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

[Babyface O'reilly]

Penrith fans with Jimmy Beam cans lol. Love it

Penrith are now better than Souths, 67-71, Parra 81-83. Better than the Broncos of the 90’s who were no where near under the salary cap.

Someone should tell Israel that Hamas is hiding in Penrith

 

[Fangs]

Another win for the people's team

We are the team of the people.

We've only got one hospital mate they aren't interested.

 

[Apey]

Why? We would have won anyway

honey you sook when indisputably correct calls go against Panther

 

[Wb1234]

All this sooking

Penrith as usual dominated possession

Hughes had his worst game of the year

They played their grand final last week

They will be better for the loss next year

We are the team of the people.

If Storm follow the script and don't make the 8 next year, like Souffs, Parra and Bronx did then everyone will bow to our greatness

Brilliant game from the whole team. Similar to 2021 (but for different reasons); just did enough to win the game playing within ourselves.

Ivan’s game plan a master-stroke. That first half tired out the Storm’s middle so much that they couldn’t offer much in the second half.

Back five were brilliant; expect that from Edwards and the wingers but Tago has been under pressure this year and Alamoti’s first GF.

Yeo and Martin were both brilliant. One of them or Alimoti would have been my picks for CCM, so glad Martin got it.

Souffs made the eight.

Latrell gave up in the prelim because Leota tackled him too hard.

Rupert is a man of the people.

Luai taking one last look at Accor on GF day

Couldn’t agree more. He will get the Tigpies off the bottom of the ladder, maybe even into the top eight, but the struggle from then on will be real.

Penrith IMO played the 2022 GF game plan.

Just that Melbourne 2024 are a better side than Parra 2022 and had some amazing scramble rather than rolling over.

When Penrith have been able to grind Harry has always been the target. Last year Spencer left stud marks all over him in the prelim. I know he's the captain but Bellamy really f**ked up letting him be on the field to make that many tackles.

Wishart coming on so early was also a weird move.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Imho the killing and maiming of all of the innocent people in the conflict is bad.

It’s appropriate that we spare a thought for them on this happy occasion.

 

[soc123_au]

I love you buddy but nothing in this post is correct.

Panthers back 3 and forwards were the difference not Ivan.

They executed it perfectly. The plan seemed to be to go harder at Harry than SLR and it got it done.

Cant believe I got to witness something like this really. I'd rate it higher than my first root. This has also lasted somewhat longer than that did to be fair.

Munster doing dog shit in a big game when he knows the game is lost

Centrebet won't take a 100% certainty.

 

[Exsilium]

Why can’t we just enjoy seeing such a historical moment in the sport?

I was okay with losing but both sides are the best of this modern era. Hands down.

So chatting to mate pregame said that he saw a couple of very very prominent Storm players having beers and playing the pokies on Friday night …. Bet you can’t pick who they were ….
