2021 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 14-12 South Sydney @ Suncorp

[Alderley Rooster]

LOL those suggesting Taafe plays fullback next year while Latrell goes to centre. The guy was ragdolled

 

[hineyrulz]

REDEMSHUM!!

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

The key strategic reason Souths lost that game was a lack of pressure on Cleary when kicking. All those kicks resulted in pinpoint placements that often ended with errors. Why they had such a poor possession ratio, so many repeat sets they had to absorb.

Have to say Wayne Bennett fluffed it, how do you not assign a player nor two to hound Cleary every play? The most influential player with his kicks and play set ups, they needed to hound him.

Was watching the blocking all game, given the feud a few weeks ago. There was a guy usually hanging around near the play the ball on the fifth, but they still couldve tried to rush him more.

I tend to agree.

Very ordinary attacking as well for that side.

Dumb pass from Cody and Renno misses under pressure. Two catastrophic failures. The bunnies lost that more than smug prevailed.

That’s why we love the nrl!

 

[skeepe]

I feel sick watching this. The Penrith Panthers have killed rugby league and now they are dancing on its grave.

 

[Munky]

Cleary dominated field position.

Shoulder is f**ked,we have no right side atrack.

Yet two of the best attacking teams of all time could only score three tries.

 

[Meth]

To'o was good, but wingers don't tend to win Clive Churchills, do they?

just looked. A winger has never won it

 

[Generalzod]

So Bennett’s lost his last two grand finals, now.

He has done it at 2 clubs..

 

[Tommy Smith]

Seriously guys, Souffs didn't have an attacking set in Penrith's 20 until about the 70th minute and that's because Cleary absolutely gave nightmares to Paulo and that poor work experience kid who played fullback.

He nailed them to the corners and try line all night; forcing a couple of line drop outs as well.

Well deserved.

 

[This Year?]

Are we allowed to celebrate now? Or would that be deemed offensive?

LOL IF THERE'S A TIME TO CELEBRATE ITS RYTNOW!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Something to be smug about panther fans.

Congratulations.

Souths exceeded expectations and a bounce of the ball or a winger not called Jaaxxssoonn Baldo might have seen the game go the other way

 

[RedVDave]

So Trent Barrett the "brains" behind Penrith finishes last with the Bulldogs and Panthers take out the premiership! Lol

 

[Alan Johnson]

No phone is safe from Rusty tonight.

 

[The Man Shake]

Do you really care what random people say on a RL forum? If it were my team I’d be face first in the beer fountain.

 

[skeepe]

At least we can put the myth of Villiame Kikau to bed. The bloke just doesn’t show up in big games. No way he gets the $1 million per season he’s asking for.

Lol! Tonight is a low ebb but it will turn around soon enough.

CC Medal lost all credibility circa 2013.

 

[Floodwaters]

A game Souths should have won really, if Reynolds kicked the sideline conversion Souths were the only team in field position to win it that last 7 minutes.

Trent Barrett is f**king shit.

getting all the hair gel out of Penrith was what did it

Laui runs overs and kills Penroth attack. Penrith have been shit in attack for the last for a while. Cleary changed nothing and it was just lucky he had them defending well. Souths, well bennett and his boys choked

 

[Munted]

It was pretty soft, boss. Means f**k all, they got it done!

I take comfort in knowing that while the comp was soft, Melbourne and south's put up a fight and we overcame both.... Just. Winning small 3 weeks in a row right down to the final whistle has aged me 10 years.
