JOHNATHAN Thurston and Neil Henry have been cleared over comments suggesting that the NRL favoured teams based in New South Wales.
Thurston has been outspoken in his belief that the Cowboys consistently have big decisions go against them, following their controversial loss to the Sharks in Saturday afternoon's elimination final.
After being asked about anti-Queensland bias from NRL officials, Thurston responded with this: "You can see it, I'm not the only one that can see it, it's there for everyone to see.

"While Queensland dominate at State of Origin level, New South Wales is crying out for something and they seem to be getting it.
"State of Origin is killing the game, no doubt.
"It's what the media wants, and fans in New South Wales want - South Sydney and Roosters grand final.
"That's what the game needs, they're crying out for it.
"If you're playing for a team outside of Sydney you're fighting up against it, no doubt about it.
"The boys feel it, we all feel it, it's tough."
Henry also went on the front foot with a remarkable attack in his post-match press conference, indicating it was unhealthy to have key stakeholders in the game pushing for an all-Sydney grand final.

Players and club officials can be hit with fines for comments that bring the game into disrepute, or call into question the integrity of NRL officials.
But in a statement released by NRL Head of Football Todd Greenberg on Tuesday afternoon, it was confirmed that no action would be taken against the Cowboys co-captain or coach.
"There is a distinct difference between the comments themselves and some of the interpretations placed on those comments," Greenberg said.
"At no stage was there a reference to the integrity of the officials.
"I have spoken with both Johnathan and Cowboys CEO Peter Jourdain, who have each given an assurance that the comments were not directed at the administration or the officials.
"We have also fully reviewed the comments by Neil Henry and do not believe that they contravened the policy.
"The policy allows for coaches to express their disappointment at decisions and we respect that right.
"What does cause an issue is when a coach or player questions the integrity of an official or engages in ridicule or excessive criticism."
