| Disappointing end for both Blore and Watson, probably wish they had signed for us now.

| Imagine how good Penrith would be if they had been able to keep all their players (Crichton, Burton, etc.).
Amazing success in a salary cap era.

French is a fantastic player but that move for his try he has done several times before.
Leigh fans are good and usually have no axe to grind about players leaving.
Asiata apart it shows what a load of crap we have signed from Leigh.
Chamberlain on a 3 year contract is a joke

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

| Quote: WIZEB "Penrith are a juggernaut, greatest club team ever.
I'd take any of their 17.'"
This is one of those subjective questions with no real answer as we can't pit sides from the past against teams from the present, but it's a discussion we all love to have.
I would pick out three outstanding club sides from the past forty or so years:
Parramatta 1981-83, Wigan 1990-94, Penrith 2021-24.
Each of them were dominant, each were packed full of superstar players, each set a benchmark for others to follow.
Wigan's achievements were slightly skewed due to having a massive financial advantage over everyone which allowed them to cherry pick everyone else's best players thereby weakening their main opposition, but they unquestionably contained some of the finest players of the early nineties.
The great Parramatta side (the only other team apart from Penrith to complete a hat-trick of NSW/NRL victories since the late sixties) came about due to a freakish collection of young players all coming through together (Ella, Grothe, Kenny, Sterling). The bizarre thing about them was that, apart from this period (roughly 76-86 in total), Parramatta have effectively amounted to very little throughout the rest of their history, generally being no more than bit-part players in most seasons.
One of the commentators, at the end of today's game, said that winning four in a row shouldn't be possible in the modern day salary cap sport. Players are also more inclined to switch clubs than they were in years gone by.
Given the context, circumstances and standards of today's NRL, I think today's historic win does probably make Penrith the greatest RL club side of the past fifty years.
Any comparisons with a team pre-1970 (possibly even pre-1980) is largely fatuous as we really are talking about a wholly different sport, certainly a more brutal one!! Teams from the 1960s would have had their own special ways of dealing with someone like Nathan Cleary!!

That's if their beer-bellies could get anywhere near to 'dealing' with him.
Glad you partially agree.

I was at the match last night and they are a superb team. Have been a season ticket holder at Penrith since joining their Leagues Club in 2000 when I departed our house near Cronulla and took up residence in the Blue Mountains.
With the loss this season of Crichton and Leniu I thought they could not win this year and actually tipped the Storm to beat them on another RL forum. The last team to beat them in a GF was Melbourne back in 2020 so this was sweet revenge!
They have lost another 3 influential players for next season.
I have recently moved again to the Mid- North coast so have given up my season ticket but will continue to go to all future GF's.

Not sure where this financial advantage comes from? It was a case of speculate to accumulate, everyone could have done what we did, but we were the only club with the bottle to do it.

I have a suspicion that some clubs didn't lack bottle but money.
It's all a bit before my time though.

Erm no, Maurice Lyndsey had the cash and he splashed it. Same as FC in the late 70’s early 80’s. We signed players to stop other teams getting them.
