2021 Grand Final: Panthers V Souths

[Iamback]

South’s have just launched a complaint into how much time our trainer was on the field against storm. It’s best that Ivan and the club just ignores it and not fall into the same trap again, just focus on the footy. Especially our loud mouth ceo, just BE QUIET

Those here in Sydney can go for it. Those in camp in QLD need to shut up

Yeah they need to shut up and just win the damn game.

This just proves that Bennett is desperate, and he's a hypocrite.

There is a good article on nrl.com about how our 17 players named for the grand final were scouted to Penrith.

The comment below about Liam Martin made me laugh, and sums him up perfectly!

Jones: "I remember saying to his mum that ideally he'd be at training two or three nights a week. Maxine responded very firmly that we would see him every Friday. Given the distance I honestly crossed his name off the list when I looked around a training session and couldn't see the kid from Temora. Then one of the coaches dragged us over to watch this unknown country fella belting kids that were double his size, no one wanted to run at him. I wrote his name back down quick smart."

No Bennett has been using the media for years. He's playing the game. Our side just have to be smart enough to see what's happening and play it with a straight bat.

Ivan last time:

Bennett can swerve it sometimes though

I just wanted to post that gif in all honesty. Absolute peach.

Right through him. Beautiful.

Best ball I've ever seen. Harris was an amazing bowler. Such a shame about the injuries

How bloody slow was he though when Smith made the break. I've seen grandpa and his frame go faster up High St

First game back from an MCL which might not have been 100% healed but it's true he is hardly Jason Saab at the best of times.

both him and pattinson for me very underrated in our red ball teams. patto can’t even get a game coz of starc

Hard to know what Pattinson could have been. Injuries and playing in an era with some pretty special quicks haven't worked in his favor.

Is it normal that I have had a strange feeling in my stomach all week and need to do a nervous crap ever time I think about this Sunday?

Lol exactly how I feel. Every time someone mentions just the phrase “grand final” my stomach drops

Some good stories there.
Interesting that they had Nathan pegged as a Hooker initially.

always thought he deserved a spot over starc, doesnt offer a lot after the early stages of the innings.

Wish Bennett would focus on the game rather than trying to manipulate the referees yet again. The NRL claim it has no effect on how they adjudicate. Yet from the opening whistle of our first game referees were warning us about exactly what he complained about.

Souths are then doing the same thing they whined about us doing but not being warned for it. Now they're complaining about trainers on the field when Wayne Bennett and Alfie were the ones who made it an art to have a trainer on as 18th man.

I'm like that when we're playing a bottom 4 team in round 8, so I'd say its pretty normal for a grand final.
