The North Queensland Cowboys recently celebrated their 30-year anniversary by unveiling the best 13 players in the club's history.
The event took place in Townsville and recognized the achievements of these standout players.
Notably, the lineup includes key contributors from the 2015 premiership-winning team, featuring names like "Matt Bowen, Johnathan Thurston, Matthew Scott and electric winger Matt Sing."
Since their inaugural game in 1995, the Cowboys faced challenges in attracting top talent, especially in their early years.
However, as the club developed its own pathways and experienced success, they began to cultivate a stronger roster.
While the selection reflects a tendency toward more recent players, it drew little criticism.
The recognition highlights both the club's history and the remarkable contributions of its players over three decades.
