Thurston gives away seven kicking tees in WCC win
North Queensland Cowboys superstar Johnathan Thurston is all class.
During his side's World Club Challenge victory over Leeds Rhinos on Monday morning, the reigning Dally M medalist gave away seven kicking tees to lucky members of the crowd.
The Cowboys captain, who regularly gives his headgear to young fans, booted seven goals during the game, picking up his tee and handing it to lucky youngsters on every occasion.
His actions drew a raft of applause on social media:
Nice touch by Thurston giving all his kicking tee's to the crowd.

Thurston's kind gestures were reminiscent of Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who regularly gives the ball to young spectators after scoring a touchdown.
