Back in the big dance again | Storm v Panthers Match Mini | Preliminary Final, 2021 | NRL

Ivan Cleary’s planning to avenge last year’s grand final loss had been so precise that the Panthers waited five months to exploit a Storm weakness exposed by the Roosters earlier this year but the Penrith coach wouldn’t have counted on son Nathan facing a possible judiciary charge.

Never realised how much of a work horse Dylan Edwards is until this game. Dude is legit reliable asf when he isnt injured haha

I’d honestly think he’d be one of the fittest blokes in the NRL

@@Duncdawg apparently nobody from the panthers can keep up with him at training. So wouldn't be surprised if he is top 5 fittest players in the NRL.

[@ARandomGuy24]

@@greasybolo0142 Watch Cleary tackle the second rower/centre next game and almost every time he hits low and turns them onto their back in one motion. It's how like clockwork he does that stuff whereas other halves just concede the quick play the ball against the bigger player that makes him great.
