That result could easily have gone either way. Tui drop over the line was the difference.

What a final. It felt like Paps was gonna win it for Storm but Reece lightning stepped up and played like Hayne in 2009. Even better with those silky cutout passes. What a machine.
Took someone’s advice on here and turned sound off and listened to SEN coverage. It was OK but the best part is you don’t have to listen to Gould, Johns, Fittler, Slater, Smith and Thurston. That’s gold.
Walsh scoring when he should have been in the bin was the difference.

I actually like what slater says. Doesn’t seem comment on what has been in the media about players as much as others do .
It varied between terrible and horendous however the one redeeming feature of it was i didnt have to listen to Ginane or Cronk.

I’m not sure either but I’m sure someone on here said that he would be
They peaked at the perfect time.
To be behind Penrith and Melbourne by 10plus at halftime and keep them scoreless in the second half and overcome the deficit - impressive.
Their finals series performances against arguably the three best teams in the comp were stand up. It will be interesting how they back up next season.

They weren’t in the eight in June.
They were outside the top four in August.
They were 28-12 down with 15 to go in the qualifying final.
They trailed 14-0 at half time in the prelim.
They were 22-12 down at half time of the grand final.
They lost Ben Hunt and Adam Reynolds in the second half.
But these Broncos BELIEVED.

Well, he must have done a great job if nobody noticed he was there?

Not so hard to believe when you have the strongest squad in the NRL. Walsh, Staggs, Carrigan, Haas, Shibasaki, Mam, Hunt, Reyno ...

Hard not to go with it imo?
Belief in the coaching tactics and each other that a very tough preseason gave them a GF win, they’ll happily do it again. They’re a top 4 team next season if they keep the wheels on?
Definitely have the cattle and expect them to be there abouts.

Tui didn’t score the try because of the determination of the broncos FB to be at the right place at precisely the right time, and execute the right tackle. If Tui wanted to improve his chances of scoring he tucks the ball to his chest and drops to the ground. This level of missed opportunities happens in every game, but I agree it was very close to being a try.
