2021 PF 1 Sat - Melbourne 6-10 Penrith @ Suncorp

BA deserves a statue for it

The glorious SOB

 

[skeepe]

So was it $100? $500? $1,000?

Sorry you lost your money

Didn’t lose any money. Rugby league, however, lost its soul.

2019 - Bellamy blows a premiership sitting out Croft, when he was by far there best halfback option
2021 - Bellamy blows a premiership putting Pappa back to fullback when his side had absolutely clicked with Hynes back there...

Over rated coach.

 

[JamesRustle]

Remember these times. There might be a time where they no longer hurt.

I see the 2015 GF as a positive now. Never thought that would ever be the case given how graphic it was at the time

Broncs have really got their shit together and kicked on since 2015.

 

[t-ba]

Let’s face it if you can’t beat the Baldamatta Eels in a season you don’t deserve to play in the GF. We gave the Storm Alopecia.

 

[Billythekid]

I think Smith was probably the biggest loss. I reckon Storm win with 1. Hynes 6. Munster 7. Hughes 9. Smith.

On the other hand, they didnt look like they wanted to win today tbh. Worst game I've seen them play for a while. That completion rate.

It's all hypotheticals but yeah i agree about Smith. The loss of Smith shifted a huge amount of extra workload to other forwards and we lost his X factor. I think he has been the heart and soul of our team this year.

I feel bad because i didn't used to rate him at 9 but now i think he's close to the best 9 in the game.

 

[moffla]

I think it's a bit weird because people have been telling us for the past half a season that the premiership is literally ours already. Personally I think when it all settles down it will be pretty crazy to think how good the storm have done after losing that last of the big 3. Crazy season really.

Also whilst this loss stings that won't compare to souths ruining the 50 point thread. f**k panthers better win next week.

Yeah you’re not wrong. After two seasons on playing on the road we’ve come away with a premiership and a minor premiership. I’ll take it

 

[Bazal]

The glorious SOB

In years to come Eels fans will polish his bald bronze head for luck

 

[skeepe]

f**k Brandy is insufferable right now, the smug git.

 

[roofromoz]

The Storm write their name in the history books as minor premiers who have equalled the longest winning streak, with one of the players scoring a record 6 tries in a game.
Many would have predicted them to be back to back premiers after their insane differentail, but the Panthers redemption cannot be denied.

Just like Penrith last year - 17 in a row, and then...

 

[GongPanther]

Melbourne were amazing with being that close with a two man bench

We should have put them to bed with the possession and field position. Edwards really shits me at times, and what makes it worse is that the talking heads on TV talked him up without pointing out that he left potentially 12 points out there before 1/2 time.

He is a 80/20 liability.

 

[JamesRustle]

Storm completely rooted in the post big 4 era. They'll be making up the numbers for the next 10 years.

 

[Munky]

Doesn't count all of the metres to run to stand next to the play the ball on the last every set either.

Best player on the field imo

Gets there every kick too.

Cynical as f**k, but it's the little things

Best player on the field every week. Moses look good in a origin.

In for a Cordner retirement so I hope he gets one next week.

 

[Hutty1986]

No one actually thinks Cleary will miss the grand final over that farcical report, surely? Absolutely nothing in it.

 

[roofromoz]

The Panthers are the most unlikeable team in the NRL by some stretch. Disaster having them in the grand final.

Luai - merkin
JFH - merkin
Martin - merkin
Cleary x 2 - merkins both
Leota - merkin
Burton - merkin
TPJ - merkin
May - merkin
Capewell - merkin
Kikau - merkin

and as for Edwards? He’s a merkin.

Souths by 40

Please, if Kikau leaves Penrith, he goes to Canberra. Just to spite you.

 

[hineyrulz]

He's inside Floptus stadium for the kick-and-giggle-GF

He’s in the Optus stadium Boggers showing all and sundry what Power Bottom really means.

 

[GongPanther]

Penrith cheat their way to a grand final. What a sickening result.

See you next week fook-face.

Papenhuyzen or Hynes, one or the other, but not both. They were found out today with only two forwards on the bench, as was expected.

 

[roofromoz]

Penrith played their grand final today. Souths will pulverise them.

Just like the Storm were going to grind us into dust? OK.

Over rated coach.

he lost it attempting to moneyball the comp by selecting reimis and gennings. They probably would have even won with reimis on the wing and hynes at centre
