2022 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 28-12 Parramatta @ Accor

[Diesel]

Penrith too good

 

[edabomb]

Brad Arthur to do his best Daniel Anderson GF halftime routine and chuck Cher Believe on the boombox.

Parramatta have played 3 grand finals in the NRL era. Their first halves net off to 52-0.

They won the 2nd halves in 01 and 09, but gave up too big a lead to win them... I think this trend will continue.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Commentators will still be calling for Parra to just hang in there at the 79th minute down by 30.

 

[Pippen94]

What a shit first half

 

[skeepe]

There were literally no rules applied to Penrith in that set

Luai held down for 6 seconds! And still not set restart!

Absolutely abominable from Klein so far.

 

[Diesel]

Credit to Ashley Klein overall has been good

[This Year?]

Perfect half from the Panthers. The quality of their defence and how they've worked Moses and Brown over has been genius.

 

[Game_Breaker]

Really feel for the hardcore long-suffering Parramatta supporters here...

I don’t lol

I want more pain for them in the second half

 

[Perth Red]

Apparently there is hope for parra according to the tv geniuses lol

 

[t-ba]

Nuts to think that this isn't worst first half of a Grand Final for the Eels in the NRL era.

This one feels like the 2007 grand final.

 

[Pippen94]

They'll win second half by 2 points..

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

TBF I dont think Parra have been that bad, Penrith are just a juggernaut and the way the semis went with the 3 best teams on one side of the draw always meant this type of GF was likely

Penrith clearly better but Parra definitely nervous and playing without intensity. Bad decisions on last plays shows the massive choke factor. Total bags of nerves the whole side.

 

[Diesel]

Pete Fitzbandanahead will pretend he’s not watching this game

 

[Haffa]

The idea of this grand final was fun..

 

[Dodgy]

Parra and Penrith scored more than 18pts in unsuccessful comeback attempts in the 01 and 20sGFs. One day, a team will stuff up a lead like that in a GF. Then you have the stupid super bowl the Atlanta Falcons should've won.

You can't take anything for granted at the moment despite how it seems for neutrals.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

I don’t lol

I want more pain for them in the second half

You'll get it, without question

 

[Pippen94]

Pete Fitzbandanahead will pretend he’s not watching this game

He watched every minute of afl grand final too..

 

[Vic Mackey]

Penrith clearly better but Parra definitely nervous and playing without intensity. Bad decisions on last plays shows the massive choke factor. Total bags of nerves the whole side.

they played that way last week too. Not sure why they’ve seemingly gone in with a totally different game plan to the 2 times they beat them earlier in the year.
