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

[Diesel]

These interviews are cringy

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Penrith were better

Nah. Penrith were less shit.

Match quality was a real let down today. Lucky there wouldn’t have been many international viewers considering watchnrl was costing $46 for the Grand Final.

I can still remember falling out of my seat when Jared was walking towards the stage and they announced Simple Jack.

Sonny definitely had a good game as well in 2013, would have been happy with him winning it. Cherry was good for a Manly too but it’s tough giving it to a halfback in a losing effort.

2015 was a weird one, the entire second half was Brisbane defending their line and barely playing any footy at all. It worked until one freak play. If the Broncos held out then Thurston’s performance is remember as the mother of all bed grogans

I'm a big believer in giving it to someone from the winning team, let them and their fans have their moment.

Of the two against us that went to someone from the losing team, DCE was the weirdest as manly got beat 18-0 in the last 30 minutes. How you give it to a member of their team under that circumstance is beyond me.

In 2019 Jack arguably was the best player in the match but as we have discussed, there were two worthy recipients from the winning team. Then there is the infamous 2015 decision when Milford was the best example of when a losing player should have got it

Anyways, at least they are back in track since 2020.

Interesting to see if they can replace their loses for next season

This whole final series has been crap.. besides 1 maybe 2 games

I'll back our guys forever but I really hope we see some other clubs bring the intensity next year. Raiders and Sea Eagles in particular are capable if they want it enough.

Oof - Sportsbet have come out with Raiders at $81

I feel sorry for every Storm supporter that spent hard earned on flights, hotels etc to be shafted by a bullshit bunker call.
You are now official rugby league supporters.

Honestly the one thing I regret the most about that result is Bellyache will think he has something to prove and will continue to coach.

If Melbourne had won it, I am beyond convinced he would have announced his retirement within weeks.

He looked devastated post match. Another victim of the Dally Ms

Great day of watching footy. Enjoyed every game, especially the GF. Enjoyed watching the storm lose. Enjoyed Fish and Luai going out winners. Enjoyed their CCM choice.

And I especially enjoyed the massive sook from @Dragon Slayer Keep up the great work mate. Your tears nourish me in ways you can’t imagine.

Why?
The NRL lacks coaches of his expertise and success.
He should never feel as if he's failed.

 

[Iamback]

Another win for the people's team

 

[Munky]

Looked a try so that was weird.

But Klown gave them six straight sets to make up for it.

 

[Iamback]

Yes the no try was a big call but plenty of dud calls also in the game.

Expect nothing else from Klein

2026 a chance honestly.

Ricky cops shit, much of it fair. But they really do have some great stuff happening there. I rate the younger players highly.

And Brisbane. 2024 was an aberration Madge will have them back in the 4.

 

[Perth Red]

Whilst the vr totally screwed this and a Storm 12-10 lead makes it a possible different second half II’m not overly upset at the sht decision. Penrith dominated and were the better team. They deserved the win, VR corruption or not.

 

[wittyfan]

There's been talk for years that the Bunker will cost a team a premiership and now it's finally happened.

So disappointing.

Ahh hmm.
