston have met to resolve the issues arising from the incident in Brisbane in September.
 
The Board has accepted Johnathan's denial of the allegations which appeared in the media.
 
Both the Club and Johnathan acknowledge that he did not follow protocol set by the Club in regard to his injury rehabilitation.
 
To the extent to which his actions have not reflected his positive work in the community, Johnathan has volunteered to make a meaningful contribution through the Cowboys Community Fund.

The Club and Johnathan consider the matter resolved and offer no further comment, other than that both are now looking positively towards the 2011 season.
