NRL NRL 2023 - Grand Final Penrith vs Brisbane

[Around the Wicket]

Not too sure this counts as a "we blew it" scenario to me. 2015 was probably worse in a odd way

16 up with 24 minutes left is blowing it imo lol.

What a ******* heist wow.

Would be like an AFL side winning a grand final after being 5 goals down at 3qt.

With 1 player kicking 5 in the last including the match winner

 

[Pancakes]

Penrith blew the 2020 grand final, too panicky. They couldve had four in a row

Probably needed that loss to really consolidate the group and do what they have done.

16 up with 24 minutes left is blowing it imo lol.

Was any of the 18 scored really from anything but great play from the opposition though?

TO me blowing it is more about poor effort, mistakes, a bit of a change in coaching tactics that go south. None of that happened really. Penrith just got a run on and executed well

That's the best NRL Grand Final I've ever seen.

Clearly elevates himself to legendary status in the NRL.

I can't believe the momentum swing, it was Brisbane's premiership you almost could have carved the trophy, then 20 minutes later it wasn't. Phenomenal.

Broncos should have tried for a field goal when they were 16 points up.

Yep, and i said it pre-gane tonight, sometimes/often you need to lose one to win one. Broncos will learn if they get back to the GF with this squad

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

As others have said, it was a game left to its own devices. No biased cheerleading, no umpires making it about them, actual fans at the game as opposed to Gil/Albo taking selfies while the contest is on. You dont get 4 weeks talk about some douchebag US band no one gives a ****ing crap about and what songs they will sing because the atmosphere lives within itself

Overall NRL GF week especially as a neutral just turds all over AFLs year in year out

Ahh yes... finally get to hear from Mick Fanning

Balmain - Canberra in 89 still the best IMO.

Dont think its that doom or gloom for Brisbane. If we are fair dinkum the Broncos window is atleast another 3 years in it

I want a Panthers player to a Chris Heighington and drop a stack of F-bombs during an interview.

 

[Iceman!]

Drunk Mick Fanning figuratively deep throating Nathan Cleary on live tv might be the greatest thing i have ever seen.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Found Brisbane's problem

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Found Brisbane's problem

?

Dutton is a Collingwood member ?

 

[windyhill]

Statue incoming for N. Cleary.

I wasn't alive so can't comment,

But this is the best I've seen in my lifetime.

Can imagine it looking like the Beckham/Corden prank below

I'd have to go back and rewatch it to give a accurate account but from memory all 3 big plays come from a set following a Broncos error or sloppy handover.

Handover attacking when 16 up throwing 1000 offloads.

Out on the full drop out.

Knock on by Carrigan around half way when up by 4.

?

Nah Brisbane Lions

You really are showing yourself up that you have no idea about anything.

A field goal at 24-8 would have been useless for the Broncos. A field goal at 26-8 would have been useful for them though.

I'm assuming he means a 2 point field goal

I look at it more like

Clearys 40/20, Crichton and co getting restart in the sets out of nowhere, Cleary splitting Broncos open and the like as the mo,ents

Broncos made a few small mistakes but nothing that was too glaring other then the 2 out on the fulls which were definetly mistakes

A 2 point field goal. Don't you know about that? How long have you been following league?
