You can't be losing 26 nil in a game and be the better team!I know they lost, but I think the Panthers played better. Melbourne definitely got the rub of the green in this match, but they didn't play for the entire 80s mins like Penrith did, and a lot of Melbourne's tries were purely out of luck/Penrith errors. When the Panthers applied the pressure, Melbourne paid the price, but the Panthers line defense was great.
This. The scoreboard is there fore all to see. Melbourne made their own luck and opportunities. That's what top teams do. As someone said above, Melbourne were far batter in key moments.You can't be losing 26 nil in a game and be the better team!
Penrith were garbage and only came into the game on the back of the ref. Two storm trys..Olam and Cam Smith, were lucky but not dodgy. After Papanhuyzrn scored, Panthers got the dodgiest call of the night - the shepherd try. I don't know anyone who thought that was a try. Panthers were getting 6 again nearly every set. Cleary had a poor game. Api didn't do much and storm forwards dominated.
True that, I hate seeing them in GF's. It's always Melbourne or Roosters in GF over the last 2 decades except for the odd occasion.Melbourne were way better, but it was a shit GF. Grand finals involving the Storm are always shit to watch
It's impossible not to. Even when it's on mute.Is this even a question? Did you not hear Gus during the broadcast?!!
While this is true, melbourne capitalised every time penrif made their mistakes. They were the better team. Penrif were unluck though, ill give them that.I know they lost, but I think the Panthers played better.

True! Except when they defeated Parra in the 09 GFMelbourne were way better, but it was a shit GF. Grand finals involving the Storm are always shit to watch
