Russell and his f**king bell.

At least he's not singing

Ring My Fookin' Bell

 

[The_Frog]

we won't see the winning players going back to celebrate with the trophy at a packed leagues club.

It'll happen, it might just take a day or two.

 

[JJ]

Why wouldn’t you get Mario to ring the bell?

Everything the Panthers do is against the spirit of the game. Everything.

If you love rugby league, you MUST support Souths on Sunday. To do otherwise would mark you as a traitor to the game.

Evil must not triumph.

Since Round 20 Souths are scoring the most points in the competition (33.0 per match compared to Penrith's 20.8), while conceding the least points (13.9 per match compared to Penrith's 14.3).

In that period too we have played the Panthers twice, Roosters and Eels.

Even if you go right back to Round 12, we are averaging 15.1 points conceded compared to Penrith's 14.4.

But sure, we can pretend it's still May and we can't tackle, if that helps you.

In all honesty, you could have thrown multitudes of stats at us before last week's game V Storm in which I'm sure people did.

This my furry represents much more than a normal club game. And fans on Sunday will come to terms of the gravity of Souths situation the hour by hour this game gets close to kick-off.

Tell NRL 360, the DT and the SMH about it. And Anthony Alboniese, Rusty and his hangers on, Ray Martin, Packer, the ABC, Holmes-a-Court, George Piggins, Snoop Dog and every Sydney orthodontist.

Im really flip flopping between who I want to win, or really its who I want to lose more. So I'm putting together a list:

Pros in Penrith losing:
* Ivan will be sad and potentially have a complete mental break down over Bennett smiling
* Every year penrith don't win it Gould becomes less able to take credit for a Premiership
* Latrell Mitchell will probably have another massive sook on social media about not playing
* Souths fans dont get to go to the game and enjoy it properly
* Souths windown ends this season so they wont win it again anytime soon
* I'll be happy for Benji
* Teams that lose 2 GFs in a row then become AIDS for the next few years (Easts 03/04, Saints 92/93, Balmain 88/89)


Pros in Souths losing:
* Russell Crowe will cry and likley blame the referees
* We won't have to listen to Gould go on about how Penrith were actually the better team for the next 12 months
* Penrith will probably win one with this squad at some stage, and LOL@ their fans not being able to celebrate it properly due to lockdown
* The two times Penrith won a comp they've then been completely irrelevant for the next decade
* The media won't have all off season saying 'I cant believe the Tigers let Benji go'
* Souths will still have 1 comp in the last 50 years and wont be adding to it anytime soon
* I dont find the Panthers team anywhere near as unlikable as they were last year
* I can say we beat the Premiers
* Dylan Edwards winning a comp gives hope to all the kids plying their trade in the 12Ds that they can still make it

From my observations Souths fans seem fairly relaxed whilst Panthers fans are nervous. Funnily enough this is mirrored by their coaches.

I just hope its entertaining. I dont buy the games are good just becuase they are close. The Panthers/Storm game was absolute dogshit quality and only exciting in the last 4 minutes because it was close and a final. The Eels/Panthers game was ordinary too but slightly better viewing.

Ultimately I'm tipping Penrith something like 14-12. This was said for another game but my big hope is that its a controversial game with the better team losing due to a dud bunker call in the last minute.

Im honestly happy we are in the Grand Final this year

I think we can win but won't be devastated if we lose.

2014 is still a near memory.

I also don't agree our window is closing. Maybe a rocky year next year as we adjust without Reynolds but we will find our feet quickly

I actually think we are in for a tougher time in the future if we win it this year

Snoop Doggy Dogg hates us too? This is all too much.

He got Snoop a Rabbit jersey. He resembled a wino hanging outside Redfern rail.
