Great to see the big marn get the call up

MT was a bit rude to the big fella.

[@loonyleper]

He just knew that Darryl had his number style-wise

I grew up watching the big marn on the footy show. Now I’m 23 and it’s good to see him again

Love the Big Marnnn! Side note: I understand they only talk about teams playing on 9 but seriously why not address the other games?

Love the big marrn and I'm AFL! Such a genuine person. The Melbourne Storm are winner's of the 2024 GF! Put your house on it!

I'm pretty sure , Darren Clarke did run an 400 Metre Olympic Final and I'm thinking 1984 LA or Moscow 1980.

19:05 Always thought nikorema was quality ever since playing for broncos. Great to see him going up a level under wayne.

[@madlad8629]

He's a freakish player, he's always been an all-rounder at other clubs, it's good too see him get a chance at being at consistent.

[@jasonphillips1064]

Yes Nikorima is in the same mould like the retired players Robbie Paul and Lance Hohaia so talanted with skills and speed for days could play from 9,7,6 to centres and fullback them all so balanced runners

[@DartelJ]

"I love everyone for making me feel this good" sound bite used out of context is WILD hahahaha

[@clutch7548]

Gay gen Z comment wont be a hit here son

[@DartelJ]

Hahahaha shut up. I’m 42 and Freddy is my favourite player, ever.

[@clutch7548]

We love Daryl!

[@zacbingham6778]

"Bears? They're not mobile, they're not fast." Freddy has obviously never listened to Joe rogan 😂 or David Attenborough 🐻

[@taiyonatiare7918]

Why should players be loyal to clubs when clubs are real quick to dump them when they see someone similar who will take less money from the cap? It’s a business both ways not just when the club decides to move players on

[@jinjaman101]

LUV THE BIG MAN, COOL DUDE!!

[@JoshSmith-ic9mi]

What the hells up with joey's arm.... Freddie thought it was his clubfoot as well 🤣 😂

Fred Fittler is a scholar

[@ohwhye]

Clark achieved fourth place in two consecutive Olympics, 1984 and 1988.

[@knights162]

Clubs don't show loyalty to players, hundred get cut every year, I don't blame players for not showing it anymore. Live your life, it's a short career and players should make the most of it.

Wing comes in for a run Big marn: gus let's flog this bloke Bloke: scores try 😂😂😂

[@ChiefWiggum-sf7uq]

Wow no one cared when BRONCOS had to lose players to every other team now it happens to Panthers they get Fifita yep makes sense

[@user-zr5ke9ew1g]

Fifita should really be going back to the Broncos as he promised

[@joshloreto2676]

Broncos didn't develop as much or lose as many over a 4 year period. Not even close

[@ChiefWiggum-sf7uq]

@@user-zr5ke9ew1g he should sick of people using that club to cash in , Like Hunt , Wallace , Taylor so many get noticed straight away in the Bronx jersey and every club throws money there way We’re easily the most poached team without any compensation

[@sj.m6349]

You’re acting like the NRL is forcing Fifita to go to Penrith 😂 it’s Players choice at the end of the day

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

The only reason the panthers can even talk to Fifita is because Fish got a compassionate release to go home to NZ. What would the broncs do if Hass moved on? Fifita will probably end up at the roosters, the have $4 million to spend plus third party payments, the panthers are a working class team so not much in third party. The Murdochs own the broncos and they are the richest club in the nrl. Look at the junior leagues the broncs get to choose from, sure they have to share now but Sydney has 9 teams and they have been poaching the panthers for decades.

[@user-oo4zo8yy5u]

Fifita would suit the Dolphins outfit.

[@nicholascook921]

Wait, how can Freddy be celebrating Fifita going to Penrith one second and then slaming Talagi the next for exploring his options.

How when star players have left Penrith and everyone’s writing off Penrith to win this year. When GSW got KD they were the favourites to win the chip and had all their star players

[@CJH94]

wtf happened with that photo of David Fifita in a panthers jersey in the background?? Did they stick his head on a picture of Matt eisenhuth’s ugly rig or something ? It’s off putting

[@Pozloh]

900k is 900k too much for Stefano.

[@danielturetahi2384]

He has done Kaka for the coast

[@EthanMac98]

Big Marn doesn't understand league if he thinks Cowboys are the most disappointing when Souths are at the bottom of the table.

[@drxgzi_7470]

Love this

[@briankennedy1192]

Cowboys are guilty of leaving Cotter and Reece to do all the work in attack and defence....Taumalolo looks unfit he was a workaholic until the last couple of years, give him back the captaincy I'd bet he produces. And coach Payten leave him on for at least 65 minutes he was an 80 minute machine until you benched him..

Katoa is a Penrith junior. The Dolphins took him and Sullivan at the same time. He was being groomed by Penrith, we could have used him now. Just another one taken. They can’t get all the first graders so get our best juniors at 19-21 year olds
