Opinion Penrith

[chrisD]

Storm have been the best all season but I guess panthers deserve it in a Bradbury type finish

They were the best at running up scores against trash, and they won the prize you get for that.

Anyone else get Dragons 09/10 vibes from this team.

Hopefully we don't shit the bed halfway through 2022.

Actually I don't give a shit if we do.

Your coach would need to announce he's gone halfway through the season.

Only after saddling the club with shit long term contracts and no clear path for upcoming juniors.

PENRITH just need to do what the roosters do, once a player starts listening to their manager telling them they're worth overs - just say goodbye and sign then next best thing.

PENRITH.

That is all.

Did we just win Premiership scoring six tries in four finals games playing Vlandys ball?

The other fifteen teams should be ashamed of themselves.

Well done Penrith. Fully deserved winning, what Gus Gould must admit is, a weak comp.

Nah, that's rubbish. No asterisk here. The bottom 14 or so teams might be weak but Penrith beat three very good sides three weeks in a row to win the comp. Apparently 'Vlandys ball' makes it easy to score points, yet Penrith conceded 4 tries in three sudden-death games in the most intense of games. Everyone had Melbourne locked in 2 weeks out, yet Penrith are the fully deserved, without any * champions.

I just remember Gus Gould decried the sharks premiership as a weak comp much to my surprise, so this would definitely be one in his eyes

Take no notice of Gus Gould. Great at setting up systems, but sh!t at commentating on the game.

At least you guys did it the hard way and beat Melb. Well done.

Congrats to all the fantastic Panthers fans on here.

Commiserations to the great bunnies fans.

@The_Frog @GongPanther @Rabbits20 you can all still get f**ked.

Why thank you SB!

Penrith are a great club.

First game of Rugby League I ever watched was the 1991 Grand Final, so I thought they were dominant from the get-go. Was surprised to then learn that they were battlers and that, to me, is more endearing.

Loved 2003, but they kind of rose and then fell so quick.

There's just something special about them right now. It's fitting that they won last night. I know that To'o, Luai and Crichton are polarising, but I love them. I love seeing a club with such a strong connection to their community and so many juniors winning. Obviously, as a Warriors fan, I am happy for Ivan. So yeah, if my club can't win, happy for Penrith to win.

 

[Walpole]

Well done Penrith. There were really only three teams in it all year and you beat the other two in consecutive weeks so well deserved.

 

[age.s]

I still don't understand how Too can be polarising.

Great post.

Hats off to Nathan Cleary.

Has given the NSW Origin side leadership and direction and turned it into a winning one after the long losing Pearce era.

Leads Penrith to a competition win. Premiers!!!

Wins the Clive Churchill - carrying a bung shoulder.

f**king legend!

All at the age of 23.

I agree they deserved it but as an aside Vlandysball largely disappeared in the finals. 6 agains mostly got shelved and the ruck/10m were a mess.

I really don't like going there, but its hard to think of any other possibility.

 

[Ghostface Killah]

Congratulations to all the Penrith fans.

Great feeling, experienced it in 2010.

Well won, and great to shake the monkey after last year.

Enjoy, you smug merkins.

Best yardage man in the game.

Every club would want him.

Was an integral part of their season and Premiership.

Did it on one leg.

Another Penrith legend!
