I think you’re right. Penrith lost so many players not just the last five years but been filling the nrl with players for 20+ years and they develop them and lose them.
Im bronco fan Without watching any videos or experts opining i can say they r the greatest no doubt. So many teams r fighting hard to make it final but still struggling in last 10/15 years. But this club made 5GF in last 5 years winning 4 of those is just mindblowing n out of anyone dream. I really cant imagine they really did it. Anyone who questione them if they r the greatest? they either high on drugs or just a haters. Panthers you guys r bloody best sporting team in Australia no question. Enjoy the high ride panthers ,good time doesn't always come but when is there hv a blast. Cheers
I'm a Melbourne Storm fan but hats off and my respect to The Penrith Panthers for what they have achieved in the last 5 years! They stuck to their game plan which was to tire the middle forwards and prevent them from laying the platform for our spine to attack efficiently! They just stick to what they know they are best at, no fancy plays, no risky moves, and they do the little 1 per cent things right, and their edge is their fitness! So if other teams are going to be a threat to Panthers going forward, they will need to work on getting even fitter and be relentless in defence and attack and show that burning desire as a team. otherwise Penrith will dominate for many years to come....even our coach Craig Bellamy said no excuses we needed to be better and they stuck to their game plan longer than we did, and the better team on the night won! Simple, no excuses! Other teams will need to take note of this GF if they are to be any challenge to Penrith in future!
Truth be told it was actually the Storm that set the standards over the last two decades which other teams (including us Panthers) try to emulate. I think what Storm have managed to do throughout the past two decades has been incredible. It always makes me laugh when you hear through a season sometimes, oh the Storm are gone, they ain't gonna make finals and yet every year they are there. The Storm have an incredible record given the time they have been in this comp. As a supporter of the Panthers for the last 50 years and living through the chocolate soldier years (so painful), being either last or second last year after year, it's bloody fantastic to see the success they currently enjoy. Like all things it won't last and things will change down the track but make no mistake, of all the teams the others fear, the Storm are always at the pointy end of that list. Good luck next year, fingers crossed we meet again in the 2025 GF.
@@GuyMorris-oq2zp Yeah true, Melbourne Storm have been very consistent and instilled that drive into the Panthers after the 2020 GF loss to us, they have done amazing things, and this loss will make Melbourne a better team no doubut, lots to learn, many of the Storm team haven't played a GF together so hopefully they take something away from this! Where Penrith is now compared to where they were is nothing short of Inspiring! Hopefully yes we meet in the GF again in 25 though would be a nice change to see a new challenger put up a good fight!
They can definitely go 5 in a row. As long as as Cleary, Yeo, Edwards, Liam , Too and Tago healthy, and the help of others, they are a shield in for another title.
Yep, salary cap is cruel when it works, but some clubs never seem to be affected by it. Since winning their first GF, Penrith have lost Burton, Kikau, Capewell, Crighton, Koriseau, Lenui, Luai, Fisher Harris, Hopgood etc etc to bigger money elsewhere. That's 9 players alone of Origin/International standard. Yet when other clubs have won back to back titles they seem to be able to keep everybody and even buy Origin level players.
@@daleviker5884 The salary cap allows third party payments and players own their own IP so they can be "sponsored". Probably explains why Stefano is leaving his new home and nearly a million a year at wests to move to Melbourne, how they fit all those stars under the cap is beyond belief.
We lost 25+ first grade players in 5-6 years, everyone always thinks of the main 7-8 players we lost, but it’s actually a lot more (eg - Wade Egan, Momorski, Tenavano, Sean Osullivian, Salman, Eddie Blacker, Tom Jenkins, Chris Smith, Charlie Staines, Brett Naden to name some of top my head) apologies if I spelled any names wrongs.
@@svw1971 wrong. they have been hurt by retirement. Cronk fell in love and left, slater, smith...all 3 now retired. Two of those three should have been made imortals before they retired. Melbourne are a good team and had a great year but they massively overachieved. No Cronk, smith, slater and that my friend makes every difference in the world.
Storm fan here, and i have absolutely zero doubt they'll go 5 straight! They still have their main guys in Edwards, To'o, Cleary, Leota, Martin, Yeo.... bro, they going 5 straight!!!! 😮💨😮💨😑😑
Not so sure about that, Storm have picked up a very good front rower which I think was their main weakness this year, especially with big Nelson not playing the final. Storm will be very hard to beat next year
Long term Panthers fan myself of 30 odd years, I am not entirely sure we go 5 in a row, hopeful but not sure. But 4 feels pretty good especially thinking back to some of the dark cellar dwelling days. Not sure you guys as Storm fans will ever feel that pain, at least in terms of on field performances. Storm are too good for that.
