That is just ludicrous. Channel 9 commentators losing their mind.

Never mind that not a single defender was impeded.

This is going to be a try

Hahahahhahahahaaa

Fuck this is funny. No material effect on the play and they want to be pedantic - then will claim Rugby has too many confusing laws

ACT Crusader

Despite the whole kick behind and dummy runner, that was a hell of a pick up and finish in the corner.

ACT Crusader

Listen to the whinging from Smith. Hughes changed his line ever so slightly but it was deliberate.

ACT Crusader

“This is brilliant from Luai” Gus Gould.

Luai makes regulation pass to the wing.

Panther come to play in the last 15 minutes.

Rubbish game.

Well done Storm

Smith still a grub

2 bullshit refereeing decisions made that game close

Fuck up Gus

Smith is the GOAT

Bellamy and Chieka should be a coaching duo.

One of those guys is a serial winner

Both of them are obviously great poker players.

Sutton is a shit ref.

NZ's feed has crapped out so I won't be bothering with the presentation. Watching old Warriors footage is hardly compelling viewing.

An entertaining game in the end. The coaches box was a big contrast in emotions. Cleary looked so clam while Bellamy was busy dropping f bombs and kicking chairs. 🙂

Sometime later today Gus will finally give up hope of a Panthers last minute comeback...

I’m really proud of my young Panthers team to come back from 26-0 down in a final shows guts and yes I know the bunker got one wrong, good old Storm showing all their experience slowing down the ruck and the play but fair play Congratulations to them outplayed us.

canefan

Ivan is doing a good job there. If the Warriors had given him a longterm deal Nathan would be playing for us.....

@Donsteppa "hold your breath. Hold your breath. Hold your breath..."

Wish he'd hold his, for a week!

Bellamy's brain explosion

mariner4life

Weird game. Close scoreline, crazy finish, but never really hit any heights.

In hindsight Melbourne won it with their goal line defense in the first half. They presented Penrith with a heap of opportunities, but continued to hold them out.

For all the shit they cop, i thought Bellamy and Smith spoke really well after the game. Tamou's speech wasn't bad either.

bayimports

@mariner4life I agree, hard to get excited as a spectacle as a neutral with one side so far in front for so long. Melbourne held their nerve on the big day, while Penrith panicked when behind and tried to play catch up football, even with plenty of time left.

Smith brilliant at controlling the game speed of his own team.

Both captains well spoken afterwards

Wonder if Gus if still on the mic in 2021 starts getting as one sided in his commentary about the warriors

Nepia

@mariner4life I actually think Tamou’s speech was the best despite the fact he’s a turncoat piston wristed gibbon.

Pretty average game with an exciting finish.

9 streaming wasn’t too bad aside from the bloody ads.

Pretty hard to be a one club man in league and earn enough? Didn't think you were a Panthers supporter?

Hahah, yeah, I don't care what club he plays for, I hope we revoke his passport (along with Judas Taumalolo's).

@Nepia you can't blame him for pretending to be Australian and ignoring that he's from Palmerston North

Judas.

Cheika has already beaten him to it as he was helping the Roosters this year.

Steve Hansen will help the NRL team the bulldogs next year.. didn't see that coming

View embedded content

Is he going to use his experience as a copper to keep the doggies out of the grasp of the po po?

@canefan is he going to try get Barrett to play twin playmakers....lame I know I couldn’t help myself

Very interesting in all seriousness the dogs have a lot of younger players so having Hansen with all his experience can only be good.

The Cheika midas touch, from Premiership to out in straight sets...

Ted is with the Warriors, or at least was last year - weird year.

Pretty sure they've both missed the actual guy you want out of the Cartel.

Cowboys close to signing Benji...

Offer of $150k for the season.

@ACT-Crusader Obviously didn't get an offer to join the fox sports team then....

Still Red vs blue but slightly less feral than the election?

Kicks off soon in front of a bloke and his dog as spectators

Siam

Apologies, a decent crowd . I probably know more names in the stands than in the Queensland team

westcoastie

on my god. everything in this game - "thats an Origin tackle", "thats an Origin try", "thats reward (a try) for back to back to back sets of 6 on defence" - fuck. its the same game as the final, as any international, its not any different for christ sake

Tim

NSW very committed to one out running in this half. Queensland doing much more with the ball. Good try.

If there was a drinking game for every time one of those happened, you'd die

raznomore

This is one of the most un-Origin games I’ve ever watched. It’s got about as much feeling as a city country game.

That said as an 8 year Queenslander I can say with all honestly I don’t know who the fuck any of you fluffybunnies are but fuck the nsw fluffybunnies right in the ass.
