This hurts. A lot. I know we’ve been spoilt with success over the years but it’s shame to end such a good season in this manner. Too many errors, and quite simply we With that said, Panthers may reach their destiny. Well played
I think it's a bit weird because people have been telling us for the past half a season that the premiership is literally ours already. Personally I think when it all settles down it will be pretty crazy to think how good the storm have done after losing that last of the big 3. Crazy season really.

Also whilst this loss stings that won't compare to souths ruining the 50 point thread. f**k panthers better win next week.

Also i don't think you can blame injuries but losing Smith and Welch especially in such a gruelling encounter hurt a lot. I think those 2 stay on the field and we win. I'm still not convinced having Hynes on the bench was a good idea and we have looked significantly worse since making that change.

Actually I thought we probably looked our best this season without Grant and Paps.
I think Smith was probably the biggest loss. I reckon Storm win with 1. Hynes 6. Munster 7. Hughes 9. Smith.

On the other hand, they didnt look like they wanted to win today tbh. Worst game I've seen them play for a while. That completion rate.

Being in the bubble would have been a lot harder on Melbourne than Penrith I reckon.

A world class, cosmopolitan jewel of Australia in Melbourne vs an uncultured bogan shithole like Penrith.

I am so sick and tired of seeing Penrith rewarded for acting against the spirit of the game.

Luai was knocked senseless, should never have been allowed back

Cleary was clearly concussed, didn’t even get checked

Players - especially Kikau - flopping all over the place, trying to get the game stopped

2-3 players standing in an offside position at the play the ball every time they kick blocking any chance of kick pressure.

Anyone happy to see Penrith in the grand final is an enemy of the sport in my opinion, because they have taken the spirit of the game and stomped all over it.
