2023 NRL Grand Final: Teams and Game Day

[Billy Walker]

Channel 9 on a long delay tonight- the previews of the pre game entertainment were in while they were still on TV and now all the swearing is blocked out.

[Botman]

Honestly, Cleary thoroughly deserves the Churchill medal for that performance, but they’ll give it to Mam

They give it to Mam and im driving to sydney to riot
HAS to be Cleary and Mam was amazing.

[The Nickman]

Cleary should be Clive Churchill winner but they’ll give it to Mam

No way they can give it to anyone but Cleary. No way. That was pretty amazing how he took control of that game.

Get ready to be disappointed pal

You don't get it wrong much, but you've fumbled this one

It’s like in 2015 when Milford had the CCM engraved already and Thurston went bam.

Mam was practically wearing the thing around his neck but surely Cleary has stolen it

[President Clinton]

That’s what a halfback/key player who wants the responsibility for getting the win looks like.

We have no one willing or capable of doing what Cleary just did

Geez that’s a bad take.

Perhaps no rugby league team have ever had what Cleary is capable of. Not just the Raiders, pal.

[BJ]

Has to be Cleary. Best on field.

Plenty of teams have. Johns, Cronk, Thurston, etc.

[The Nickman]

Well I’m delighted to be wrong about that

[GreenMachine]

Cleary with the Churchill...
One of the most clutch performances you will ever witness in any sport.

[Botman]

Had to
Honestly one of the greatest performances of my lifetime

[BJ]

Well deserved.

Liota, Man, Martin and Haas the next best amongst a host of strong performances.

Not Nickman’s only bad take this evening. Hope Skater is ok after the spray she copped earlier. Low light of a great night for me.

[President Clinton]

Adam Gee was very good.

[zim]

Crichton went close

All those repeat sets were critical to that result.

[Finchy]

Adam Gee was very good.

Agreed. Almost faultless imo

I disagree.

A number of key players to drag his team from 16 points down in a grand final.

We aren’t seeing that again IMO.

[Northern Raider]

Adam Gee was very good.

Yep. Would love to see all games reffed like that.

Also credit to both teams for playing clean. Very little grubbiness in the game.

[gerg]

Honestly one of the greatest performances of my lifetime

They were totally gone, and he won the game from 16 points down, with 20 to go. I'm totally shook by his performance. There's been plenty of commentary about his lack of match winning ability in big games and he shut that conversation down in a sublime 20 minutes.

**** the Broncos.

[Finchy]

Luke Garner with the best decision of his career. Leaves the wooden spoon Tigers, plugs away in reserve grade for most of the year, wins a grand final.

[BJ]

Adam Gee was very good.

Yep he stayed out of the game and kept the play moving.

Thought Panthers pushed a few things and Broncos went early off the defensive line a bit, but it evened itself out. He certainly didn’t have any howlers like 2019.

[mikeraider]

And that's we could a GF with foggery he has no Ex factor like Clearly, or to a lesser extent Reynolds.

[Dr Zaius]

Honestly, that is close to the euphoria I felt at our prelim win in 2019. That and the 2015 GF. Love watching Broncos getting their hearts broken.

Hopefully Walsh follows Milfords trajectory now and gets on the pies.

[Botman]

hats off man
Dont know if he got the broncos try before half time right, didnt look like on tv replays, but no one got a better veiw of it than him and otherwise, completely unnoticable. Perfect refereeing performance, the players decided the game and he might as well have not been there.

[Finchy]

I have no idea what you just said, but I’m sure you’re right

[Botman]

Also shout out to the GHers who tried telling me Liam Martin was overrated... that dude is a **** STUD who would be a player anywhere he went.

I was about to write the same thing Finchy. The Panthers tea lady did more for the team this season than Garner.

[Dr Greenthumb]

Happy to admit I was wrong about Cleary. Finally a truly dominant performance on the big stage. Deserves the accolades.

So strange being able to enjoy a Panthers victory. Not only because they beat the Broncos, but I think they matured a lot this year and didn’t behave like twats.

Leota is so underrated. No idea why JFH gets so much more praise. He’s just as damaging and has more X-factor to his game. To be there in support when Cleary made that line break was huge.

I was one of them prior to this year. Still trying to pick that one out of the back of my net.

[Dr Zaius]

What a **** team. Honestly. Their every chance of 4 in a row as well.

I was mostly being petty lol'
No one bats 1.000
We all get it wrong. Ive got a laundry list of players i was wrong about too. No shame.

[Old School Green]

Adam Gee was very good.

Agree. Just let them play. Understood his assignment and delivered. His to lose forthwith !
