Cogger finally getting the notice he deserved in this game

Good analysis by the cheese. Yeo and co all coming off threw them off and then we saw the real Nathan cleary doing instinct stuff

Im a Broncos fan and you cant even blame the ref. That was the best reffing all year. We just didnt ice the game and 11-1 errors was always going to cost us.

I think the Cheese is on to it. Cogger comes in, runs straight, Cleary gets the ball and has time to work his magic. Last 20 mins would not have happened without that substitution.

definately Cogger had a huge impact when he came on. gave lots of space and time for Nathan Cleary to play and control the game

"Reecey Walsh's neck must be sore today he was holding the fucker all game" brah cheese is funny as 😂😂

Cogger is like another nat Cleary when he comes on 💯 best impact for the panthers ✊🏾

Cogger is an ex captain of the Australian Schoolboys so no doubt a very talented and intelligent player.

Both the Broncos and the Panthers were architects of their own fate. For me it was a battle of two scrum halves. One made all the right moves in the final twenty whilst the other made all of the wrong ones. Cleary deserves heaps of praise. But Adam Reynolds had to know that with a massive lead and twenty minutes to go the one thing he couldn't allow was for the ball to stay in play for long periods. It had been a long day. His bigger forward pack would undoubtedly start to gas if the game sped up. Kick the ball to touch, man! Play for the scrum. Manage your forward pack's energy reserves and allow them to get some air back into their lungs. And where the hell was he on that blown fifth tackle option when the Broncos had an opportunity to put the ball into the in-goal for a repeat set and instead they ran it - which instantly gave possession back to a Penrith side which had the bit between its teeth. I wouldn't mind but Reynolds is one of the best exponents of kicking for repeat sets in the game! If Cleary's 40-20 was the turning point this blunder was the nail in the coffin for the Broncos. Another six and they could have snatched their breath and probably defended out the game. I wouldn't mind but it was for the precise reason of having an experienced half-back for big-game situations that the Broncos spent big on his contract! It also highlights a critical weakness in the Broncos moving forward because whilst Ezra played exceptionally well - neither he nor Walsh had anything to offer when Reynolds' game management skills and tactical kicking went AWOL. Understand, I'm not taking anything away from Penrith. They played great and Cleary deserves all of the plaudits. But this game was BLOWN by incomprehensibly bad tactical play as much it was won by outstanding football on the opposite side. The Broncos were badly let down by their key decision-makers when the game got big. They failed to manage their energy reserves and instead allowed themelves to get into a stamina battle which they were ALWAYS going to lose against Penrith. Kick the damned ball! Move your team from scrum to scrum. Do whatever you have to do to slow the game down and that game is won. Regardless, I think they are going to have to find a kicking number nine for next season to prevent this eventuality ocurring again. Because they can't allow tactical responsibility to all fall squarely on Reynolds' shoulders again.

Definitely gutted. But on a positive side, you had a Broncos side that went up against a team with a 97% completion rate and has played in four grand finals in a row, two of which they won, and the Broncos still lost by only one penalty goal in the last three minutes of the game. Bright future for the Broncos.

Staggs is Crichtons son

Cheese you are a treasure!!! Great knowledge from a 72 year old ! Love it !!!

I have to say Mitch Kenny had a blinder

Simply the Broncos ran out of legs. All the defense in the first half took it out of them. They were struggling to drag themselves off the defensive line. The ref has been applauded by not blowing his whistle. There were some big moments during the game where the whistle could have been blown but wasnt.

Only things about this Broncos team going forward 1. They had a very easy draw this year (well…as easy as an NRL draw can get) next year they will have much tougher fixtures 2. They avoided long term injuries to all of their stars this year. The odds are stacked against that happening again.

Intimidation factor is a key factor forward packs should have and definitely Leota and JFH terrifies their opponents, doesn't matter how big you are, thats why these 2 are the best 1-2 punch in the NRL🔥💯💪

Cheese was brilliant with his analysis. I didn't think of it that way. No wonder he's the baller and I'm not 😂 But spot on Analysis from the Cheese

There are actual people blaming the refs🤣🤣🤣 24-8 with 18 minutes, Yeo, Sorenson off for a period, Luai gone for the game, the game was literally in a bow for the Broncos. Riki had a man unmarked outside him to seal the game, Critta had to beat 3 people to score, a front rower in support off Clearys line break and Cleary breaks the line against a 5v3 to score the game winner….but the refs are the problem🤣🤣🤣🤣

How many times this year has the broncos stopped playing at 60/70 min mark to many times Cleary done what most champion halves have to do and lead his team for the 80 minutes players like edwards, Crichton , front-rowers don’t get the credit they deserve as well as the rest of team, broncos didn’t respect the ball or the panthers from the start and they got run down by a more committed team that are almost like brothers the way they look at for each other. Well done panthers, broncos hope they learn that playing for 80 minutes is the name of the game hold the ball complete and trust who ever is on the field with you

Balmain players from 1989 are still gutted 34 years later.

