The epic final 10 minutes of the 2023 NRL Grand Final | Telstra Premiership

[@pochonsauriroalili7938]

At 4:53 Chricton kicks straight into the arms of Cobbo and is held back by Brisbane defenders. Watch the work from Scott Sorrenson, he quickly plugs the gap where Chrichton would have been defending, Cobbo looks up sees him, hesitates and Crichton is able to recover and make the tackle. Its the 73rd minute, Sorrenson is fatigued but makes the effort to be there, if he isn't Cobbo probably runs 90ms and scores game over. It's efforts like this that make Penrith a champion team.

The moment Cleary broke through and setup Leota, he became possessed. What an incredible performance from him, the 40/20, catching Reynolds drop out on the full, converts Crichtons try and scores the winner himself. Immortal

[@someoneunseen5168]

Best player in the league currently. An immortal? Not yet. Do that in origin and he will be.

[@jamesc1760]

He was totally possessed! Possessed by the rugby league gods!

[@thomasrodwell563]

@someoneunseen5168 Winning Grand Finals is 10x harder than winning origin. Not Cleary's fault that NSW have had an inept coach for the past 6 years.

[@AGTV10]

Possessed? The only thing possessing him is a banana on his chin. Broncos were their own enemy. They allowed the panthers to score on the back of so many errors. So no cleary like tedesco hynes and Munster would’ve done the exact same thing. If you watched the game you would’ve seen when the broncos were in their season form in the middle of the match they dominated your little possessed boy and the panthers. So no your wrong just admit it the broncos were their own enemy.

Close to the greatest Grand Final I've ever seen. 1997, 2003, 2015 and 2016 were all amazing, but this is just about the best of the lot, and I'm a St George fan. Super happy that a great NSW team like Penrith won it all.

[@connorism69]

The last try reminded me a lot of the one from 1997.

[@jnic2165]

89 is still the greatest , but this certainly ranks up there !

[@The_Last_Ninja]

1997 was best as the scores were level and the try was scored on full time and after a field goal attempt was charged down the play beforehand. The man in both of those plays, Andrew Jones. He takes the field goal attempt and then passes to Darren Albert who finds the gap and scores to win the game, just unbelievable. But this one is the best of this generation, without a doubt!

[@karamelileasi9973]

Renoylds choked on big games. He even did when the Rabbitohs made finals against the Panthers, when he missed the drop kick. This time he missed a crucial tackle on Cleary and he drop kick the ball out on the full. Anyways, nextyear will be Broncons year. I remember the Panthers had a young team and they built a alot of confidence throughout the years and mantained a positive mindset towards winning, few years later they won 3 consecutive championships. So, hold your head up high Broncos, you have a young team. So build up your confidence move forward, take the loss as a lesson to be better nextyear. BRONCOS will come back stronger nextyear i guarantee it 100%.
