Different refereing standards applied for finals again.
Short 10 meters.
May should've went whole game .
And Penrith should've been down to 12 again SH with their second high shot.

Unfortunately I have friends who follow Pawwa. ( don’t hold it against me)
I sent them a note tonight to let them know they have won as many 2022 finals games as my Wests Tigers😂😂😂😂😂.
Looks like straight sets next week. BA record in finals is 2 from 10. Pressure is a strange thing.

Once the eels forwards got spooked it was done and dusted.
Clearys idea to rest his players last week was a good one and we saw it pay the dividends in the second half.
Ominous.

Entitled to your opinion but disagree re football class. Good coaching and very good implementation tonight ( by the Clearys).

What's the bet Arthur plays Moses next week.

You don't seem to know what class means.
Penrith made quite a statement last night... They would come right back to the pack without Cleary 🤔
Just take him out 🔨🪓

Penrith way too good and on their way to back to back premierships.
Eels to go out in straight sets. A lot of their went missing when Panthers turned up the heat.

My thoughts:
1. Someone should have ragdolled May and asked him " wanna grab some more people? F*** u mate"
2. First half not to Finals standards, both teams were saving themselves for the last 20 it seems
3. Mitch Moses had a killer first 15 minutes until May got sin-binned. Then Mahoney hogged the ball and didn't give Moses a single good pass to attack May's end. I was honestly impressed by Mitchell's kicking and defensive game. In the second half, you could see that Brad Arthur had a chat with Mahoney to give him the ball when he wants. Still has a tendency to go missing until 5th tackle at time though.
4. Cleary... One of the best kicking displays I've seen for a while. It's freaky how in control he is.
5. Another quiet game for Papali'i standards, he's already starting to come down to WT levels tbh. Api was also pretty ineffective with his tackles.
6. The set play for To'o first try was pretty magical. It was actually the slow ball movement that got them. All the passes were loopy and going sideways. Haven't seen a set play like that before.
A bit of an anti-climax. Seems like it was safety first

Funny thing is that May is looking down the barrel of a suspension as well as his injury.
They are looking at 1 week if he takes the guilty plea or 2 weeks if he fights it and loses.
So what is the deal? Does he serve any suspension he gets during this finals series or does he serve it on top of the other 2 weeks he's got next season.
Unbelievable how the NRL just keep digging them selves a deeper hole all the time.

Until, in about 10 years time the players will sue the NRL for lack of care. Everyone wants it both ways.
Can't see who'd beat them.

I give collision sport another 20-30 years.
They'll beat themselves.
