Bowen to stay in North Queensland
Fri November 23, 2007
Source: www.cowboys.com.au

In a major announcement for the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys, CEO Peter Parr today announced that fullback Matt Bowen would remain at the club for the next four years.

Parr said, "The Board and Management are delighted that Matthew will continue his playing football career at the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys.

"Matthew is a wonderful footballer and a tremendous role model for all young North Queenslanders.

"Matthew's decision to remain at the Cowboys sends a clear message to young players that you can remain in North Queensland and play our great game at the highest level."

The 2007 Dally M Fullback of the year has been at the Toyota Cowboys for his entire first grade career and is one of the first players to come through the development system at the club.

Head Coach Graham Murray believes retaining Bowen is an important step for the club.

Murray said, "Matthew has had an outstanding season in 2007, he is the best fullback in the game at the moment and it is great that he has resigned, we see his retention as a vital component in continuing this club as a force in the National Rugby League competition."

Thurston and Bowen to line up against Bulldogs
Tue August 28, 2007
by Matthew O'Neill
North Queensland coach Graham Murray has resisted making changes for Friday's home match at Dairy Farmers Stadium with superstar duo Johnathan Thurston and Matt Bowen named in the side for the Bulldogs clash.

The Cowboys are assured of 3rd position and Murray has decided in his wisdom that it's best to keep up the current winning momentum instead of mucking around with combinations so close to the Finals.

Thurston and Bowen is one of the finest partnerships in the game and Thurston in particular has continued to enchance his status as the finest player in the game today.

With Thurston and Bowen both playing, there's now a chance the Bulldogs could miss out on the Finals with the Wests Tigers likely to put an unhappy Newcastle outfit through the cleaners and if the Broncos can upset the Eels than the Bulldogs spot in the Finals is in serious danger such is Thurston's and Bowen's dominance over the Bulldogs in recent times.

North Queensland will host the Bulldogs on Friday night at Dairy Farmers Stadium and are assured of 3rd position regardless of how results go where the following week they'll be at home to the team that comes 6th in the Premiership. There's a slim chance the Bulldogs could sneak into 4th position providing Penrith upset the Warriors, the Bulldogs overcome Thurston and Bowen and the Eels victory against Brisbane isn't higher than seven points to any possible Bulldogs victory.

Murray's attitude in not resting players can only have a very positive effect on the Cowboys Finals campaign.
