Lol. Penrith and Ivan's game plan was always to keep the main forwards fresh then just pound home. It was a master-class coaching performance.
Remember Pou also said JFH and LEOTA are just average forwards. I mean seriously the pair just stuck to the script.

Also let's not compared Moses and Nathan anymore. It's embarrassing

He didn't shit the bed when they got to a lead either by rushing those 2 back.

He did it all tonight. Sets up the Leota try, the 40/20, the slick pass for Crightons try, nails the conversion and then scores the game winning try. It was such a great effort.
Yeah he did Hindy, and I get why you rate him. But he has to dominate at origin level to be considered one of the absolute greats

They have a much better team than we do, and have only lost Farnworth and Flegler from this year's squad. They will no doubt replace them with some other up-and-comers. #BroncosDollars
Do they? At the start of the year you’d have said point blank we have a far better team on paper.

our players are also paid higher than all of theirs in every key position, so your #broncosDollars doesn’t stack up at all

Wow. Just wow.

I was going to log in mid-game, when Panthers were down 24-8 and say that I didn't think they could come back from there with the minutes left and momentum of the game, after Mam's three tries (several scored through Nathan Cleary).

I was going to type something about Nathan Cleary disappearing into an Origin sized hole, and not handling the pressure when behind on the scoreboard, and joke about them needing Moses out there to have any chance of grabbing the three-peat.

And then bit by bit, with the first choice middles back on ramping it up, Nathan Cleary put on a 20min show of calm control and absolute finesse for the ages for them to score the three tries required to come back and win the thing and a deserved three-peat.

Bow down, Cleary was great and a well deserved medallist. Some absolute numpties (Kenny? Cogger?) snagged a premiership ring this year, but the Panthers' system is just so good. Crichton was immense though, and I suspect the Panthers will find him very hard to replace next season.

Moses this year was as good as Cleary in Origin. He is the legitimate second best 7 after him. Please don’t shit on our best player, we’d be f**ked without him.

100% Moses is just a step below Cleary with some more consistent forwards around him he could get us a premium a year or 2.

With Yeo and Luai going off I thought it was over then Leota came on and I thought that if Clearly could get a roll on he may step up and he did. Guy is next level

I should've counted on the Broncos' inexperience coming to the fore. I actually had Penrith 13+ on the punt I was so confident Brisbane would shit themselves. But I believe the Broncos' squad is significantly better than Penrith's (and everyone else's) and for a while I thought I might've been wrong about their inexperience being an issue.


why not blame it on the prelim against the cowboys in Townsville….

Already the GOAT mate. 2 x Clive Churchill's. 3 grand finals. 25yrs old.
Yeo,Sorenson off with a HIA. LUAI and TAGO off injured and to do what he did. I've never seen anything like that. Special.
He is the GOAT .
You're a Goat.
