2023 PF Fri - Penrith 38-4 Melbourne @ Accor

[yobbo84]

The Storm are miles behind the top 2 atm. Their pack is fragile, outside backs terrible and their best 2 players (Munster, Grant) are in the worst form of their lives.

I fully expect these prelims to be like in 2008/2012 when 1st and 2nd belted their opponents by 30.

We were actually up 8-4 in the 2012 prelim after about 30 mins and were on top until Reyno did his hammy, Issac Luke went to halfback and we lost the plot

Much like last year's prelim to be honest

Actually I'm kind of glad to not have to suffer the prelim finals for a year, give my balding head a break

Mozza gone all out feral attack , lol

If there's a saltier flog on these forums, I haven't had the pleasure, Seems to be traumatized by the end of the Newy fairytale/soft draw.

The 1995 and 2000 Maroons squads would like a word

Also one W.Bennett, who wouldn't have gone anywhere near Maroons training if he thought that bunch of players were in the running for the worst Qld team ever assembled...

It’s whoever does Joey’s PR that really should be the Immortal…

I’m happy I’ve made an impact in here. Certainly more effective than Cleary for the Blues.

Anyway PENRITH should be winning this comfortably. The Storm seem a shadow of their former selves.

Anyway, Cleary plays for Penrith. No one other than you really gives a f**k about Origin. You would give your left nut to have him in your team.
Like Mason stated the other day ‘Newcastle have the worst spine in the comp’.
Eat a bag of dicks you poor simple prick, your season is over.

False. There’s 2 things Cleary is better at than Joey:
1 - Goal kicking
2 - Having deformed facial features.

Don't forget dancing

If we run out as named they will live stream this on pornhub. Martina might need the backup strap on to get through the halftime pep talk.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Yes injuries happen. Does Munster get credited for 2022 series win?

Ahh yes the NSW side full of elite players like Gutho in centres? Or the stack of injuries NSW also had

He was voted NSW best player, but yes lets take the word of some keyboard warrior

Mozza and warrior got together like police uniform and Mensa

 

[pims]

two key players and also Mitch Kenny back for PENRITH

It's incredible. How has it come to this. 3 teams I can't stand and a team going for 3 premierships and 4 grand finals in a row. I wouldn't hate Penrith in normal circumstances but they have won far too much.

I don't want any of them to win but by simply being the least worst club left I am forced to go for Penrith.

Don't know if this has already been said, Souths won a few GFs in a few brackets of years: 1925,26,27,28,29. Then 1931 and 1932. Then 1950,51,53,54,55. Then 1967,68, and 1970,71.

Your team has had it's fair share of success over the years in condensed periods of time, so if you dont mind, it's other team's turn to shine.

 

[GongPanther]

You’d imagine Penrith will win but I’d be f**king hilarious if they didn’t.

As it was last week in NZ.

 

[GongPanther]

There are no good guys in this matchup. It’s Hitler vs Stalin.

Stalin got away with more.

The winner is just cannon fodder for the team that wins the other prelim

Watch last years GF, and you'll realise what the Broncos will be up against. Our forward pack didn't play like that before and after that '22 GF. Coach has them perfectly timed and primed for this GF day. Ivan Cleary, the Bart Cummins of Rugby League.

 

[dogz08]

Will Melbourne even make a line break in this game?

 

[GongPanther]

Mozza gone all out feral attack , lol

His side did very well and I'm sure he is proud of what his team accomplished. Not sure why he seems always salty towards us being the fact that both of our clubs are generally blue collard working sides.

Fmd bloke. Ya gotta get there yet

 

[GongPanther]

After Melbourne snuck in with a very fortunate win via the Klinmiester, and with the Roosters having more firepower missing from their backline from last week's match, that is what you would call a Clayton's victory.

Sadly the experts where trying as hard as they could to give the Storm supporters (and players for that matter) some false hope.

I'll tell you know that Luai will not play and neither will Tago. The Panthers will be at their most clinical in this training run for the GF.

NSW Panthers by 4-0.

Come on mate, it's all banter...top 4 banter!
