Absolutely - you played incredible footy.

I'm quite proud that we were able to stem the bleeding, as it were, but we were always going to be up against it after that flawless first 40 from the Panthers.

We were in the same boat in 2020 and to keep the score respectable is a big win, As fans you hope it can kick start the following year

I'm gobsmacked at the Eels' preparation. 😮
BA's plan of keeping everything normal might have made sense if they had strung more than two wins back to back all year. Live and learn though I guess, Ivan's prep for 2020 was pretty odd too, f**kin' nailed it this year though. It will be interesting to see if BA gets another shot at it.

Parramatta lost that game when I think it was Dylan Brown kicked on the first tackle for Moses. Just knew they were mentally shot and had nothing. Perineal downhill skiers forever
I was laughing at that moment. Just got a fresh set a little short of half way. Kicked the ball straight to us without asking us to make a tackle and once we got through our set kicked it back to them they were starting a set from their 10m line and went nowhere with it.

At the end of the day they were just beaten by a far superior team

When I heard that, I was certain we'd win

Congratulations Penrith on the win .

i Went to the game and was hoping having the larger crowd support would spur us on and make a real go of the game . Alas it wasn’t to be .

parra just couldn’t handle the go forward of Penrith and they were mauling us when we were in attack . Best team of the year and 3 years won the game and congrats to them it was deserved .

shattering we got smashed , but we did great to make it to the big one so the boys should be proud of that . I think Penrith have shown the way with their defence and how the go about it and parra needs to work on that during the off-season

Meh,The Penrith Blues lost two 'unloseable' Origin series in the past 3 years so the Panthers players are still overrated duds imo

Last night just wasn't our night. But it's pretty standard these days that you have to lose one before you win one so I consider this part one of our journey. We'll come back bigger and stronger next year while Penrith will be on the decline. We will be there again next year and they won't be. Our last 10 minutes where we dominated gives us something to work with heading in to 2023.
Parra Will win 3 in a row. Good times are coming for you.