@@BradMD9Storm are pretty difficult to beat year on year usually. Been up at the pointy end for a long time now, but they aren't the only ones. Honestly I think it will be top 4 shoot out. Melbourne and Penrith and perhaps two others. We will see.
@@BradMD9 stop it😂 Stefano has been average since he debuted lol, this year he was absolute rubbish.... he's lazy and some players just don't have it in them.
There team dosnt really change with blaize and papalii coming in for fish and turuva with Laurie slotting in at 6. They still have a very big chance to do it again
i saw 2 things in that game 1 nathan showing he can be running half and do better than hughs and 2nd reason storm lost was all cause they tried to play panthers as the panthers and they could keep up
@@falagi11 It shows how pointless the Dally M awards are in their current form. Hynes, Hughes, Johnson and Wighton have won the award for "best player" the last four years yet the guy who has led his team to 4 straight GFs hasn't won one. They need to scrap the current system and revamp it more like the Ballon D'Or in soccer, where players and managers vote for the best player.
They will be missing James Fisher-Harris, and Jarome Luai in 2025. Will be hard to replace those two. Fisher-Harris is returning to his native New Zealand to link up with the Auckland based Warriors. While Luai is moving across town to the Tigers.
Andrew Johns, JT, Darren lockyer, Greg Inglis, Billy Slater, Brett Kenny, Mal Meninga, Peter Sterling, Alfy Langer, Freddy Fitler are all above him if he didn't play 400 games he wouldn't even be in the discussion 😂
@@nathj4818 nah mate keep dreaming cleary can't even win consecutive origins. He is no match for that storm team a few years ago they would wipe the floor with him
Cows v Broncos 2015 GF is still my favourite game of the modern era. Such a close and exciting game with a fairytale ending full of twists and turns. Full of drama and all the hallmarks of a historic match
Wtf is wrong with Buzz? He gave Gus a wrap for what's going on at the Dogs, that's not like him at all. Also JFH is a big loss but Luai isn't a loss at all.
The Nrl company will decide that- with their judiciary, 6 agains and bunker if a up and coming team with a large gan base that no one expected to come up say like dolphins or warriors then the NRL may let them win who knows what the nrl company will decide
Yep. It's sad when the NRL decides all the outcomes year after year. Some teams don't even have any local players from an entire state but the NRL let them cheat the rules on and off the field to remain near the top.
Honestly as amazing as Penrith are, I don’t think 5 straight is in the cards. I’d stunned if they do it, but there’s a couple of reasons why I think they won’t. First, the losses of Luai and Fisher-Harris are the biggest ones yet. Guys like Api, Critta, Kikau, and Burton had impact youngsters behind them ready to slot in like Tago, Garner, and Kenny. The club is bringing in Blaize Talagi and Isaiah Papali’i as replacements, but they’ll need time to integrate into the system, especially developing Talagi who is still a pretty raw prospect. Secondly, fatigue. At some point it’s going to hit. This team and its core have been playing deep into September and towards October for 5 straight seasons now. Many of the main guys have had Origin and international stints as well. That’s gotta take a toll. While I don’t think 5 straight will happen, they’ll be a massive threat in 2025 with the impact youth playing key roles and the core led by Nathan Cleary. But another premiership at some point after 2025 seems well within reach.
Buzz makes a fair argument. Apart from Melbourne the competition is just terrible. Look at the top 4 every year since 2020 the only team that has been there every year with Penrith is Melbourne, so realistically there is only one team that can compete with them. Bar the odd surprise package like the Broncos in 23 and the Eels in 22, Penrith could easily go 5 in a row. We just have to hope that the Dogs can build something sustainable, or maybe Madge can do a quick turnaround with the Broncos
These pundits are sleeping on Scott Sorenson. Had a massive GF. Next year I bet you Liam Henry, Luke Gardner, Lindsay Smith and Luron Patea will step up big time. Casey Maclean in the centres and Paul Alimoti on the wing. Wouldnt bet against 5.
These guys near ear monitors where they can hear each other's voices because they keep talking over each other. Once you do that it should cut that back
I’m almost 70 years old and I got a tad misty eyed when I witnessed the greatest team of the modern game and era win their fourth consecutive premiership which I thought would be impossible and unlikely in the salary cap era. I can remember the great St. George teams of the early to mid 1960s and my grandmother said to me “I don’t think any club will ever win back to back let alone multiple premierships again.”
Victoria didn't win anything this year in ANY sporting code thats why storm were favourites at the bookies the whole state put a couple bob on them in hope lol
I'll give it to the old codger buzz..he's not scared to stick his neck out. Then the others almost come at him for expressing his opinion. Week after week. Fair chat.
No offence mate but have you ever laced up a pair of boots? A struggling side who came 15th this season, winning a premiership with a rookie coach in his first season, up against the likes of the Panthers, Storm and even an improved Bulldogs?! Give it 5 years mate to save the disappointment.
