Special Grand Final edition of Freddy & the Eighth - Ep25 | NRL on Nine

[@Hubbabubba1999]

Gus means more to Rugby league then anyone. We need a petition to get Gus as a IMMORTAL🇦🇺💙

[@SilentHotdog28]

Such a great ambassador for the game.

[@deborahvenet-sanos8584]

So true we felt exact same way about Jack Gibson

[@issyjas3309]

I started watching him on the Sunday roast years ago which involved all kinds of internet shenanigans. He’s absolutely brilliant at what he does.

[@Grampsteestyles]

Gus needs to be on all the time

[@Yoursss_Trulyyy]

They should bring Gus more often

[@iancocks9408]

A real professional, the others are good as larrikins, gould is the sensible one haha

Yep, keep the three blokes who know what they're talking about and leave tomson out of it. That's your way forward Channel 9

[@greggroovy001]

The best show yet! Loved all the stories with Gus! Awesome guys.....

[@shedwork]

Thanks guys another great season of FATE, can't wait for next year! Absolute top class act.

[@harryglover3112]

My fav person in the game. Could genuinely listen to him talk footy all day. Everyone says he is the smartest footy brain they have ever met and it’s evident if you watch a lot of footy content

[@garycromie9092]

I could listen to Gus Gould all day long. He's a genius and historian of the modern game. Long may you run, Gus.

[@SlaintheMhath]

NAS had 3 careless high tackle charges in 8 weeks. Collins would have missed the GF if the rorters had won and he missed the prelim.

[@issyjas3309]

Got what he deserved , could make a huge difference to the GF but I find it just too close to call. Can make a case for both teams and wouldn’t surprise who wins.

[@Tommy.b0y22]

Johnnys little girl appearing was so wholesome❤

[@Breaking_Sydney]

Cameron Smith was handed a two match suspension following a grade one contrary conduct charge by the Match Review Committee. He missed the Semi Final and Grand Final.

[@zextr0747]

when was that?

[@handlesrt583]

​@zextr0747 2008 when they played manly in the final. If I can recall correctly it was for his grapple style tackle

[@taawhihamiora]

Throw that Gus segment into the hall of fame!! What a banger

[@GodlyCarnage]

I loved this. Thank you fellas.

[@rodmcinally2934]

Imagine telling someone in 20 years time about the panthers making 5 grand finals in a row and then saying not one player from that team won the dally m award, they wouldn’t believe you , but it’s true sadly

[@BillScobie-u8x]

The ref should be getting the Daly m medal of that’s the case. They do all the work for panthers. But that’s what you get from a busted arse blues team filled with mainly grubs

[@winchesterdown]

I think that's actually a hallmark of a high performing team across the card. Each week it's not consistently the same players getting points, it's an even spread across many more players because they always step up. Eg At the other extreme, Newcastle knights will mostly have points for Ponga who towers above his teammates on performance.

[@MrKeysjimmy]

As always great show

[@WalterDaBeas]

GUS is the best respect from nz

[@jeffparryncc1701]

Those women have skills for days now. Great to see.

[@Br0wnCh3]

[@rodcraig7295]

I think that Channel 9 should do a five part series on state of origin from 1980 getting together the coaches and the players just like what Freddy, Gus and Andrew just did. I really enjoyed the insights from them. Please do it while everyone is still with us.

[@bernyoz]

He’s much better than the other 2 jokers. You actually learn something and it’s genuine.

[@rileyo4238]

Great show

[@alechiggins-h5b]

What a decent human... actually, all these men are good folk. Hello from England. Gus, legend.

[@MegaQLDER]

About Kev. He is a proper old school league man! Living! Legend of our club. That said, I feel outside looking in he's been made a scapgoat to an extent due to the trouble we've had off the paddock this year. Best of luck Madge, big aura to fill but as a Bronco from the moment the name of the club was announced, if you bring the result I will bring my kids down to suncorp to shake your hand.

[@crypt0bank446]

Panthers will win 4 in a row.

