Going to cry

Got the same feeling. Been on the wrong end of this game sooooo many times.

Congrats Broncos. Absolutely deserved it. To those enjoying the Papenhuyzen suffering a potential career ending injury, take a look at yourselves.

Pick up the pieces and belt whoever you play next week. No way melb play that poorly two finals matches in a row.

Ding dong the witch is dead. Great game and keeping the Storm to 0 was just the icing on the cake.

 

[Generalzod]

Got to say the Penrith Panthers are still the benchmark if the team goes on to the Grand Final this year would be a huge achievement 4th in a row..

 

[hineyrulz]

good lord the Penrith boomers in here are pretty sad sacks of shit for back to back premiers

It's like waking up next to Margot Robbie after a 48 hour session and being grumpy.

Sooky merkins, Eels fans have been waking up next to Raylene Castle for 37 years straight.

 

[Pneuma]

You sulky merkins are the best at finding an issue with something.

You’re a germ.

Broncos were good but Melbourne were atrocious. Couldn’t believe how bad they were. Play like that again and they’re out in straight sets.

Poor Papenhuyzen. He’s had so much bad luck to cop another serious injury is devastating.

I think Melbourne have done extremely well to make the top four. I do not rate this years pack at all. A few sides from even outside the top eight have had their way over the Melbourne pack. The Melbourne backs have bailed the side out of a lot of situations. Bellyache I think will be looking for some forwards to fill a few holes next year.

watching the game in the UK as a neutral with a slight leaning to Brisbane
1. amazing spectacle of sport although too much whistle blowing from the man in the middle stopping the game flowing
2. great broncos defence
3. souths must have to be the biggest idiots in RL to let Adam Reynolds go
4. awful luck for paps but he has a full off season to recover
5. is Justin Olam injured? they need something to shake up the back line
6'Herbie must be regretting signing for the dolphins instead of staying in this young exiting line up for years to come
7 if they win the GF they should give ST Helens or whoever a real challenge which the panthers cant seem to manage- is it 3 attempts and 3 defeats against SL clubs?

 

[Bazal]

Poor Papz.

If there's an upside it's that I think the average broken ankle recovery time is about 8 weeks? Ofc you don't know much til the x-ray and MRIs show how bad the fracture is and whether there's any ligament damage with it. But no reason he can't be back at ore season after Xmas break even with a pretty serious fracture.

Maybe have a think about that, and then rethink some of your posts in this thread.

This could potentially end an incredibly popular player's career, and all you have done is cry that people aren't talking about the Broncos.

Only child syndrome, I'm sure he'll head over to see mummy to get all the attention he craves, although he has got a bit in this thread (all deserved). The only conclusion is he's a deadset merkin of a person.

Lmao, is a Broncos fan actually crying because people are more focused on commenting on Paps injury rather than giving the Broncos credit (for beating a side that are very beatable these days)? FMD lol. That’s really sad.

Handling errors are still too high for the Broncos

 

[gUt]

Great result but how terrible for Paps. Heartbreaking

Yes, but only one.

It's clear that the rest of us, while excited about our team, our thoughts are also with Paps. The entire club has been too - numerous comments and social media posts extending their thoughts.

Gut wrenching for the guy.

I see people basically calling Pap's career a write off, not all compound fractures end careers, it really depends exactly where it is, Yow Yeh's was a career ender but his was in a terrible spot

 

[Sphagnum]

Can someone do a count back and see how many f**ken times some obsessed wanker came in here to talk about Penrith?

Apparently it wasn’t a compound as first thought. If that’s true it’s a massive win in the scheme of things.
Even if it was, a lot has changed since Yow Yen’s injury in terms of the way these things are treated

Yow Yeh ended up having 10 operations I believe. I remember reading an article somewhere where a surgeon described his ankle as 'minced and imploded' or something of the like.
