Opinion Penrith

[Nealo 12]

Do you think Penrith can win the premiership from outside the top 4?

Why not?

 

[Nealo 12]

Rick James super freak

 

[Fangs]

Mmm Gears.

 

[ACTPanthers]

 

[Stinkfinger]

Finish top 4 and anything is possible, no team has won the premiership from outside the top 4 since the finals system was changed but it would be nice for someone other than Panthers, Storm or Roosters to win.

Bulldogs won from 6th in 1995, under the exact same system we have now.

Yeah they always like to say its from the NRL era (1998 onwards) so the Bulldogs feat isn't being counted. But we know.

This story was mentioned on 2MMM this morning.

After the kerfuffle over the Panthers trainer against the Titans, after the match Nathan Cleary was asked as part of a post match on ground interview what was the best sledge he'd ever heard when he was kicking for goal. He replied that it was "Hey Nathan, kick it with your chin".

Whoever yelled that out will be feeling awesome knowing that he heard it and it’s the highest ranked sledge.

You can almost taste it..

 

[Fangs]

2025 and still alive.

What a time to be a Rugby League fan. History is being witnessed.

 

[Pjf04b]

Apparently this is the first time ever Penrith has scored 30 or more in 4 consecutive matches.

2021:

Round 9: 48 nil over Sharks
Round 10: 48-12 over Titans
Round 11: 56-12 over Souths
Round 12: 30-4 over Bulldogs

Was shocked that was the only time other than now in last 5 years

 

[Pjf04b]

Sounds right, it was just something I heard.

I thought no way thats true and just went through our draw each season. We had a lot of runs of big wins but broken up with an ‘average win’.

Maybe we haven't even peaked yet.

 

[Someguy]

TAB now has panthers second favourites to win the comp. With the bulldogs and raiders wobbling and the Storm barely beating average teams you would think its Panthers premiership to lose from here

also loss of Herbie is significant for every other team in the 8, phins could beat anyone with him. 1 less variable that could have stopped the panthers

Only if Yeo is fit for the finals. He's the best player in the best side of all time.

The great man will get a well deserved rest leading in to the finals. It might mean we drop a few games which is fantastic. The world wants to see us win from outside the top 4 and it's only fair we oblige.
