Will Ice have to play front row as he will not replace Yeo at lock or Martin, Sorensen or Garner in the Second Row.
Dropped a bomb they’d normally diffuse - is that a different way of saying Panthers kick chase was fantastic

Cleary carried & won the Panthers the GF last year, wasn’t even close support class. Against the Storm he had a busted hand and shoulder still made 30 tackles and 200+ mtrs - didn’t at all shrug away from his ask.
Hate Cleary all you like but he is one hell of a player & has lifted when his club needed him the most.
If he retired tomorrow 100% he would at some stage enter the HOF. That’s crazy to say for a 26yr old who is only halfway through with still 8yrs+ potentially to go on his career.
Doubt it
Talagi and Ice will replace those leaving
They seem to be able to replace leaving players very easily
5 in a row would not surprise anyone

I think 4 in a row gives them bragging rights, doesn’t it ?

Agree about entertainment but intensity of the game and closeness of the scores did it for me.

EXCLUSIVE - First image of the Bunker footage showing that the ball didn't reach the ground:
On a serious note why wouldn't they have shown the real footage to the public if they were able to show the footage to the media?

Considering they are trying to market the game as a glamour sport by opening the season in Vegas now, I’m not sure why they haven’t gone all out in trying to lure a big name act from overseas for the pre game entertainment. They are better off having no entertainment than the junk they currently trot out.

Not only that. Turuva didn’t ground the ball for his try.

Yes I think he will, and he’ll kill it.

Interesting that Munster wasn’t charged after the biting allegation.
I thought he would have to argue his case.

Yeah, Joey got everyone into a frenzy by crying out he 100% saw the ball touch the ground.

Sure does.
Even though the Parra team was incredible and the greats of the green machine cannot be denied; statistically speaking 5 Grand finals in a row, winning 4 puts them in the discussion of greatest teams of all-time, let alone modern era.
A dodgy call aside, they were the better team yesterday. Hugely impressive win.
Remarkable achievement.
Still hate Cleary but 😊

I'm in Adelaide and maybe the Channel 9 coverage showed that where you come from - but over here there was no vision of the footage that the bunker used to make their ruling. It was only after the game when Danika Mason tried to assure viewers that the media had been shown the bunker footage which "clearly" showed that the ball did not make contact - in other words: "nothing to see here".

Funny about Penrith to that they could've won their first (losing GF) and at least have been forced into ET against Souths, lost against the Broncos and lost last night.
Only the Parramatta win was emphatic.

He’s not at all my thing musically, but The Kid Laroi is probably the most famous/recognised Aussie artist around at the moment, including in the USA. Not bad for a guy from Redfern.
(Cue boomers “well I’ve never heard of him!!!!?!”)
The pre-game entertainment has NEVER been good. It’s tradition at this point.

Garner is not rated highly there. They shopped him this year and brought back a hobbled second rower to play big minutes ahead of him. He’s a cheap player who is first to be moved for other options.
Next year they’ll have Papali’i and Martin on the edges with Yeo at lock. Sorensen may move into the middle rotation or just have an impact role off the pine. Garner will again be a back up.
Congratulations to the bloke for the two rings, he’s played the role of fill-in with aplomb.

Mass hysteria caused by Joey. He was a far better player than he is commentator.from 2:40. Its very clear he never gets it down and you can actually see the shot that the still that is all over socials. His arm is under the ball the whole time.
