I'm not a big league guy, but I'm looking forward to this. It's farking hot here in Sydders today today, probably still be in the 30's for the game apparently. Last 20 minutes will see some pretty tired lads.

Fitter never struck me as being "cerebral" enough to be a coach. He may have matured but he was essentially a very laid back bogan who lucked out in the talent department (first grade at 17) and was happy to coast on that.

I always considered it a real shame that Peter Sterling never became a coach. Maybe the fact he never gave it a shot is a reflection on him not having the stones? Or maybe the Channe 9 gig is so sweet he'd have been made to give it up.

Re Sterlo: Why take on the pressure?

For sure. He's had the best life. It's just a shame that we never got to see what he could bring as a coach.

My care factor for this took a huge drop from the time of that uncalled blatant forward pass last week. 😉

Will probably have it on while arguing with fools like us on the internet.

I also saw some Kiwis discussion that has pissed me off. DWZ has gone to Tonga. Fuck him and his stupid 1980s hori haircut. We also have no hooker as Smith and Marshall King are injured, that blond dude from Newcastle who is apparently a Kiwi is also injured, and guys that could fill in like Kodi Nikorima and Te Maire Martin are unavailable.

The opening 18 minutes has been played at a hell of a pace.
Broncos too many errors so only fitting that Penrith get the first try off yet another error.

Come on Broncos!

Despite the fact they'e getting through most of their sets the Panthers handling has been average, lots of inaccurate passes.

Herbie should have just caught that ball.

Gunner

Ref forgot his whistle.

There’s been a few things ignored that would normally be penalised any other week of the year.

booboo

That first try reminds me of the ghost chip ads. Like "Monique sez your dumb"

Fucking Penrith do not make errors

They’re immune to being penalised too, by the looks of things.

The level of cringe is off the charts.

What a beauty try!!!

C’mon Broncos!

booboo

Broncos score "A Grand Final Try"!

Broncos starting to run Penrith around a bit. A bit like they did to us

Looking dangerous every time they go wide.

Gunner

Oh wow, Broncos carving up.

How good is this Mam fulla!!!

canefan

Consolation for the Warriors is that they can't stop them either

Penrith defending like Italy.

Or are Brisbane just that good? Mam a couple of yards faster than his defenders

canefan

This is starting to look like a repeat of the SF

Nah. Penrith look out on their feet. Can't keep a line and none of them can make a dominant tackle.
