Historic Panthers | Panthers v Raiders Match Mini | Grand Final, 1991 | NRL 

Probably my favourite grand final of all time. Canberra were a machine but Penrith showed true grit. So many big moments I say all this as a Dragons tragic. I was brought up on footy in the late 80s early 90s and nothing compares. Just look at those star studded lineups and where they are today. Geniuses Greatest game of all!!

Now that a game of footy. No block plays and good ball play. The atmosphere was amazing

I saw 57 head highs and 64 six agains by todays standards.

that fittler tackle on Mal!! ooft

Mal really wasn’t too bothered about those conversions

The golden era... 1988-1992. The younger ones now will never know.

I was 10 years old watching that game. We were really under the pump in the first half against a great Canberra side. Penrith was the Minor Premiers though and we had a week off and narrowly beat Norths in the semis and then another week off so we were fresh, while Canberra had done it the hard way, winning 3 sudden death duels from 4th place. From memory the Raiders had Daley and Stuart carrying injuries. It was still very tough to beat them but we just persisted with so much ball and forcing drop outs in the second half. Eventually they ran out of juice under so much pressure and those magic tries to Izzard and Roycey happened and Brandy’s FG and sideline conversion. Roycey or Brandy deserved the CC medal in my opinion but Clyde won it. The problem was I think they decided the award before the match had even finished.. can’t explain that.

i still remember this grand final the most..cause of greg alexander brother passing away the very next day :(

Fact that no one in Meningas career told him he doesn’t know how to take goal kicks is unbelievable

WHOS PUMPED FOR RABBITS VS PENRITH!!

I still think the second try Wood scored in the 1991 grand final is one of the best I've seen from a pure football point of view considering the play before and how quickly they adjusted to the next play. Play before the try Walters, Stuart, Daley, Meninga, Belcher and finally to Martin. The play was for Meninga to hit Belcher into a hole. The Penrith defence converged across. Next play Belcher DH, Stuart, Daley, Meninga, Clyde into the hole and Wood scores. Stuart, Daley and Meninga all remained in that order playing both sides of the field. Just the best.

That Izzard try was epic

How our Royce didn't get the Clive Churchill is beyond me. He may not have got the Clive Churchill but he was still man of the match.

He need more 90's finals footy uploads in HD PLEASE! Hi from Papua New Guinea!

My first grand final to watch

Back when teams really used their backlines, unlike today when wingers have to come in to get the ball

How good was Ricky Stuart's kicking game?! His kick for Canberra's first try was sublime.

Penrith stopped Canberra from winning three consecutive grand finals

Love Big MG’s fire. Not many players like him these days. Just wish he’d clocked Wally😀

Meninga, Ricky, belcher, Clyde, Daley, walters, Glenn. They’re like the galactacos at Madrid circa 2000

Bob Hawke was Mr.Everwhere as far as sporting events were concerned.

its always a great GF when teams win their first GF. as a Warriors tragic Im still waiting and hoping

Meninga just side footed conversions into the grand stand...

30 years anniversary later they did it again 2021

This game always stood out. Great GF!

This is going be good

Daley and Stuart on 1 leg. Clyde goes outside to Wood instead of inside to Mark Bell, he scores under the posts, Lazarus went the wrong way coming back in to the traffic, if he goes wide they score. Canberra should've been 24-6 up at half time, then game over! But these late 80's/early90's GF's were the best without peer. These days if someone breaks the small toenail it's on report!

Alright cool, thanks for uploading ANOTHER Panthers Match...Maybe re-upload the 2014 Rabbitohs Grand Final or something? Geez, can't believe the bias towards Penrith!

Canberra limped into this GF but Penrith definitely deserved win. Best Team all year in 1991 and better team on the day.

5:20 "Mark Geyer's in trouble with the referee" 🤣🤣🤣 When wasn't big MG in trouble with the referee 🤣🤣🤣 Still a legend though.

*When Conversion Kicks were Different:*

The mullets!!!!

8:37 That Raiders player lost it cold.

They didnt show the Lazarus burst in the first half. Where he had only the fullback to beat and Clyde on the inside. He didnt pass and a certain try was lost. It would have made the score 18-6 with the conversion. And Penrith would have been sunk.

Panthers first win since 1991

turning point at 6:20 and 7:20 mark Faders could have gone up 16-6 there, Mark Geyer sin bin then comes back and sets up the 2 trys

Feel like a winnie red now.

Great GF this one. 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️👍🏻😊

Panthers on top💯🏈🏆🥇

Back to back hopefully this time Panthers!! go 2022 GF against the Eels.

Royce Simmonds….unstoppable 🤷‍♂️

As tough as they come. When the game was not so soft. Lesss go Panthers.

Panthers

Mark Geyer was lucky they won. From the highlights here he was pretty poor. Filter was awesome, wonder what happened to him.

Penrith got robbed of a try and a man in the bin for nothing! Glad it didn’t cost them the game!

BRING BACK GRAHAM HUGHES!!!

Bingeing on some great games. Just watched 2009 Storm vs Broncos. Storm won in the last second. On the Bell semi final win. But Storm got thrashed 40 nil by Manly in the GF. Ennis the menace was with the Broncos. Absolute pest, he was.

Raiders carrying injuries.
