2021 Grand Final: Panthers V Souths

[GongPanther]

1975 Easts defeated St George 38-0, Melbourne took it out to 40. Let's do 41+++

I was there. Changa had the white boots on, and the first time I recall a whole GF crowd LOL-ing as one.

We're going to get flogged. Souths are just too good especially Bennett.

Deep breaths Westy. It was just a nightmare.

The system works. I have 100% record in finals games

Yep and I will put a small bet on Souths to win even they can’t carry my bad punting

Melbourne lost by 40.

The week 1 game was an aberration. It took an awful lot to go wrong, and Souths to play their best game of the year, to lose by one score.

Melbourne lost by 40.

You are correct - I am getting old. I knew it was a team that I hated that won it - it probably confused me as these are the two teams that I hate!

Yes it was indeed a dark age when they played back to back deciders.

Good job on the win guys
Glad Atkins could get you’s over the line

Still can't believe we get a chance at redemption. Takes so much hard work to get even one shot at a grand final. Here we are with a slightly busted roster struggling to get our attack firing but doing absolutely everything we can to hang on to victory for another chance.

If you told anyone Storm would have 54% possession, win the penalty count, set restarts, have 3 line drop outs to our none etc. You would think Storm would have won by 30.

It would be heartbreaking to work so hard only to lose again. But I am proud of what we have done regardless. These guys have put their bodies through hell to get here.

if Souths are good enough - they wont need the refs to determine the result - same goes with us.

best team decides the result on the day over 80 minutes - not down to a call a referee makes

Don’t know if you watch much rugby league but every game we talk about ref and the calls they make. I’m sure this game will be no different

Shocked to see a Souths supporter feeling sorry for themselves...

 

[Sime_11]

its easy to blame the refs - its the players job to defend their line and not allow points - the refs dont score the try/points for the attacking team.

our D was fantastic last year - except we were down 20-0 at HT in the GF v Storm. clearly our D wasn't good enough on the night.

And every game they ignore that calls that often balance out the decisions too. Mistakes are inevitable. Humans make mistakes. So long as the referees aren't intentionally giving every call one way.
