Panthers should have started with Naden.

Great coaching by Bellamy.... every single Penrith players that’s a threat has been nullified tonight

Api, Cleary, Luai etc all quiet

Not really coaching errors, just young players making mistakes.

Lucky try.
I actually only like the obstruction rule when it actually obstructs the defence - and that play by Yeo did not. But it was technically an obstruction. 

I remember being flogged by the Broncos a few times.

Tyrone May.... the worst player on ground. Actually the worst selection in history!!

I notice Cam Smith has a fresh jersey on....
Probably looks better as a backdrop with that Clive Churchill medal on it.....

Melb will be looking at eclipsing the 40-0 drubbing they copped in 2008

Best thing about this game is it will erase the grand final loss record which I think we got against the rabbits? Or storm? Or the raiders in 94?

Game is gone now.

Nothing worse than being flogged in a GF.

Hopefully Trent learns from this .,,

My thoughts exactly.
That day, Sisa Waqa rushed on our back pass to Barba and shut it down about 4 times. A couple of bounces of ball against us and it finished us off.

Here, the Storm are rushing the Panthers and shutting them down. The inability of Edwards to play 2nd 5/8th or Api to kick well is hindering Penrith from mixing it up. 

Melb too smart. Always have been. 

Close to their line grubber for a repeat set, or high kick for a contest.
Odviously try to score but don't force it.

The strip from Api was diabolical...

I the Panthers come back it will be like the 79 GF, experience is beating talent.

Also Storm doing to Panthers what they did to us in 2012 but on a larger scale. They get you into a panic mode then you try things which falls into their play .. 
A plan b is always required 

Ah yes. That offside was dubious. I thought B Smith lost it in the tackle while trying to pass. No offside for mine.

In any case, Luai has been taken out of the game in a masterclass by the Storm rushing defence and right edge in particular. 

Brenko lee has been supreme against Kikau and covering for Jerome Hughes.

Truth is, the decisions are pretty much spot-on.
Only contentious ones IMO are Kikau's pass into Kaufusi hand called knock on and the leg pull on Brenko Lee which was 6 again for afew seconds and then called penalty under no advantage.

The rest are Penrith fekk ups.

Penalty try - unfortunate but correct.
Mansour try - obstruction with zero doubt
Smith try - clearly played at by Api and play-on to Smith

I don't think there has been any incorrect decisions except when Kikau ruled to be offside.Penrith too impetuous.Api knocking ball out of Smith's hands with 2 seconds left in half was sign of that. Cleary throwing a pass that was calling to be intercepted. Penrith halves very poor. Luai has not run once.

Storm have mastered the decisions going their own way last decade or so .. Bulldogs use to do it in the 80’s... 

good call

That's all she wrote.

Nothing gone Penrith way but they are their worst enemies.

Penrith diffused with all the decisions going against them. 

Panthers not getting any luck...

Game just about gone ... Panthers need all the luck 2nd half...

Panthers errors a factor.

Cam Smith might announce his retirement at half time!

I dont remember a team coming back from 16 points down in a GF.....

And not against a Melb team with Cam Smith

Game over?

I am starting to cheer on the Storm because of his commentary...No comment about some of their fans either ..

Gould should be nowhere near the commentary when penrith play. Chriton clearly ran into Lees outside shoulder and Gould declares a try- goose . Only Fittler siasd anything - they are all too intimidated by Gould and his wishful thinking

Did Ray Warren just called Brandon Smith The Bulldog then stopped .. 

Cam is on fire....

Will Cam rule try or no try?
