North Queensland coach Paul Green is keeping trump card Johnathan Thurston close to his chest ahead of Saturdays NRL clash with Melbourne.The Cowboys captain completed training on Friday to increase hope he can shake off a hamstring injury and line up against the Storm for the premiers.Thurston failed to finish last weekends comprehensive 36-0 win over Canterbury but nine-day turnaround has the champion halfback poised to make an unexpected return.Green, though, was giving nothing away when pressed about Thurstons availability.Were not going to take any unnecessary risks, he said.Well see how he pulls up tomorrow. Guy like him, well give him as long as possible but if he doesnt play, were very happy with the prep weve had.Green says hell make the final call on Thurstons availability and the clubs pending finals campaign will be a factor in the decision.Big games like us against Melbourne, theyre the games players want to play in, he said.Often youve got to protect the players from themselves, they always want to play.In Thurstons absence, the Cowboys have named Ray Thompson to play alongside Queensland State of Origin representative Michael Morgan.The Storm have named an unchanged line-up from the team that defeated the Sydney Roosters 26-10 to keep the pressure on table-toppers Cronulla.Melbourne defeated the Cowboys earlier in the year by a single point at Suncorp Stadium, and Green admits his team has been planning revenge for some time.The boys have probably had one eye on this contest for a while now so were really excited about the challenge, he said.Them and Cronulla are obviously the two form teams in the competition at the moment.The players recognise who their opposition are and they know its probably a little bigger game than normal.COWBOYS v STORM - Key match stats* North Queensland are seeking a club-record 12th straight win at home* Melbourne have the best defensive record in the NRL and are yet to concede 20 points or more in a match* North Queensland have won just 13 of 44 matches without Johnathan Thurston since 2005 Trent Alexander-Arnold Liverpool Jersey . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. Nathaniel Phillips Jersey . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.liverpoolgear.us/Authentic-Daniel-Sturridge-Liverpool-Jersey/ . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Divock Origi Liverpool Jersey . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. Georginio Wijnaldum Liverpool Jersey . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. With two games left in its season, Army is staring at a rare opportunity. Despite two straight losses, the Black Knights still have a slim chance to play in a bowl game for only the second time since 1996.Theres an opportunity out there if we can get a victory this Saturday, coach Jeff Monken said. Weve got to get one this weekend if were going to have any hope.Army (5-5) hosts FCS foe Morgan State (2-7) on Senior Day at Michie Stadium, a special moment for a class thats helped the program move forward in three seasons under Monken.I, as the head coach, have leaned on those guys for leadership in the locker room, and to build the culture that it takes to win, Monken said. Im confident that culture is being built and we are headed in the right direction.Army allowed a season-high 44 points in a loss to Notre Dame last week in San Antonio at The Alamodome. The triple option stalled, held to only 229 yards, but the Black Knights remain second in the nation in rushing with an average of 311 yards per contest.The loss followed a 31-12 setback at home the previous week against service academy rival Air Force . The triple option was held to a season-low 144 yards on 40 carries in that game.The third try to reach six wins comes against a struggling Morgan State team thats near the bottom of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The Bears have lost five straight.The big thing for us is weve got to clean up our own mistakes, MSU interim head coach Fred Farrier said. Were just making too many mistakes at critical points.That was never more apparent than in last weeks 22-21 loss at Florida A&M. Morgan State led 21-9 after Chris Andrews scored on a four-yard run late in the third quarter. Then Andrews lost a fumble early in the fourth quarter that FAMU converted into a touchdown, the Bears never got their offense going again, and the game slipped away. Alex Raya also missed field goals of 36 and 35 yards for MSU.Its another one of those situations where youre shooting yourself in the foot, Farrier said.Other things to know when Army hossts Morgan State on Senior Day at Michie Stadium:PRESSURE TIME: The Black Knights need a win to remain in the bowl discussion.dddddddddddd Armys victory over FCS foe Lafayette a month ago does not count toward bowl eligibility victories. Just like a year ago, some of the 80 bowl slots available likely will be filled with five-win teams. Those teams are selected according to their latest Academic Progress Rate, and Army sits fourth on that list, behind Duke, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt. A year ago, three five-win teams played in a bowl game.ROAD WOES: Morgan State has yet to win on the road this season. The Bears also lost 62-0 at Marshall, 22-12 at Hampton, and 27-14 at Norfolk State. MSUs last win away from Hughes Stadium was on Oct. 3, 2015, when the Bears beat Delaware State 26-6 in Dover.RED ZONE SPUTTERS: Morgan State has scored just 16 times in 28 trips inside its opponents 20-yard line to rank last in the MEAC. Twelve of the 16 scores have been TDs, and the Bears also have had four turnovers (three fumbles and an interception) and have converted only four of 10 field goals in the red zone.ROOKIE TIME: Freshman QB DeAndre Harris is expected to start for MSU. Harris also started last week and completed just two of six passes for 12 yards and threw one interception before being replaced by Andrews in the second quarter. The Bears managed only 11 first downs in the game.SENIOR SWAN SONG: Linebackers Andrew King and Jeremy Timpf lead a contingent of 17 seniors who will play their final game at Michie Stadium. Monken marvels at the contributions of what he considers a special class.This group of guys is what you hope for when you talk about leaders, Monken said. They lead by example. They have a great attitude. They believe theyre the guys that turned it around.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Kekis at www.twitter.com/Greek1947 ' ' '
