Official GRAND FINAL 2021 - Discussion thread

Lost by 2 points in GF without LM and after being beaten by 50 twice during season.. You don’t believe in Wayne’s magic dust?

They put up a good effort. The loss of Mitchell forced a rethink of how the Bunnies played without him, and it caught a few teams out when their game plans were all about how to control Latrell. They thought Souths were a one man show, like Manly.

Does anyone know why TPJ didn't play?

 

[flamebouyant]

No denying he has been outstanding, but let’s not forget the only reason he got the opportunity was through injury.

Who cares why?! He still made the Dally M team of the year.

Have you been under a rock? MCL injury. Ruled himself out early in the week.

Shows how much of a dickhead Laundy is. Screamed in public for a release for Burton early, only for him to score a try and be one of Penrith’s best in its GF win.

At that stage of the season everyone wanted him released so what are you going on about

 

[Kung fu man]

The hangtime on his bombs and where Rabbit catch the ball is also important. He also had multiple kicks that lead to drop outs.

That's the plan high bombs because they move that defensive line up so well and most were coming down 5-10 out right where you want your opp starting a set

 

[Kung fu man]

Not denying it wasn’t the best game. I just think both teams deserve credit for great years.

I remember a lot lower score in a gf still good games

 

[Kung fu man]

Hope Burton, Naden and TPJ stay off the Bondi marching powder. If they really are proud Mt Druitt boys they should get on the shards instead.

Buttons from Dubbo

Worse for us.

He’s got his premiership, he’s going to take it a bit easy till the last year of his contract where is after the big pay rise.

I think quite the opposite. The amazing feeling of winning a Premiership will inspire him more

Brandy what a legend

I love listening to Brandy analyse footy. Other than Sterlo he’s my favourite.

Just a side, since I'm bored and its a public holiday and missus won't let me watch porn, thought I'd check up the rules around that charge down. Buggered if I could find anything that says a charge down (which counts as a 'touch') doesn't count as a touch if it goes out. Of course, there are so many fckng rules these days - could have missed it. Sort of ok with a ref fckng up occasionally but there's another 3 refs in the dutch oven bunker so surely one of them must have a moment off the drugs reason.

The Souths love fest from the Ch 9 commentators was a bit sickening. The way they praised the Bunnies at the end of the game, and consoled their fans for the loss was a contrast to how they talked about us after the Bunnies won the GF in 2014. That was just another Bunnies love fest. They were allowed to run on first, and have that bell rung- and the ref picked up the vibe of the day.

What is it with the untouchable Bunnies? Aren't you allowed to say anything good about their opponents?

Even Gould last night was cheering Souths on. Must have had a big falling out with Penrith.

Don't forget Gould is payed by channel 9.
Comentating is not what it was 10 years ago. Where the commentators had creative control over alot of what they said.
It is all scripted now. Similar to the WWE and NFL comentating

Edwards had a few foot fractures. He went well.

Injury. He stepped aside so as not to create any loss of fluidity in the team.....

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Lol at Tyrone Mays lost after the game, absolute grub and all those dirty fuck Panther grubs supporting him. Absolute grub team.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Also cheats

 

[dogluva]

What do theses two have in common........?
