All I can say, is that the coach, the players, and everyone involved with the Penrith Panthers are an incredible example, for all of the Australian youth, who aspire to play professional Footy. These men are truly examples to be admired … From an American who loves watching NRL Footy

[@dbo4506]

@@Hanzothagod down by 16… line break try assist. 40-20. Side line conversion with a mountain of pressure. Try saving cover tackle with game on the line. Then game winning try. That is one of the best performances we’ve ever seen. Cope pal. Broncos were dominating that half and had all the momentum. That isn’t all on Cleary. Broncos just played great all night. And when it mattered Cleary still minced them.

[@hansneggs]

Yeah. When Cleary goes into flow state he really punishes. That shows his calibre . even in origin . When he flows well his side always scores quick and plenty . Look at the huge points difference in panthers attack defence . Nathan can ascend !

@tytutu9625 agreed, I'm a fan of many years, I'm not from the 'Heartlands' of the game here in the UK but got into the game in the late 1980's and even then the game was fast, some of those runs from Leota and Flegler were insane!

[@tytutu9625]

@@danielbate13 Yes that is many years! I was born in 1994 lol you’ve been watching it longer than I’ve been alive. I can’t really remember what exact year I first seen a game in the NRL but it was between the St George Illawarra Dragons vs South Sydney Rabbitohs because I lived in Waterloo/Redfern area (South Sydney Rabbitohs Area) but I supported the St George Illawarra Dragons because my Mums cousin played for the St George Illawarra Dragons, do you remember Lee Hookey? He was a Centre that also played in the Super League after he played in the NRL. I would’ve first started watching the NRL between 2000-2003 when Lee played for the Dragons. And yes they do say back in the day they played the game harder but yesterday night was the first time in a while I’ve seen 2 teams go at it with each other like that!

Cleary finally had his moment. He always has great games. Best half of this era. But he has never grabbed a huge game by the throat like he did in that GF. That was something else. Individually dominated the end of that game. Like break try assist. 40-20. Side line conversation with allllllll the pressure. Then the game winning try. And a couple huge try saving tackles in there too. Insane. Absolutely insane.
