So Penrith won everything
Gus just formalised their best advantage. They have sole dominion over the best rugby league nursery in the world. They develop the wealth of talent, their team is stacked with local juniors because they ALL grow up wanting to be Panthers. There is nothing else out there, rugby league is king
Throw in Sydney's fucked up property prices actively pushing league demographic families in to their area and the rest of the league should be worried.
Their top side won't be as good next year without kikau and apisau, but I don't bet against them unearthing good replacements.
And because they are local boys, and lots are family oriented poly boys, it's very hard to buy them away.

yeah that was about as dominant as it gets in a grand final ,
Complete shut out , im not even sure if parra played that bad , their best just isnt on the same level ,
Sounded loud coming thru the tv early in the game when the scores were level , imagine the hysteria when the Eels actually win one again .

and so the News Ltd pile-on begins
Apparently Penrith aren't gracious enough winners for them. Stay humble you poor people from teh West.
A team that has lost 9 games in 3 seasons, been to 3 straight GFs, and just gone back-to-back can pretty much say whatever they want. They absolutely flogged Parra on Sunday night, that margin was extremely flattering to the Eels.
JFH is right, this is the best Penrith side of all time. By fucking miles.

The system seems pretty solid but don’t underestimate the Sydney league media trying to find ways to get at them and unearth some controversy.

He was never the quickest in the halves so no surprise he got chased down 😀
I guess he’ll be in the ACT legislative assembly or the Australian Senate in the next couple of years with this….

of course he got "run down" is because his intention was to rip down the telstra pads!!
that guy was real pissed at his telco

@ACT-Crusader think you might want to check out his highlights. He was very quick. McFadden was the slower one , but better between the ears.

Spot on. It was the Queensland Reds that took him to the dark side.

The Melbourne Storm have signed promising forward Josiah Pahulu on a two-year deal after he was granted a release by the Titans.
Good signing for dolphins

Cranky the Cowboys couldn't keep him but he was getting limited minutes.
I sorta hoped he got Feldts spot next year

he's a 30 year old winger that is getting slower every month
been an enormous servant. But teams at the top can't afford sentimentality.
-
@mariner4life Yeah surprised they didn't do more to keep the hammer. Would have tried to move Feldt on personally.

So Penrith won everything
Gus just formalised their best advantage. They have sole dominion over the best rugby league nursery in the world. They develop the wealth of talent, their team is stacked with local juniors because they ALL grow up wanting to be Panthers. There is nothing else out there, rugby league is king
Throw in Sydney's fucked up property prices actively pushing league demographic families in to their area and the rest of the league should be worried.
Their top side won't be as good next year without kikau and apisau, but I don't bet against them unearthing good replacements.
And because they are local boys, and lots are family oriented poly boys, it's very hard to buy them away.
What Penrith has done has ensured that the NRL won't provide salary cap exemptions for talent that is developed by the club.
With their junior competitions and the financial clout of the league club, they'd be certain finalists year on year.

Gus Gould has come out and reckons the only way to even the comp is to get rid of the cap
I assume his thinking is that the comp needs a couple of competing teams, so those that can't develop can just buy.
The result of this is that the clubs at the bottom are staying there.

Gus is a moron. Further proof you don't require a functioning brain to be moderately successful.
"You can buy talent" Yes Gus, at overs which ensures your club goes into unmanageable debt. Dickhead.

i can never work Gus out. It's pretty clear he's not a complete moron. He's widely respected by people who know the game.
But his public utterances are ridiculous.
Yes buying average players on massive overs has fucked over so many clubs. Penrith and to a lesser extent the Cowboys have shown the focus on development can pay dividends, along with a couple of astute signings.
The huge problem is, not all areas are the same.
