I've never been more proud of the Mighty Eels, Awesome is an over used word these days but not today. They were magnificent, I'd also like somebody to check out the last time a team beat the Storm twice in a season.....

[@effieomg3994]

35 years... 🤣🤣🤣

[@Greenfield-yf1wh]

Good on you, Parra. The Storm will win the comp and the Eels will be forever remembered as the team that beat the back-to-back permiership champion twice. Mad respect.

[@effieomg3994]

@@Greenfield-yf1wh No one remembers the losers, only the winners are remembered 🤣🤣 Parramatta - 35 years of mediocrity 🤣🤣

@J G Yeah whatever loser. Soccer is way to dull to be big in Australia or the US. It has no sporting history in AUS and simply isn’t a part of the culture here.

The defence in this game was epic

[@gideonmomia1440]

Eels were missing their regular number 9. The nine that played made like three or more simple errors the pass to Paulo jnr in the dying minutes was off ! It's hard to say it, but I think he (9) played a major role in the eels not advancing . You don't do simple mistakes like that in a finals game like that, cos it will definitely cost u the game

[@willwright6919]

Yeah gotta feel sorry for Ray Stone but better luck next year eels. Manly supporter

[@lethalkiller9528]

Paulo thought that ball was going to the back because there was seconds left on the clock.

[@tearkshunta5407]

@Gideon Momia Yeah in the Last Ten Minutes He done 2 High Passes from in front of their Try Line Which the receivers had to Jump and Stretch to Catch it, Which Stuffed Up their Momentum & Options.

[@finnwilko]

Penrith were missing their regular 5. Cant complain mate.

Righto mate

[@Torlet]

Robbed. 10:23 Luai should have been binned, at the very least a penalty.

[@ynotnilknarf39]

didn't see that at first, not sure of a binning as reality was he was never geting to the play but still a pen. I just called the deliberate knock on at 11:45, terrible non call as he was never getting an ingtercept. it's high time that type of deliberate knock on as per laws of the game were upheld.

[@gtmorgan4323]

Yes exactly and I can’t believe nothing came of that incident

[@gtmorgan4323]

@William Winsor The Luai incident happened before Will Penisini was offside and Jake Trbojevic was sin binned against Souths in the finals in 2019 for something similar but the Luai one was way worser than that

[@Greenfield-yf1wh]

Great effort by both teams.

An amazing game for the neutral, however that should have been a penalty for that deliberate knock on toward the end 11:45, terrible call and should have been a yellow for a professional foul no way was he gathering/intercepting that.
