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

[GongPanther]

I want Wayne Bennett to coach Newtown for the day just so the ground announcer can play “Benny and the Jets”

lol!

 

[GongPanther]

Surely Penrith don't wear f**king pink in a gf

Magenta. I'm used to it.

 

[GongPanther]

It is true sadly

I can picture it now, pissed up footie supporters in homes, clubs and clubs will have undecided women going for the Panthers cause of pink. lol!

 

[GongPanther]

At least we don't have to listen to Blocker, Cronk or Ennis as co-commentators on Fox and can sit back and enjoy the channel 9 commentary team of.....

Oh f$%k, we're screwed. My mute button better be working on Sunday.

From the start of the game, record the match. Put on ABC grandstand beforehand to listen to the game. During the match, and you'll find that this is trial and error so don't get flustered, and pause the channel nine game until the radio call catches up and syncs to nine's broadcast.

I pause during a play the ball and wait for the call to catch up, although the radio callers are never on song with what is actually happening like Roy & HG used to do years ago.

But whatever you do, don't stop recording nine's coverage at halftime as you will lose the sync.

 

[Fangs]

Learnt behaviour…

Like my dog at 5pm, I started drooling after our prelim win.

Yes I started feeling it in my bones about this time of year.

 

[GongPanther]

I feel similar to this tbh. I'm confident we can get it done, but wont be looking for a bridge if we don't.

I'm unusually calm with no anxious feelings at all. We win the double hat-trick, so be it. If not, congrats to the Storm and well done, and hope its a grand game. But yea, no pre-match nerves like the past four grand finals.

 

[Saxon]

You just get the feeling Penrith will win this one.

No. I don't.

But then I'm not delusional.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Magenta. I'm used to it.

Was magenta for a bit, but they've gone back to pink. I'm OK with it, not as if there's a choice. We kept the Storm to 6 points in pink in a PF after they'd broken every season scoring record,

Used to love Roy and HG calling games from the card table at the half way line ala Frank Hyde.

Thanks for your suggestion but involves far too much effort just to watch these average teams. I'll just suffer like the rest of humanity and watch on 9. At least the powers that be have shown us plebs some mercy and removed Gould.

 

[mxlegend99]

Non-Souths fans inventing the myth about NRL bias in FAVOUR of Souths is the greatest bias in the game. Laughable nonsense and sour grapes way back when. It's funny how people can only perceive bias via finger pointing but never their own. LOL!

The Souths bias is so strong that in a year where they didn't even make the finals they account for a good chunk of the Grand Final day thread.

I'll be honest though. I don't remember too much of the decisions that went their way in 2014. But no team in history has won without the referee helping them if you ask the fans of other clubs.

A lot of people I know play classical music with the TV on mute. It's amazing what the non distraction of commentators does to watching the game.

 

[Trifili13]

Is the Panther roar on loop considered classical music?

 

[GongPanther]

How dare the storm target a player in defence.

Storm would be risking in poking the bear with a stick.

 

[GongPanther]

These sliding doors moments are silly to talk about e.g. Walker's 2021 intercept. There was a stack of time left on the clock and they would have just gone on to win the game anyway if Walker's pass went through.

Take the hapless Eels earlier this year for example. Down by 14 and we score three tries in seven minutes. Not some miracle, we just did it because we can. And that is because we have...

Gears:

a toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of a driving mechanism (such as the engine of a vehicle) and the speed of the driven parts (the wheels).
"a racing bike with ten-speed gears"
"the penrith panthers have several gears available for use"

Will be no different on Sunday. They can win the game from any scenario.

Season 2020 was a strange one for us. How many times did the Panthers give 12-0, or 14-0 starts during the first half, only to come back from the dead and win them?

 

[THE CHAMP]

I'll be having a small bet on a draw. And lash out a little on a Storm win.
I reckon the Storm are specials. But not by many

Not last year.
It was all is.
Must have been at least 5 epic f**k ups.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Bronx did well to get back into it but Penrith really should have been up by 20 at halftime

I think we were still getting rid of the aids Hook gave us. Either that or just a young team learning how to play 80. Cost us in the final.

2018 was very much the same. Letting teams out to a lead and running them down. It became a bit of a joke to be honest. Fun for fans particularly neutrals as comebacks wins are always great to watch.

 

[Fangs]

No. I don't.

But then I'm not delusional.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

I haven't met an honest person today who thinks Melbourne will win the game. They might win on Sunday but that doesn't change how the people really feel deep down.

Damn! It’s just dawned on me that it’s on 9 not Kayo. It’s been getting me every year. Guess I need to go through the fun of getting 9Now login sorted
