2023 PF Fri - Penrith 38-4 Melbourne @ Accor

[lockyno1]

Will NAS do an arm bar on Luai emulating Cam Smith's heroics sixteen years ago in a prelim?

All for a clothesline with the defence of “it’s only Luai Sir”

 

[Someone2]

NAS anytime try scorer Luai’s shoulder to give way

 

[Perth Red]

Not expecting much from my team tonight but still a great year finishing third and getting this far after losing 6 rep, 1 dally m players over last two seasons and no star Fb all year. hopefully we can bash the panthers and give the gf opponents a bit of a chance.

What a hateable semi final. No matter who wins, RL loses.

 

[Black Panther]

What a hateable semi final. No matter who wins, RL loses.

Such a shame your team is long gone. No one is making you watch this game, off to bed now.

 

[KOMORI]

f**k I don’t know who to support here…

All I’ve got is 40-0 lol

 

[Fangs]

There is nothing to gain in a Storm win.

And absolutely everything to gain in a Penrith win. Kids all around the country can't wait to see the boys in black grace the field.

I hope we beat NZ and make the GF but you won't see me prancing around just assuming we will win and make it to the GF, anyone can beat anyone on any given day in this competition. Your team isn't full of immortals, Melbourne just have to match you guys in the forwards and they can absolutely beat you. While you'd be a brave man to suggest that will happen, it could happen.

Parramatta got you a few weeks ago, if Parramatta can beat you, Melbourne surely can. I wouldn't bet on it but it could happen.

Prance around all you can and make the most of it. Loosen up so you can feel yourself enjoying the expierence. Screw other people in what they think of you in openly barracking for your side.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Hopefully Nelson grubs it up

Some real tough men in Martin and Fish will flog him if so

You don't have a team

 

[GongPanther]

Storm by 2

Cleary to choke the kick to send it to extra time

28-12.................to the Panthers.

 

[Iamback]

You don't have a team

West Coast Eagles are a team

 

[Munky]

28-12.................to the Panthers.

To be fair Nathan f**ked up and was inches from making it 34 nil.

Fifty was on the cards.

 

[GongPanther]

Don’t rate him that much tbh. Would’ve preferred to keep Clune.

I find that surprising. A very stable mature player, as I think he will benefit Newcastle very well.

 

[KingFlanno7]

Storm in a close one. Luai wont last the full 80 either way it will be a cracker of a game

 

[KOMORI]

Is it Allana or something in the red coat??

Would FURIOUSLY disappoint

 

[Frankus]

I get what you're saying but you're missing one key element.

Hughes has a soft tissue injury, Luai is one arm twist away from it coming back out of the socket. What are you going to do? Give Hughes a free passage to the line and see if his calf pulls up short?

He would have been working on shoulder stability for 4 weeks. One twist away from it coming out again is embellishing a bit. I did my shoulder and was playing again 6 weeks later (almost identical injury to Luai). Any first grader is a twist away from an ACL or labral/rotor cuff tear.
Calf tears - any movement at all on the field uses the calf muscle.
I hope both get through the game unscathed.
In saying that, if I was to put money on one doing the same injury again, it would be Hughes.

 

[Perth Red]

You don't have a team

Don’t have one, got three RL clubs I go for. Go Storm, rovers and north beach! North beach title in bag, rovers made the playoffs. maybe Storm GF next?

 

[MRN]

Need to sit back, relax and enjoy this because this time tomorrow I'll be bouncing off the f##king walls.

Interesting to see how Luai goes tonight
