EastLondonMike Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Despite the best efforts of the commentary to talk up the possibility of 2nd half Parra come back, this one feels done and dusted. Obvs things can change very quickly with a sin bin or HIA, but Penrith just look too good. 1 Newham Dockers - Champions 2013.

Dunbar Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 After all that pressure it was two poor defensive plays in the end that led to two of the tries. For the Crichton try, Lane decided to make contact with Cleary after he passed the ball and so couldn't continue the shift in defence and left the gap for the drop off play. For the Sorensen score, Gutherson was stood short side on tackle 5 and then actually went up in defence. No full back in play on tackle 5 in a Grand Final is very poor. For all that, it is the pace that the Panthers play and the structure that Cleary, Yeo and Koroisau give them that makes all the difference. 2 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

I noticed in the previous goal line defensive set that Gutho was gassed trying to stretch himself across the pitch from a play the ball in the defensive left corner.

dkw Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Panthers have completely shut down Para'ssecond phase stuff, killed any chance of an offload and that's where a lot of tries have came from for them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports Prophet Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 A word from one of the coaches after half time of a GF is the next level for sports coverage as far as I’m concerned. Don’t think I’ve seen that on these shores before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StandOffHalf Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Moses played for it, but that doesn't mean they should change the protocol. Wrong call IMO, and to compound Parra's misery the final pass looked forward from the left centre. Game over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
