Call it manipulation, call it communication, Johnathan Thurston is a clear admirer of Cameron Smiths ability to deal with NRL referees.As he prepares to lead North Queensland into a blockbuster NRL qualifying final on Saturday against Smiths Melbourne, Thurston has hailed his State of Origin teammate as the best in the game at getting his message across to match officials.Smiths blow-up with referee Ashley Klein during the Storms shock round 25 loss to Brisbane aside, the wily skipper is renowned for his methodical conduct when it comes to referee-captain discussions.Thurston says its something hes definitely tried to take on board from playing alongside and against Smith.Ive tried to. Smithys always been cool, calm, collected, Thurston said.No matter what the scoreboard shows he doesnt show too much emotion.Every referees different. They show the respect to the captains and youve just got to pick your times to talk to them.Theres no better person in the comp that does that than Smithy. If I get that opportunity I need to take it as well.Thurston has declared himself a certain starter for Saturdays clash, despite a corked calf picked up late in last Saturdays 32-16 win over Gold Coast in Townsville.The playmaker is also backing prop Matt Scott to prove his fitness despite training separately from the team on Wednesday as he continues to recover from a broken finger.I havent spoken to him since he ran out there but he should be there, Thurston said.The Cowboys depart for Melbourne on Thursday and will have their final training session at AAMI Park on Friday.Thurstons men defeated the Storm at the venue in last years finals series but have been beaten twice by their opponents this season.The Queensland and Australia star says theres no doubt about the challenge that lies ahead.Travelling to Melbourne is always a big challenge. Theyve built a fortress down there, he said.Defensively theyre strong, the best in competition.Its the business end of the year and its a good challenge for us to see where were at both physically and mentally.
