The days of North Queensland being a one man band are over, but it seems someone forgot to tell Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy. Morgan Moses Jersey .Cowboys mentor Paul Green insists the reigning NRL premiers are no longer reliant on injured playmaker Johnathan Thurston ahead of Saturday nights top three clash with the Storm in Townsville.I firmly believe we have moved past that, Green said.Bellamy is unconvinced by that argument, but also expects Thurston to play this weekend.Thurston has been ruled out for two weeks with a hamstring injury but Green has been coy on his availability despite not naming the Test half this week.I am not sure if anyone is 100 per cent sure whether he is playing or not, Bellamy said.By all reports Paul Green was a little bit coy on how long or what the injury actually is. We are preparing he might play.Asked if North Queensland no longer relied on the four-time Dally M medallist, Bellamy said: Its hard to say.I cant remember the last time he was injured.Hes not out often enough to know whether they rely on him or not.But Bellamy believed North Queensland would be determined to prove him wrong if Thurston doesnt play.He would be a tremendous loss but they have a lot of good players in that team who can take up the slack and will be determined to show they can do it without him, he said.Thurston may face a sideline stint but there is no rest in sight for Queensland teammates Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk ahead of the finals, according to Bellamy.You want to be sensible. You dont want to give them a week off just of the sake of it, he said of his Queensland State of Origin duo.Finding the right match for that and getting their approval is another thing - they want to play.I have got one (match) in mind but it depends on how we are at.Melbourne will remain in sight of ladder leaders Cronulla if they topple third-placed North Queensland for a second time this season, and will also claim their fifth straight victory.But the minor premiership is not a priority for Bellamy.It would be nice, but the minor premiers dont really get enough credit to be honest. They get remembered for a week, he said.Its up to Cronulla. They are in the box seat. Quinton Dunbar Jersey .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

Sydney Roosters finally have a cornerstone win for their NRL season - a 22-10 defeat of premiers North Queensland that coach Trent Robinson says is vital for their 2017 campaign.And its a loss that has put a top-four finish for the Cowboys in grave doubt.Led upfront by Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Boyd Cordner on Sunday at Allianz Stadium, halves Mitchell Pearce and Connor Watson steered the Roosters to their fifth victory of the year.In the process, the Roosters handed the struggling Cowboys their third successive defeat just a month out from the finals.It was our best performance of the year so far, Robinson said.There was a lot of arm-wrestle footy. We went to-to-toe with them and we just havent been able to do enough this year.Three-time successive minor premiers, the Roosters will miss the finals for the first time under Robinson.We have struggled to play our best, but they should be proud of how they played today, he said.I have had a lot of questions about next year but it is about now. That was a really good lesson in footy, how you put a game together. The next year is laid on by what we do now.The Cowboys opened the scoring through Ethan Lowe in the eighth minute, but from there the Roosters were the better side for much of the contest.Ryan Matterson put the home side ahead through a converted try in the 28th minute.

Two more first-half tries to Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Cordner had the Roosters in front 16-4 at the break, but only after a Blake Ferguson try was controversially disallowed by the bunker.A 40m angled run from Latrell Mitchell with 30 minutes left put the Roosters further ahead, and they had to hold a late Cowboys fightback to claim the four-tries-to-two win.Kane Linnetts 64th-minute touchdown was the Cowboys only second-half try.If Canberra beat Melbourne in the final game of round 23 on Monday, the Cowboys will be two wins outside the top four with three rounds to play.They played well. They deserved it. They wanted it more than us, Cowboys coach Paul Green said.We were a little bit flat and they had a bit more energy than us. They definitely defended better than us and carried the ball better than us.It was a similar story last week.We just have to get a bit of confidence back and scrap and fight for a win.Green said rake Jake Granville (hand) is still at least two weeks away from playing.Prop Ben Hannant is also due back from knee surgery in two weeks.
