Were we gone in your opinion,

[Hamstring awareness]

Absolutely. After the 3rd Mam try I was just hoping the scoreline wouldn’t get embarrassing.

 

[Wizardman]

I heard a heap of Panther fans left the ground early.

 

[mxlegend99]

I was feeling fine thinking we would go to a new level when Mam crossed for his second try. Then he crossed for his third and I was thinking yep. We're done. Momentum is against us and this score could become anything.

In a regular season match I wouldnt have thought we were out of it and could come back. Seen it before a bunch of times. But in a grand final I thought there's no way a team surrenders a 16 point lead.

I didn't think we'd get the ball back after his third.

Brisbane were just rolling down field and shredding the defence every touch.

Critter getting to the loose ball saved the game.

 

[Dodgy]

Technically, no. But I was in the process of accepting defeat and rationalising it. So much so that I was distracted and missed the Cleary line break and was shocked to notice Leota scoring his try.

Bizarrely, I was more confident overcoming the Storm after the Papenhuyzen try than last night.

 

[CCJohnC]

Yes could not watch especially Ch 9 any more. Switched to 'Everybody Loves Raymond' came back to check score and Leota scored stayed to the end. Wow!!!!! Should have been confident we were ahead at HT.

 

[pantherpuddy]

I knew we wouldn't give up and thought if we could get 1 try the broncos might tire badly at the end. I hadn't given up but it wasn't looking good.
I don't even know what I was thinking in that 2nd half.
It was a shock to see us opened up with those tries !

 

[Blues Riff]

Yep, watching in the cave, at 24-8 I turned the sound off and started polishing the Cruiser. Now I have a half shiny bullbar.

 

[Iamback]

I heard a heap of Panther fans left the ground early.

I wouldn't say a heap, most bays were filled at the end and the noise when Cleary scored was so loud

 

[hindy111]

Many turning points. Id have to rematch. I do recall just before halftime when Spencer gave a silly penalty telling my mate if the Broncos score this is a turning point in the game. Penrith should be 20-0 by now with so much ball and so many Brisbane errors. At 8-6 I felt Brisbane had all the momentum and couldn't play that poorly in the 2nd half. Penriths attack was diabolical.

Leota and JFH where amazing. Did Brisbane score any points while they where on the field?

Yes, Leota came back on before Mam's 2nd try. Fish before the Mam's 3rd try.

Thats what she said

 

[Thirsty Panther]

My son and I were at the game.
After Mams 3rd try we were picking who we thought would get the Clive Churchill medal.
We both agreed that Mam should get it.
Then Moses scored.

 

[The yak]

Turned it off 24-8. Then couldn't resist and kept checking the score. I was back when Moses scored.

 

[Sime_11]

100% gone, we were talking that Brisbane could score 40+ with the momentum.

then the sweet Prince just pulled off the GOAT GF comebacks - just pinching myself that it’s real, I’m still shocked 24 hrs on

 

[BossleyPanther]

I posted Game over in game thread, but Crichton Scored after and changed my mind.

 

[Pjf04b]

At 24-8 at the game my wife said the run was over and they couldn't come back. I told they could. They just needed something to go their way. A couple of minutes later Moses scored and the comeback was on!!

 

[soc123_au]

Just checked my texts with a mate from during the game.

Mams first try

Not concerned yet, all good

2nd Try

Shit, need to wake up and defend

3rd Try

f**k f**k FUUUUUUCK
Still time, but we need to snap out of this

Leota try

I love Leota, how was he even there? Need another quick

Critta Try

We've got this, Broncs will be shitting bricks

Cleary Try

Unbelievable, we have witnessed greatness. Gotta hang on for just a few minutes

There’s opposition momentum, then there’s the 3 tries in 10 mins, with Yeo, Luai and Sorensen on the bench type of momentum. How we even got a sniff I’ll never know. They looked that slick.

Critta getting that loose ball and giving it to Leota to get extra metres took away their momentum. No surprise those 2 names pop up in such a scenario.
