2021 Grand Final: Panthers V Souths

[Aliceinwonderland]

I swear i look like Brandy every single time I watch the team start to celebrate as the full time siren goes. Just so overwhelmed with joy and pride.

When it's so tough for our club to win a competition it feels beyond special.

Brandys reaction was priceless. I end up in tears when watching it, every single time.

I have to admit, when I saw Brandy's raw emotion, I shed a tear, or more.

If Almost 40 years of service wasn't proof enough that Brandy loves the club. That reaction proves it

Be interesting we know brandy has about 40 years service to the club .i think Jim Jones our recruitment guy would be the longest serving panther he must have over 40 years with only 1 year out of that when he was with st Mary’s the rest continuous

According to Crighton is post match interviews (the next day). The intercept was a planned move.
The players had trained to do just what occured, with our own Peter Wallace playing the role of Cody Walker.
So some planning and thinking went into it all. Just like the week before with the kick try.

It was a trap.

Kiks was videoed singing the Rabbitohs team song. What a naughty man?

He went to Queanbeyan in the early 80s and actually played for the Raiders in 1984.

A summary of the career stats for Gundog hooker toured NZ with NSW Country in 1974 before becoming the Panthers' first grade rake immediately before Royce Simmons. Jones left the club to play with Queanbeyan in 1984 but returned to Penrith in 1990 as a lower grade coach before becoming the...

He has been a recruitment officer well past 2002 .there is a lot of years racked up after 2002

Brad Fittler gained more. Panthers halves pairings have won him 3x Origin series.

Fittlers success with established halves pairings is pretty high. His success without them is incredibly low.

That is the story of NSW though. When was the last time we won a series without a halves pairing that wasn’t a club combination (either at the time or previously played together?). Got to go back to Joey and ?? In 2005?

Watched the replay, the only thing I’ll say is that Kikau on the final play doesn’t even get near the ball with his foot. Being pedantic, that’s a penalty. 40m out and 15 in, you’d back Reynolds to kick it but it would take a special kind of f**kwit to blow that penalty.

It’s funny that you brought this up as I didn’t really notice it live but focused on it after watching the replay and I thought to myself, “Gee he’s lucky he wasn’t penalised for that”.

But it would’ve been a tad pedantic (and controversial) if it was given a penalty as both teams had poor play-the-balls throughout the game without any ramifications.

They haven't penalised play the ball infringements all year.

This season we went back to the players just rolling the ball between there legs each and every game, 75% of the time.

The refs could find a breach of the rules each and every tackle if they wanted to In some shape or form.

I thought for the most part the refs were pretty good during the finals series.

 

[Michael Matral]

Wow..now its all sunk in and I've had time to digest...I have come to the conclusion that I'm glad we didn't play razzle dazzle for the last 3 games like earlier in the year,,we played a style far more calculated and tough. Really tough and courageous and clever. We beat Melbourne at their own game and it was set practiced moves that scored that first try against them and the intercept against Souths. Well planned and well executed. We missed plenty of tries but the opposition defence was so good this last 3 weeks, that by pure extra effort we were just better. This mindset will hold us in good stead for the next few years..

Disappointed that no official jumped in and put the trophy away at least till the next morning.Our club just won a grand final instead of basking in its glory we are being bashed in the media from pillar to post

This is great for 2022. The boys won't struggle for motivation now

Yep they love to bash us. The trophy has been broken before, the boys were ridiculed by Storm last year but Kikau singing Souths Anthem is much worse apparently and now Nathan is responsible for a couple of blokes crossing the border! Funny how when Panthers do this stuff its far worse.

And May is just an idiot, should have shut his mouth.

 

[roofromoz]

If May didn't play (or better still had been 'released' last year) at least half the bad shit that had been reported since Sunday would not have happened.
