Lachlan Coote
Tried to take playmaking load off Thurston and Morgan, but found little joy and couldn't resist double movement effort. 6/10
Kyle Feldt
Touched down for try for the ages. Looked like suffering bout of jelly legs under high ball a couple of times, but produced kick-off which engineered win. 7
Justin O'Neill
Johnny on the spot to support Granville for Cowboys' opener and did a lot of dirty work. 7
Kane Linnett
Victim of Cowboys left edge kept quiet for large parts and grassed certain try at pivotal stage before another costly drop. 5
Antonio Winterstein
Little traffic came his way as Broncos peppered right edge, but poked his nose over advantage line when needed. 6
Michael Morgan
Made a couple of uncharacteristic errors and was also clutching at thin air when Gillett burst through, but produced huge after-the-siren play. 6
Johnathan Thurston
Fitting way to seal legacy with ice-cool field goal winner after frustrating night. Coughed up possession for Reed's try, but never batted an eyelid in defence. 8
Jason Taumalolo
Restricted to short opening stint and racked up decent numbers on back of improved second-half showing. Makings of superstar. 7
Ethan Lowe
Little vulnerable on right edge in defence alongside Morgan, but serviceable enough in attack. 6
Gavin Cooper
Subdued as the Broncos kept JT quiet in attack, but never missed a beat as plenty of traffic was sent his way. Topped tackle count. 6
James Tamou
Leader in the engine room. Swivelled his way to rare try, but more importantly provided the much needed grunt up middle. 7
Jake Granville
Who would have thought at the start of 2015? Laid on the first two tries, spied regular gaps in opposition and faultless in defence. 8
Matt Scott
Diligent rather than dynamic in opening stint as Tamou took the plaudits. 6
Reserves
Rory Kostjaysn
Gave Granville a breather and dispersed ball without threatening. Rugged in defence. 5
John Asiata
Limited minutes, but as always proved hard to tackle. Better for the experience. 5
Scott Bolton
Old man river turned back the clock with vintage display. 6
Ben Hannant
Turnstile for Reed's try when Gillett burst through, but solid. 5