[@darshin95]

doubt it, 2020 all over again

[@malakyeingram5927]

[@deeessaye5583]

GUS needs to be an immortal. Such a nice guy. Met him at Game 2 this year in Melbourne walking outside the MCG like he was a normal guy. I called out for a photo and he said he remembered me from inside the MCG. We lost the game but he made the experience worth it.

[@kw5732]

Love him or hate him, Gus is a massive part of NSW rugby league. Push for the new Blues coach.

[@DisFan1996]

Whoever Joey tips, tip the opposite

[@Br0wnCh3]

Newcastle to win this week vs the offseason.

[@DisFan1996]

[@warrenturner397]

For anyone who doesn't know here's how you conduct a review. 1. Appoint someone from outside your organisation. 2. Tell them what result you want. 3. You get the results of your "independent" review. 4. Announce the result of the EXTERNAL review. 5. Tell everyone how transparent you've been. End of. Are they going to sack the players who had woeful performances? Too much emphasis given to the comments of players who felt they were bullied because the coach told them what to do, e.g. "No you can't go to get a makeover you have to come to training". Hope they appoint an Under 14 assistant coach because there are a lot of younger players in that squad who need to learns how to pass balls, catch balls, etc. etc. Also hope Maguire has got a pass to kick a lot of them up the arse because Kevvie obviously didn't. P.S. compare the players' attitude to the Dolphins who played with guts all year and never gave up. I know a lot of emphasis is put on the coach getting players up for a game but I think if a player can't motivate himself there's a problem there somewhere.

[@abdul_grizzley]

Next year should be these four

[@bernyoz]

Sick of these presenters asking the question and then attempting to answer it for them. Ask, then shut up

[@winchesterdown]

Johns needs to be fired from weather reporting. Freddy too. The temperature will not get down to 12°C during the game. His chart said 22°C at 8pm Sunday. Weather forecast is 19°C by 10pm. 12° will be the early Monday morning temp occuring while one team is partying hard.

[@mitchellmyerson4304]

Panthers by 10 points and Medal of Grand final is Nathan Cleary

[@dubbkenobby6542]

"Medal of Grand Final" hahahahahahaha you're either a literal child or hardcore casual 🤣🤣

[@davidbrain1192]

I don't get how the panthers aren't favourites they have won 3 GF's in a row and I agree with the 10+ points winning margin but it wouldn't surprise me if the riff win by more and the Clive Churchill medal will probably go to Edwards or Yeo.

[@malakyeingram5927]

No

[@jj2635]

The same thing happened to Taylan May a few years back. They let him serve his 2 game suspension the following season☠️

[@deborahvenet-sanos8584]

Good man Joey , 😊😊

[@YESITSHISTORY]

Freddy what is your thoughts on Taylan May off field suspension in 2022? Ivan & his offical mates happy to defer his suspension the following season for him to be available for that GF?

[@bushybill7189]

Trent Barrett has had several chances to prove he has what it takes to be a head coach and failed each time. Origin is not the place for him to try again.

[@jaromeasdale7157]

Slater should have missed the GF for the shoulder charge as well. Would have been 3 storm players to miss grand finals through suspension. Maybe don't be play like grubs.

[@Scooty_Scooty]

NRL deferred a Panthers player suspension before the finals because the fans deserved to him play, he was going to be made to serve it the next season but then got injured. Shows who the NRL favours when it's rules for one clubs player but not another clubs.

[@BillScobie-u8x]

Dam straight. The nrl love panthers. I bet the refs will too come this Sunday

OK this is how it works. As soon as a vid has finished uploading, utube makes it available in 360p SD. Meanwhile, they're processing it up to 1080p HD. This can take hours. If you go to the 'Settings' gearwheel you can manually change from SD to HD, but only if it's available.

[@youchwb6005]

Never forget the 2003 grand final breakfast when both teams were lined up on the stage, and Gowie was giving death stares to Freddy. In comparison, last night's Messenger Awards night showed how nervous the Storm players were, and how cool and calm the Panthers looked. Yea, Penrith have won this well before kick off.👹👹👹☠☠☠
