2024 Grand Final

[Demps]

the optics in that arnt good !
I have no doubt that grant wouldn’t have done his best to give impartial decisions , but seriously what’s he doing there ? He should never ref a Penrith game in any capacity ever . If only because of the illusion that he’s biased .
And people could argue unconscious bias as well .
I honestly feel like since amnesty and Sutton have been running the show this has gotten way worse .
The nrl needs a bit of a clean out of its ref ranks imho .

I saw it mentioned somewhere he married Ivan's sister but I cannot find any evidence anywhere to confirm this.

His father played for Parramatta though.
He is a disgraceful ref imo and the Howarth try was a try and it was the moment that ruined the game for me.

He was excellent ey

Mate his carries at times when Melbourne were getting some momentum got them out of trouble. I thought he was incredible.

You’d have to be privately fuming if you were Ice. Seems likely they will come back to the pack a touch next year….You’d think?

Im a unashamably a NSW & TIGERS supporter but cleary is the BIGGEST PRETENDER in the modern game! Have a look at hin HIDING on the wing in defense in the GF. Andrew John NEVER shirked his defensive load in the middle. cleary is NOT & NEVER will be Andrew Johns a##holes ameba!

Seriously? You know his shoulder was at about 30%

 

[Champ1]

I think he was injured.
He avoided defence all night.

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.

Thanks IVAN for your Bullsh#T imput! He must of had a shoulder injury for most of his career that effects his throat cause he always CHOKES at the big moments & everyone bails him out!

All the Storm had in the second half was mid field bomb after mid field bomb. Howarth’s no try was the biggest GF clinger since the 6 again call/no call

Cleary is a fantastic player albeit incredibly unlikeable.

4 in a row, despite the bunker nonsense is something special.

Maybe Penriths decline will begin next year but Cleary Jnr has been a powerhouse for many years.

Lol we did the same with Benji

Great grand final. Both sides gave it everything.
massive congrats to Penrith, Ivan out coached Bellamy on this one. The tactics wore Melbourne down.
Penrith are an absolute phenomenon. Amazing football team. Amazing culture and amazing club. We could only dream….

Would so much love to have a Liam Martin in a WT jumper

Joey Manu used to be on my wish list - now it’s Liam Martin

Has been a cog in a well drilled machine. Put him in any other team & his supposed super powers will disappear.

True, but no one suggested that Benj was the greatest player ever. cleary a great kick of the ball....nothing else.

Jealousy is a stinky cologne.

😂😂😂
Ole champ - full of sqwark this year when Cleary is obviously playing injured…

where was he last year when Cleary won the game on his own?

 

[bigsiro]

All the Storm had in the second half was mid field bomb after mid field bomb. Howarth’s no try was the biggest GF clinger since the 6 again call/no call

Exactly my thoughts

 

[Tucker]

True, but no one suggested that Benj was the greatest player ever. cleary a great kick of the ball....nothing else.

He took 28 runs for 205m and made 31 tackles with a busted shoulder and hand.
You are talking absolute shit.

HA HA not jealousy Tucks, just the truth.But by all means man , go support the penrith myth if you feel inclined.🙂
