2023 R27 Sat - Penrith 44-12 North Qld @ BlueBet

[blue bags]

Panthers lost WCC . And battle of the west vs EELS .
But got lucky with MP

 

[yobbo84]

Pretty amazing to think that 3 of the 4 prelim finalists from last year have finished 9th, 10th and 11th.

Meanwhile Penrith look unstoppable.

Well done to the reigning premiers and minor premiers.
Now kick back and celebrate with some champagne comedy on fox league.

I used to watch Artie, Coote and co carry that shield around on grand final day in the 1970s. Anyone who thinks in winning the MP is nothing, knows SFA.

If we are going to play Melbourne, I'd prefer it to be in a Qualifying final then a prelim. Annoyed we didn't get the MP, but opponent next week doesn't phase me. It was going to be tough either way, Storm or Warriors, as Warriors are one of those teams that normally rise against the Broncos regardless of their form.
And as if we "threw a game to get away from Melbourne". Warriors were not favourites they rested plenty and anyone could see the Dolphins were going to end on a high at "home". If throwing games is an accusation one can make here, may I throw out that Penrith threw the game against Parra to put the Broncos on the Melbourne path. Not because Penrith are concerned about Melbourne, but because Melbourne are Brisbane's bogie team.

Meth …. Not even once

Depends on how the Cogger in the machine goes next week.

Abdo is Rain Man

Wraps to Abdo for remembering those stats and not reading it off a card

The f**ked thing is the cap bit Penrith the hardest too.

Koroisau and Kikau were massive losses. Things are that bad we actually miss Mitch Kenny when he's out

Yet a side that has had Peachey, Luke, Kenny, Cogger, Salmon, Garner, Hoskings etc. Play a fairly large chunk of the season has just won a minor premiership.

Penrith shows what happens when you invest in pathways and not try to buy a premiership

Kenny will play SOO in the next two years…

I hope you Panthers fans appreciate what you've got... you're in rarefied air.

Losing Critta next year hurts. f**k me he has been good, both sides of the ball. The bloke is a freak.

Yeah, alot of us have been around for the dark years. Never imagined a period like this, I'll savour it for as long as it lasts.

That’s an interesting self description …

 

[blue bags]

Dragons won MP 17 times

If I could describe the past three or so years, it has been a numbing surreal experience to which I'm yet to wake up from.

 

[lockyno1]

Just looked at the live ladder, the F/A of the top 5 teams against the bottom five is horrendous...

Such a big divide

The fact the sharks are 6th is a farce and take out Newcastle flogging the Dogs twice and we’ll..

 

[Panther Mike]

It’s a quality achievement to finish top of the NRL ladder again. Especially since Penrith started the season slow with 4 wins and 4 losses and oppositions fans and players thought that there were ‘cracks in the windscreen’. However after that 14 wins from our last 16 games sees up pip the Broncos to the minor premiership on differential. Need to go on with it from here but it is always pleasing to be top of the ladder.
