General 2021 NRL Premiership Finals - WEEK 1

[Bangbros 2023]

Let me introduce you to Logan Swann

I will never forget the game against Parramatta 😂

I think the top 3 Storm, Panthers and South’s are a class above just with the speed they play. 300+ points differential for all three teams across the season. Massive step up from the pack.

Manly and the Eels can fire up when it clicks. Have the talent but not as complete or consistent as the top 3. Eels faded while Manly have finished the season strong.

Roosters would be up there but are decimated by injuries. They are well coached which compensated for the talent off the field.

Knights, Gold Coast and the other ‘top 8 contenders’ are still playing the old style. They are the best traditional sides. Noticeable slower and a game plan around strength and power rather than speed and attack. All finished the season with negative points differential and can’t compete with the speed the top teams are playing at.

Sides would of looked at the rules last year and make a decision on which way they would go. Power or speed.

O'Sullivan wanted to build our side around a big forward pack like Warriors sides of the past. I can't recall if it was him or someone else mentioning the Storm had a big pack and they won last year. Problem is the Storm are so well drilled that they can play either way.

They have good big men, speed out wide.

They have two decent dummy halves and instead of making a decision Bellamy has given both decent game time. So they have a constant threat from dummy half to play off.

This is all just tongue in cheek aye. Nothing personal or to be taken seriously. I’m sure PH is hurting right now. One of those lessons learnt. I hope he comes out a stronger player next season.

just as a side point thompson is so far forward that he would never be in position to recieve a pass anyway. and thats exactly what happened. imagine if he was back ready to recieve, paddy goes from zero to hero. just shows its all about the team, not the player

He's giving David a wide birth because thats who he should have passed it to.