Mmmm! I really don’t care what someone who has never played the game thinks! Gordie on the money, Penrith can go another to make it five and Braithwaite keeping his powder dry on saying no way!
There's a fair case that last year against the Broncos and this year against the Storm they had the blessing of the referee's to help them get home. People won't like contemplating such a thing though.
Rubbish! I’m a Storm fan and the fact is that Penrith outplayed us, fair and square. Ashley Kline’s refereeing was excellent. The game flowed well and Penrith stepped up a notch or two. They simply out performed the Storm. As Ivan Cleary and Craig Bellamy said; Storm played hard and weren’t pushovers, but the Panthers played better. I salute them for their performance. It was exceptional.
Well I was cheering them on but Panther fans have become unbearable non stop whining even when they win...most of them are bandwagon fans ..it was not long ago that Gould had to give out free tickets and cheap food so the stadium wasn't empty
They won't win 5. NRL rigged and match fixed the season for them especially the finals and the GF. granted not the Panthers fault the refs and governing body cannot follow their own rules and heavily influence and favour one team, Panthers play park footy, nothing new or fancy and people are in disbelief. they play footy the way it's been played since 1908 and some coaches tried to reinvent it. end of the day panthers have the W. Vlandy's and his betting investors. That try that was robbed off storm changed momentum and ultimately the game. Klein all finals games done everything possible to kill whatever momentum any team versing panthers had throughout the season too. again people that know the game from and officiating stand point and true fan know it and can see it. Bulldogs wining next year GF because of match fixing because of the increase in fan base, revenue and to revamp their stadium.
Spot on Braith, last year was the best I’ve ever seen it’s hard to follow that GF. I felt the ref slowed the game by letting Penrith lay in the tackle a bit too long
@@DanzSiu that’s fair in which it made it a lacklustre grand final but like I said last years was so damn good that it’s still fresh in NRL fans minds.
The NRL should bring in the bird contract system like the NBA does. Penrith should be rewarded for development not dismantled.
I’d say 4 in a row is a just reward
I think you’re right. Penrith lost so many players not just the last five years but been filling the nrl with players for 20+ years and they develop them and lose them.

Haha blaize talagi ain’t no luai 🤦🏽♂️
Reedy needs to go
It's so obvious these guys are not happy Panthers won 🤦🙄 everything coming out of their mouths is to keep their job lol 🤦🤣
Storm will still be considered he best team of the last 20 years. Go figure.
When the NSWRL, NRL, Ref and Judiciary are all on the same side, of course they'll win another.
They won't win 5. NRL rigged and match fixed the season for them especially the finals and the GF. granted not the Panthers fault the refs and governing body cannot follow their own rules and heavily influence and favour one team, Panthers play park footy, nothing new or fancy and people are in disbelief. they play footy the way it's been played since 1908 and some coaches tried to reinvent it. end of the day panthers have the W. Vlandy's and his betting investors. That try that was robbed off storm changed momentum and ultimately the game. Klein all finals games done everything possible to kill whatever momentum any team versing panthers had throughout the season too. again people that know the game from and officiating stand point and true fan know it and can see it. Bulldogs wining next year GF because of match fixing because of the increase in fan base, revenue and to revamp their stadium.
That Ends In 2025 🤣😆😂
laugh now to hide the pain 😭😭
Don't be so confident about that. Go Eels.
thought 20204 was suppose to be the end I though storms were suppose to be the ones to put end in the dynasty 😂😂😂😂
lol I don’t think so
@@jaydensamoa7529 The 🤡 Has Joke's 😆🤣😂
Spot on Braith, last year was the best I’ve ever seen it’s hard to follow that GF. I felt the ref slowed the game by letting Penrith lay in the tackle a bit too long
Well Penrith were held down long enough aswell
@@DanzSiu that’s fair in which it made it a lacklustre grand final but like I said last years was so damn good that it’s still fresh in NRL fans minds.
The refs deserve all the credit
Yeah, they kept Melbourne in the game
Nawwww 😭😭😭
Storm are like broncos notorious choke artists in grand finals
@@BKK290💯 %
Bring in International refs & bunkers to avoid conflict of interest as we are seeing some biased decisions
NRL = New south wales Referee League
Melbourne storm= notorious salary cap cheats
The NRL refs and bunker keep them in it.
@ Load of 💩. It’s very obvious the favours they get.
Penrith & NRL are like P.Diddy, sooner or later they gonna get caught
They can win 5 straight cause they have the biggest brown paper bags for Ashley
Klein is a Storm man. Your dreaming and Panthers deserve their turn at the top
It's a shame the ref let them be off side all night! They don't win without the ref's help !
BS
