First time we've had a shot at back-to-back titles at this stage of a season, it's pretty surreal. The flip side is we'll never hear the end of it if Parra break their drought against us. So all the more reason we need to prevail next week.
Also, if Penrith go B-T-B then it diminishes both theirs and the Roosters effort, showing how soft the comp has been since 2010.

Quadruple actually.

Won SG Ball in April - came back from 0-20 against Roosters
Won Flegg this afternoon - came back from 6-18 against Newcastle
Currently ahead in NSW Cup with 30 mins to go
NRL next week.

Newcastle made some dumb decisions in the Flegg match. Went for tries on two occasions when they should've set up for field goals.
Actually a quintet if we win the state cup V Devils.

Ours would be more unique because it would have been done largely with a squad of Penrith District juniors and players we developed. I don't think the perceived softness of the comp is relevant. Was it a soft comp when the Broncos won back-to-back in 92-93, or Raiders in 89-90? I was only a kid back then but don't remember anyone calling it a soft comp at the time. Funnily enough there wasn't social media/internet back then and people didn't complain so much.

We’re all in for a treat this weekend, compulsory channel 9 coverage… FFS
Tune into ABC grandstand and start recording the game at least 5-10 mins before kick-off. On the recording timeline, pause or forward the feed until you are synced with the radio call. Will take a little bit of getting used to.

Once you get it synced, don't touch the recording and the ABC call during half time, just let it be. Make sure you have enough space on your HDD. If you want, you can sort this out when the state cup or the women's game starts so you can get the hang of it.

Sadly once again, we don't have the Roy & HG call during the GF.

Actually, It’s a Parra choke if the Eels don’t take Penrith to the wire at the very least!
We all know Parra match up well with Penrith.
Not lately. After an embarrassing 27-8 loss a few weeks ago, do you think it's going to be any different on Sunday, especially after the way we dealt with a very good Souths side?
