2023 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 26-24 Brisbane @ Accor

[some11]

First half when your mob had all the running it seemed like Cleary and Luai were not on the same page. A lot of disorganised footy and nothing plays (with poor last tackle options). Luai leaving the field seemed to be a turning point for their attack.

All the evidence the panthers' front office need to cut him loose

And I thought 2015 was the worst I’d hurt

Sorry moite, but at least it was another amazing game of footy.

I'm in bits haha. Sad for the club, and all the supporters. Couldn't believe how many of us were there, it felt like 65 v 35.

Had money on the Broncos because I figured maybe (just maybe) their enthusiasm would get them over the line, so call me a hater all you like. Also just got home from the local establishment with a reasonable amount of beverages under my belt so forgive the spelling-

There was a Panthers fan sitting near me and these eshays were giving him shit early in the second half. I leaned in and said to him that even if they were 14 or 16 points down, Penrith could find a way because they have composure. Later (after the match) I saw him in the beer garden and he was happy as Larry and I reminded him of what I said. Totally sounded like Gus Gould self-fellating after a game that turns out how he says, but I was right

To the Broncos fans, this is what it was like supporting NSW circa 2006-2013. You have a team with the enthusiasm and the talent and (in flashes) they are amazing. But you are playing a side with winning in their DNA. Has nothing to do with a lack of passion or heart, just comes down to composure and experience in those key moments. Tonight was for Brisbane what 2020 was for Penrith- came close but fell short against a team who beat you on experience. Walsh is just 20 years old, he has plenty of time to grow into his potential- look at Ponga. Just got beaten by a more experienced side who kept their cool.

Disappointed to (essentially) flush $100 down the toilet tonight because I am a romantic who thought maybe the Broncos could do it- and looked like they could after Ezra's 10 minutes of magic. At the same time, happy to see Cleary shut the haters up. He IS a big game player, and deserves every accolade he's got so far.

Enjoy the night/ morning Panthers, don't suffocate on the cloud of smug farts.

Penrith never lead that game.

Broncos were up by 16 and just sat back and watched penrith score three tries.

 

[JokerEel]

Me still 10 to go last tackle 20 out Reynolds goes to the 15 for a hitup instead of an attacking kick Penrith on the back of that get a dropout... On the back of that Reynolds kicks it out on the full then wastes a challenge..


Game controller my f**king ass

Newcastle are Westies next to a beach.

We could not be less westie if we tried. I literally live on the most eastern point of Australia. I’ve never worn a bum bag or had sexual attraction to a family member.

 

[Sonny83]

conspiracists will say this is why the donkeys lost the game

 

[Munky]

Is 24-8 the NRL equivalent of 28-3?

 

[Chins get the wins]

I'm sure none have been attracted to you either

 

[Fangs]

Its the greatest comeback of all time. I don't think I'll ever comprehend it.

Brisbane did an amazing job in the first 20. And then another amazing job cutting up our right edge in the second half. It was their grand final and we stole it from them.

Goodbye 9 app til Orgin

 

[Mr Angry]

Nathan Cleary exposed how bad Walsh is as defensive fullback. Kid can only get better, but his liability was exposed in the second half.

Yeah, yeah great in attack, exposed by I am guessing both Cleary's.

Poor Ezra, three tries yet another bloke deserves MoM.

 

[fourplay]

From memory it was on the first tackle, so largely irrelevant.

It meant that when Cleary ran the ball it was the 4th tackle instead of the 5th

 

[GongPanther]

f**k. They're gonna smugger than ever

The perceived smug is over. Can't deny a team what it has done collectively for the past three years. Time to respect it, or it eats you from the inside out.

It is always hard to tell because a high percentage of our fanbase wear the pink, If it was all black then these things are easier.

I did notice a high amount of neutral fans wearing other teams jerseys
