This Panthers side reminds me of the 2001 Eels for some reason

Storm have timed their run to perfection and are on a level Penrith haven't hit yet. The Panthers have been the best side all year but are well overdue for a loss and if they play anything like they did against Souths they'll be hammered. Melbourne do have a GF choke in them but it's hard to see them losing this one. Storm by 16.

Agreed. I imagine the GF will be similar too. Storm to blow them away early and then Penrith to jag a few consolation tries in the second half when the nerves settle and Melbourne start to cruise. Scoreline to look respectable in the end.

2003:

- Penrith were minor premiers
- Despite winning the MP, Panthers went into the GF as outsiders
- A wet game

Hmmm...

Naden named in the centres. Wonder who we'll target...

Depends if Ivan is playing silly buggers with the team sheet really.

The entire rugby league world is with Penrith. The classic good v evil story. A real footy club versus the artifical creation of News ltd. Wonderful creative exciting flowing footy versus the masters of the dark arts and chicken wings.

Nevermind getting an expensive psychiatrist to diagnose psychopathy. Any neutral supporting the Storm is a textbook definition of one.

Yep and you’re a salty mutha f**ker whose shit team got easily dispensed last weekend.
Go the Storm.

I didn't mind the 03 Roosters. They were a great team. At the time I hated them, but that was my unrelenting rage due to Freddy going there years before.
Looking back now there is a lot to like.

Justin Hodges is the team. Enough said

I’ve lost a bet and might be heading to the grand final in my retro donkeys jersey with wooden spoons taped to my back and a temporary Penrith tattoo on my forehead.

I need work approval to travel due to COVID but if they approve, I’m a man of my word so see you all in hell.

Those with meth problems this bad tend to have left the Riff long ago.

Quite.

That's awesome. I hope you get the approval & have a belter of a weekend.

Enough said? No way.

WTF are you talking about?

In 2003, Justin Hodges did his knee in the first State of Origin match and didn't play another game that season. His last regular season game for the Roosters that year was in Round 11 v the Melbourne Storm. He wasn't even in the Roosters 2003 GF team as a consequence.

You reckon a young Hodges could have outrun Satts?
