In a lovely tribute to late NRL player and coach Paul Green<\/a>, every fan housed in Queensland Country Bank Stadium has risen to their feet in the 15th minute of the Cowboys<\/a> 44-point win over the Warriors<\/a> on Friday for a minute's applause.<\/p>\n

Green was found dead<\/a> in his Brisbane home last week. He was just 49 years old.<\/p>\n

The 15th minute was chosen to commemorate the 2015 NRL Grand Final<\/a> – the Cowboys' finest hour, where they were coached to premiership glory by Green.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, Cowboys captain Chad Townsend described what it was like being in the middle of the celebration.<\/p>\n

"You could hear it in the background – obviously in the thick of a game you're focused on what's happening in the game – but I did faintly here it," he said.<\/p>\n

"The recognition for Paul Green and what he did at this club is amazing. He's left a lasting legacy and I thought it was a really great touch from the club and the fans tonight."<\/p>\n

The supporter-led tribute occurred in addition to a minute's silent pre-game as the Cowboys played their first match at home since Green's death.<\/p>\n
