2024 GF | PREMIERS - Penrith 14-6 Melbourne @ Accor

[speedster]

1 win and 8 or so losses including a 50 point drubbing against Penrith when he has played fullback. The one win was off some very arsey hail mary plays in the final few minutes.

Unlike an arsey intercept...

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Must have been injured in the other six games against Penrith he dogged it at the back in a Souths jersey.

His most common injury is indigestion.

Cody is just a hopeless merkin

Latrell Mitchell leads the Rabbitohs to last-gasp victory over Panthers​

1 win from nine attempts. What a stud, Luke Brooks has a better strike rate against us.

Anyway @speedster has his bag limit so I guess thats one win this decade.

It's a team game mate. This is the Panthers dynasty and well done but no one has a great strike against you lot.

I maintain Souths would have been better off with Mitchell in the GF side at fullback than not. His positives outweigh his negatives.

Boooo!

 

[Perth Red]

Storm to open up a 16 point lead before Panthers come back but fall short. Storm by 4.

Cody is just a hopeless merkin

Scored a ripper of a solo try though that day. Pushed off a halfback to get through so I guess it doesn't carry that much merit.

Interesting video analysis by Tamana Tahu on ‘Over the Black Dot’ last night.
Penrith spine (Cleary, Yeo, Edwards, Luai) play quite deep off each other, while the Storm spine (Hughes, Papenhuyzen, Munster, Grant) tends to play very flat at the line with more lateral passing.

Timana must watch the games. Not hard to see how they both attack.

I'll get you Wayne's number and you can lecture him about it. Cool.

I am assuming that Wayne is trying to get rid of Latrell after his hatchet man (Creepy Crawley) went to town on him on 360 a few weeks ago.

Tigers might get him after all…

Anyone give a toss about this year's GF or is the Mitchell hate more important?

5th GF in a row. We have done the reps and have learnt how to pace ourselves over a long and arduous week. Through Wednesday you can be a bit light and frivolous as long as you have got the key preparation done (food, drink, location etc).

It’s not till you get to Friday (even Saturday for some of the real pros like @soc123_au, @Fangs and @Munky) that you need to start tuning yourself in mentally for the game. Go too early and you might burn out.

If you are struggling and I am sure some of the senior panthers supporters would be happy to share their wisdom; they realise that the privileged position we hold in the league is a responsibility as much as a gift.

 

[Fangs]

Its really about soaking up everything. You don't get to experience this very often.

I don't like to plan much in the schedule. Sleep in if I can. Maybe a light brunch for a change or a 6 pack of Coopers sparkling for lunch. Passing out on your lounge room carpet late Wednesday evening and missing most of Thursday is a good way to speed up the clock to the weekend if you are a bit anxious.

Friday is of course the important day. Remember its a long weekend so Monday is designated for recovery. I apply electrodes to my temple so I can be gently zapped awake in case I sleep through the comforting growl of Panthers alarm clock. Best you prepare early and buy your food/drinks so you don't have to leave the house for a few days.

Not at all smug. Good to see. [cough]

 

[Sans Souci Saint]

Don't be shy, tell these penrith fans how it is.

I give penrith a punchers chance if Cleary has an all timer but even that probably won't be enough.

 

[Blues Riff]

Storms are really good.
Hope we beat them.
Either way, I think the "5 year plan" can be considered a resounding success.

 

[Frankus]

I know its probably one of the least desirable games for the neutrals but for us Panthers or Storm fans - I'm sure we are all ecstatic to be in another decider. Hope it is a cracking contest. Here's hoping there is no tackle 1 HIA or send off.

 

[This Year?]

The DallyM curse has been set.
PENRITH all the way baby!

Even trying to ensure Butler isn't in the bunker for the GF. Never mind the fact the obstruction call was correct.

Ahem.

You were saying?
