To be fair Rikii was uncontested and should have just caught the ball.
Also how do we go the short drop out and not have anyone behind for the batt back.
Walsh was under the sticks and never moved, like he didn't know it was on.
Mitch Kenny positioned himself on the off chance he would get a crumb and we had nobody.

Even if we win it next year, this still wouldn't be the worst prediction made this year.

Had a few montages planned after this game. Mainly Walsh and one of the season we've had similar to the one I did in '15.
Not sure I can put in the effort to make them anymore after tonight,.

Maybe tomorrow? I know I for one would love to see it. Been a hell of a season despite the brutal result tonight.

Think we’d all still like to watch them
I think that will naturally happen, and it will largely be player led. With maturity and experience, we will become more clinical on both sides of the ball for the full 80 minutes. This team is full of kids who are still a few years away from really being established nrl players. We have a scary team on our hands, and we are not even close to being at our best. We are learning on the job, and this team will learn from their mistakes and will get better.

My thoughts are that short drop outs are a low percentage play. Defending your line really takes gas out of the tank where as a long drop out only gives the opposition 2-3 tackles on your line not a complete set. Getting the kicks wrong is a gift 2 points for the opposition. I'm not saying don't use them but mixing them up makes you less predictable.

Imagine being the guy who scored a hat-trick in a GF and lost.
What should've been one of the great grand final moments ruined
I disagree. I’m heartbroken and May cry myself to bed later on lol but I think this team has huge potential. You have to remember Penrith lost a GF then won the next year so just because you’ve lost a GF doesn’t mean you won’t ever get the chance again. These boys are young and hungry and will want to make sure they get the job done next time. It will be difficult but I believe in them. This team is insane and they are The strongest team besides Penrith.

Did Ezra miss a game this year? Looked busted some games but never quit. to score three tries in a grand final though… is this his arrival to the elite?

Very sad about the game and now very pissed off to see a lot of you turn on this team, especially Reynolds who turned us around.

THIS is exactly right. GF's don't happen every season and when we get the opportunity to play in one, you just have to nail it. We have let slip the previous 2 GF's.

Milford's career went on a downward spiral after the 2015 GF, he was easily the best player on the ground that night.
Hopefully Ezra's goes the other way.

I believe so, yes. He is a classic instinctual "play what's in front of you" number 6. Knows how to find a line break out of nothing and has crazy pace when he does. The rest of the team let him down tonight.
