NRL 2022

I'm in some weird twilight zone shit. Watched a match last night and just clicked it was last fucking years game. For some reason I blanked on Penrith losing to the Storm in 2020. Fucking lol. I blame the kids... and a touch of old age.

In the good news column, I've got GF to watch tonight!

Was thinking about all the different nrl grand finals I’ve been to ,
Storm v st George
Storm v broncos
Storm v manly ( twice )
Storm v parra
Storm v bulldogs
Warriors v manly

And the parramatta fans clearly made the most noise , they were so loud

They have a very big passionate blue collar supporter base very similar to a Collingwood or a Richmond in the afl .

Anyone going today should be in for a treat .

Sheesh Penrith is cleaning up. They have some sort of program going on our west.

On my way to the stadium now after a couple of warm up beers at darling harbour

Could be way wrong, but can't help but feel the inclusion of Nathan Brown could harden Parra in the middle. They still need their halves to stand up obviously otherwise they will be easily beaten but at least selection wise I think this is good

@mariner4life enjoy it bro. The stadium and crowd look amazing on TV

Fisher-Harris lucky not to be penalised twice there - one late hit and one high

Good move by Panthers to get more numbers on the right side.

Papalii looks gassed

This looks over already. Panthers making easy yards against the Eels.

Atmosphere looks awesome.

Penrith are men versus boys here. Parra's defensive alignment is shit, but no worse than any other NRL side really.

Unrelenting stuff here from the Panthers.

Feels like the AFL final right now

Awesome half by the Panthers. Great attack.

18-0 may as well be 30-0 with the way the Panthers are defending and the lack of inroads from the Eels attack.

Eels lucky to only be behind by that much. They look tired and static in defence, far too predictable in attack. Penrith are the opposite.

Take a monumental half time speech to turn this around.

Yeah 21 tackles in opposition 20 to 0. That’s dominant.

Eels looked to finally make some inroads in last 2-3 mins but will need to score next to do anything. But it has been that one sided that it looks very unlikely

Is this going as expected?

Complete domination.

@MajorRage Yes it certainly is.

They got that totally wrong. Should have been a penalty