Love it when they talk the whole team up like there invincible’ oh paan haas best front rower oh exra man battle of the fullbacks😅 Cleary definitely fucked that plan up

The Cheese you're a champ 💪🏾

Overall i thought the reffing made for a good watch but in the first half when Cobbo appeared to have been run off the ball - should that have been a penalty?

Sure the ref was.good ,but u can ref a game 1 way all year, then change ref style for gf!

It was just a chain of fk ups from broncos, they got lucky with that bit of Mam brilliance. They should have really lost by more than 2 points when you look back on the game

9:35 Cheese, i thought you learned your lessons about bags

I can say cogger is the man of hour,anyway good analysis.

It'll be a long offseason for them Broncos, them boys will be suffering and they will know now for sure that it's an 80 minute game not 60 minutes. So we'll see how the Bronc's turn up in 24, but in the back of there minds they will know Penrith will be there abouts again.... Will they be haunted !!!

Actually I think there's one howler im a panther tragic i think sunny was off side on critters 35 metre repeat kick

Broncos were allowed to hold the ruck in defence for longer. Stifled Panthers attack. They made more meters from quicker play ball. Ref shouldve penalized broncos a few time s for that. Adam thanked the ref at fulltime

I think Brisbane scoring 3 tries so quick hurt them in the end. Panthers were in there normal grind. They did it all first half and I think they would have done it all 2nd half until the 3 quick tries. Cleary and the team know they can't win doing the grind and play an attacking style. If Mam only scores one try do Penrith just stay in grind mode. If Mam scores them later in the game Penrith don't have the time to adjust.

Broncos handed it to them. The final knock on call in Penrefs favour sums up the whole season.

ezra was the 2nd person to score 3 in a losing gf - titan's lass beat him. also manu might feel a lil love lost at training with the best centre in the game comment lol

Ronaldo , Messi and now Penrith

This is where Jam and Cheese you are WRONG. You say they, as in the Broncos will reflect and say, "we had it". They NEVER had it. It is an 80 minute game. They never had it in the bag. Wrong mentality.

The broncos just didn't manage the back end of the game very well

The Broncos didn’t lose that GF; Nathan Cleary won it. Everything they did that lead to points revolved around Cleary. Next year will be Broncos Vs Panthers 2.0 and Broncos will win it…Crichton too big of a loss to be replaced.

I don't feel for the broncos

Broncos had it, why did Adam Reynolds go for those short dropouts.

They stop playing when their went so far head fact

The refereeing was not good, in many aspects it was. However there were quite a few things the broncos should of been penalised for & a couple where penrith could of been, to give away an extremely soft penalty was the ultimate of inconsistency. That penalty turned the game & without penrith would of scored at least once in the final 10 minutes of the first half also the broncos 1st try should never of been considered he was short no way that ball got near the line.

Talk about gutted, Itl only be good for a young broncos team. There day will come, kevie will keep the wheels turning,

Hopefully the Broncos make the GF again next year and lose by 1 with 5 seconds to go 😂

If only Ivan married a different woman lol. He said Nathan would be a sh1t footballer if he didn't marry Nathan's mother 🤣

You guys are not helping the BRONCOS by talking about it 😛😛😛

Reynolds blew it for brisbane

It was in the Broncos back pocket... Until.... We realise that rugby shorts have NO POCKETS not even back pockets? Sorry Brisbane n QLD but....U both (Qld n Broncos) have done this to NSW & other teams in the past when they've come back with f*#k all time left. REMEMBER... Imagine how the others/NSW supporters have felt for years. Ivan Cleary for NSW coach next year! Go Panthers 🤙

Wtf 20 k views wow good show follow all of jimmy’s work

A deserved victory…but, Penrith lucky first try, and lucky the wind changed direction as if Cleary was kicking into the wind he wouldn’t have thumped that 40/20.

Greatest of all time?? A joke if it isnt the greatest insult handed to serious gladiators of the past.

Cleary.... literally tore the Warriors to shreds in round one haha. If there was a Finals MVP for the entire Finals Cleary would still get it.

Nope!

It was only a game of footy James. You talk as though somebody died.

Nobody wants to talk about 2 things which I think changed the game late in the 2nd half when the Broncos were still in front: 1) The Reece Walsh supposed tackled in goal which forced a goal line drop out. Walsh was tackled ! Full Stop. He was on the ground with ball and body in the field of play. He didn't get up! That wasn't a goal line drop out but play on Broncos! 2) The referee awarding the 1 and only 'ruck infringement ' which led to a 6 again to the qpanthers and in that set Cleary scores the winning try! 1 ruck infringement in 80 minutes! Come on! and who gets the 6 again? Panthers inside the Broncos 10 metre with 4 minutes on the clock! Total rubbish

Tutu a was offside for that repeat set

Two of the most insignificant players to ever comment on the GF. Dickcheese just talks out of his arse
