Arguably the best grand final I've seen.
Both teams gave their all & were at full throttle all game.
Brisbane, were true to themselves, with their high risk, high reward style but ultimate credit to Penrith for finding a way to win, when almost down & out.
They may not have the star power of the Parramatta team of the early 1980s but they're a better team.
They're likely to contend for awhile yet with their junior nursery & development, the envy of the league (if only Tigers, sigh...)
Kudos to all participants in yesterday's 3 gfs in oppressive & threatening conditions.

Agree. Amazing game. Fast, skillful and brutal.
The NRL could make some inroads down here with the reducing physicality in the AFL. I've been watching the NRL every Thrusday night and loving it. The speed & skill keeps increasing but they have maintained the toughness.
And that was after Cleary was mainly responsible for the 2 previous Broncos tries. He willed himself to make amends.

What surprised me about the game were the short kick outs. I can only assume they have looked at statistics around short goal line drop outs v long kicks and determined the short kick has a lower chance of coming back as a score. But to me you could argue the short drop outs cost Brisbane the game. I don't understand why it isn't kicked back to the centre line or as far as they can get it.
There might finally be 'some light at the end of tunnel' for the Tigers following yesterday's board dissolution & appointment of interim replacements. S Richardson, in particular, a canny operator a good appointment. A pity it's not permanent.
Plenty of work needed to get anywhere near 'relative' success but st least there's now hope.

This is a pretty slick intro to Rugby League for the US audience with Russell Crowe narrating. Very well done.
Rugba league is to NRL what Essadun is to AFL. And yes, a hammy *smile*.
Not yet. Close.
March 7 is the official start of Season of Redford 2024. You’re gonna love it !!!
Concludes 28th of September.
Watched the start of NRL 360 last night just to get a feel of what's going on over there and how that Paul Kent fella went since I think it's his first time back after being stood down.
Gotta say the poor old NRLeanderthals have the AFL residing rent free where their tiny little brains should inhabit.
Only took Kent about 15 seconds to start banging on about how they're the biggest sport in the country etcetera etcetera. Then that knucklehead Buzz whoever chimed in.... time to turn off!
Must say it was a far better show when he wasn't on it last year.

They are both a pair of ultra dumbed down 1970’s morons. Agree.
The NRL is miles ahead of the AFL in many regards. That was a magnificent event in Vegas. Know a few people that went that have raved about the experience so far (and they are just about to hit the town).
The NRL footy show & the personalities and the players are so much more entertaining than their AFL counterparts.
NRL is on an upwards trajectory fior mine, their game is very good to watch and they promote it very well.
Like him or not, Vlandys is easily this countries best sports administrator.

NRL kicked off today and I missed it.
Not too fussed about missing all the BS from the US.
Just wish I had the courage of my conviction to drop the cash I was going to on both Manly and the Roosters after they both won.
Tipped em both but didnt lay the cash down ...............sooooft.
Thank F!@#% the NRL is back and looking forward to the season kicking off back here on Thursday Night.

I like the game and have followed it for 40 odd years, not as closely since Super League
Vegas was a good marketing ploy, they sure do need it, because when they get back to Australia they’ll be playing in front of 10,000 people at Leichhardt, Belmore and Brookvale etc.
