No1 - 2.2yr

Either Penrith have an extra player,.or Melbourne are short a player. Because Penrith have had 3 winger tries virtually untouched.

Panthers get a penalty literally every set in their own half, and a 6 again every time they’re in the other half. It’s ridiculous.

Having said that, the storm are their own worst enemies. They throw so many stupid forward passes, and push so many passes that they don’t need to that end in a handover.

Panthers will hit 40.

Storm desperately trying to slow down the play the ball. They do it every time they play. Wrestling, flopping 3 players on top.

Didn't take long for the Panthers to score. Melbourne giving away penalties and giving away field position...

Grand final here we come!!!! 🥳 🥳

Definitely need to be better against the panthers. Goal line defence was terrible in the first half.

Another great game by Billy. He has really stepped up the back half of the season. Walsh is just electric, but he is going to have to watch those intercepts because Crichton will be all over them.

Yeah, gg Broncos.

Agree with everything you said above. It was like the Broncos thought "Well, this is pretty easy" and relaxed and got a bit sloppy.

I also hope they throw the footy around and don't tighten up too much on the big occasion. I'd love to see a high scoring shootout instead of a 6-4 slugfest.

Nathan Cleary cleared of possible hand injury.

I wonder if he injured his hand by stroking his enormous chin?

Melbourne are only good when Nelson is on the field

Lindsay Collins awarded the Jack Gibson medal for Roosters' player of the year. Well deserved, and the only Rooster that could even be mentioned as possible member of a team of the year - and I think other props deserve that anyways.

Siua Wong won the Harry Phipps Rising Star and NSW Cup Player of the Year Awards. He looks good. Hard to believe he's only 20.

Was wondering how the Storm would score, and just stroll over
