They have been the two best teams all year, so it is only fitting that Brisbane and Penrith will clash for premiership glory.
Brisbane and Penrith, the two best teams of a memorable season, will face off in next Sunday’s decider. The cream has risen to the top.the Broncos were touted as the team most likely to thwart the Panthers’ quest for a historic three-peat
For the best part of three years, the Warriors couldn’t wait to get home. Yet when cult hero Dallin Watene-Zelezniak scored two of the first three tries of the game, much to the dismay of a packed stadium, it looked like they would be spending even more time on this side of the Tasman. The Panthers will go into their fourth consecutive grand final as overwhelming favourites. In dismantling the Storm on Friday they have become them; a clinical, insatiable rugby league machine that has left all challengers in their wake.Yet in Reece Walsh, Brisbane have an X-factor capable of breaching even their defence. The flying fullback is one of the NRL’s great gunslingers. No player has made more errors all year, but one of his many gifts is his ability to immediately forget them.
With Adam Reynolds steering the ship, playing behind middle forwards Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan and Tom Flegler, they have a chance. No team can beat the Panthers in an arm wrestle; on Friday they didn’t drop the football for the first hour of play. Yet no team will ask more questions than Kevin Walters’ side.
