When all is said and done, people won’t look at 2020 panthers and consider them an afterthought. They will examine their number of wins, the merits of their group and conclude they were a f**king good side. They only lost the grand final because their lying coach prepared them for a funeral.
They were a good side who choked like two dollar hookers to the least talented Melbourne squad in a decade. To call them one of the greatest ever is laughable.
Bittersweet seeing Harry play so well tonight. He probably would not have gotten the exposure to play origin if he played at Melbourne this year but would have been at the club who won the title. We’ll miss him as much as we did the turd when he left.
They were poor but NSW were still in the game due to Allen gifting a try, bombing a few others and then leaving his mates a man down when they were buggered. Horrible.
Fittler is arrogant picking so many players out of position. Lucky to be playing rebuilding and weak qld teams the last 2 years. This time he was up against an actual coach. And since my loyalty is to Tigers f**k all of them anyway. NSW former dominance was all thanks to Sirro, Tim Brasher and Elias. And now Qld thanks to Tiger Grant.
I thought Grant only had one year left at Melbourne? Technically he could sign with us for 2022 right? The fact of the matter is that Grant is a Melbourne Storm player. As much as it sucks, he may very well have ambitions to make the 9 jersey at Storm his own and start a new dynasty there. Whatever happens, I will always have a soft spot for that kid. He's got a long representative future ahead of him. Don't even need to wish him all the best I'm that confident he's going to kill it.
To lose an unlosable game like he did, Fittler will never be good enough to coach a WT's side At least he took us of the back page
SMH Nov 1 2020 "NSW coach Brad Fittler put a few noses out of joint at the Wests Tigers this week following his comments that he was "disillusioned" that the Tigers could not find a spot for a young Ryan Papenhuyzen at the club". The Irony Fittler not picking Papenhuyzen on the bench prob cost him the Origin series
Great teams perform under massive pressure on multiple occasions per year for multiple years - as do great players. You know that.
