Panthers v Broncos GF

[QWERTY]

I’m still shocked. Penrith players were falling like flies as well. Cleary is probably an immortal after this game.

On a side note, here’s hoping that Spencer was their lucky charm lol

[Bruce 38-0]

Hopefully that means Sutton and Klein are forever doing games ranked 7th and 8th every round going forward.

Weird game, Broncos with a couple of key errors and it spiralled out of control.

Indeed.
Broncos got a good lead, then made mistakes, gifted the ball to the Panthers.
Broncos game was riddled with mistakes, dumb mistakes, careless mistakes...and as a result they lost.

For most of the year our game was riddled with mistakes, dumb mistakes, careless mistakes...and as a result we lost games we should've won.

[Chook2]

I’d like to compliment the ref
best performance by a ref I have seen - stayed out of it completely and let the boys play - great when they let the game flow and don’t over officiate a game
also one thing Penrith haven’t done yet is 3 minor premierships in a row so we are one up ? Haha

[QWERTY]

What's the fascination with short drop kicks?
Seems to have become popular over the past 2 years but for mine, the risk outweighs the benefit big time.

Reynolds must be lamenting the 1st try he gifted them. Sire enough not long after he does it again....WTF?

Reynolds was woeful. I can’t believe the short kick off was attempted again and again. He should have won the CC in tandem with Cleary, he had as much to do with the Panthers win as Cleary. Rabbit brain stays with you I guess

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Amazing effort by Cleary, that last 20 minutes, he carried Penrith to that win, outstanding.
The break for the try to Leota,
then the 40/20 to set up the try for Crighton,
and the icing on the cake when he scores the winner......incredible.
the game lasts for 80 minutes and Brisbane just didn't handle the last 20,
they thought they had it won and so did I.
But they forgot to tell Cleary.
How good would that feel if it was the Roosters?

It's not Reynolds fault that his team mates patted the ball in to open space he kicked it perfectly

High risk footy doesn’t win you comps.

[SamKerrSimp]

Great forward Leota, no wonder Spencer can’t get much game time, will be interesting how he goes for us, not convinced on him yet, but hopefully he can push to be a starter for us.

Have no fear Spencer Leniu has been the best bench forward in the competition he will form a dynamite partnership with Lindsay Collins

[King Salvo]

King, your our David Middleton....has a player ever scored 3 tries in a GF and been on the losing team? Poor Mam.

Channel 9 say's Mam is the first player - Not sure if this is the NRL period only or from 1908?

I was hoping Brisb win to further piss of Souffs fans for letting Adam go.

I must say though, leaving Souffs has turned out to be a master stroke because he's had a stellar year and with added responsibility he's in career best form.
At the ripe age of 33.....LOL

Gee by staying out of it was terrific tonight and as Jack mentioned Bill Harrigan like which added to the spectacle.

He has been fantastic since moving. Souths were using him as another cog in a sense, but since the move to Brisbane he’s had to contribute a much greater amount to the team

[roosterchook]

Brisbane coach must be absolutely filthy. How can they lose a GF with a winning lead of 24-8?

[QWERTY]

That was an exception. Brisbane probably would have been better off kicking it long, like how it’s happened for the majority of RL
