2024 Grand Final

Our boys Luai and Turuva turned up when it mattered most. Hope they can pass that attitude on to WT.

I thought Storm would win but I was wrong. Panthers defence nullified their spine and backline. Must be good to support a team that can keep the opposition out when they have multiple tackles in their 20. I thought Yeo or Chin would get MoM, but Martin was good too.
 
Has been a cog in a well drilled machine. Put him in any other team & his supposed super powers will disappear.
I strongly disagree agree with your opinion. I think you have your ass-about-face, and I should know it’s in my name.
He’s a great footballer who would easily lift any team, (even ones like ours), who also knows how to play his part as one of the two main cogs in a well drilled team.
 
I'm hearing impaired but my son told me Luai said at the end when being interviewed "I'm just so happy right now, I know I'm never going to win this again".
Did anyone else hear that or is my son being a little turd?
 
Straight up, no...

I think cos he hasn't delivered in origin, some try and doubt.
I think the origin discussion has some merit - I also think the measuring stick is an almost impossible comparison….

They only recent reference is to a team that contained GI, JT, Slater, Smith and Cronk - even Locky before that…
All of them impossible to compare.

He’ll get there - Moses did…
and he’s no Cleary.

Yeo was a monster out there.
Next Kangaroo captain for mine.
 
True, but still isnt any Andrew Johns & never will be. Dosent have the heart. Prediction.... Penrith wont make the grand final next year cos Luia wont be there to cover his AS#! The whole cleary myth will be exposed next year, both with penrith & unfortunately NSW if we are stupid enough to pick the pretender at halfback.
without luai, fish I don't think Penrith make top 4 in 2025
cleary goes down no luai to carry the team

i agree Butty , but look at Brooksy this year. I dont believe he has done anything with Manly he didnt do with us. But the difference was he has better players around him & frankly when he stuffs up, they all cover for him . Unfortunately at the Tigs, we didnt have the quality around him . Cleary is the the same IMHO. Not a bad player , however doesnt have the ability to change the game like a Johns, Thurston or Lewis.

Rubbish. How many times does this kid have to prove himself?
He is their general. They all fall in line behind him.
