Penrith Panthers v Brisbane Broncos | Match Highlights | NRL Grand Final, 2023 

To win the NRL grand final is an amazing achievement. To win 3 in a row unbelievable. To be down 24-8 with 20 minutes to go in a grand final and comeback to win we may never see again. Surely one of the greatest rugby league teams ever...brilliant match.

This Grand final was like an Hollywood movie script and the main actor (Nathan Cleary) steered his team who were down on troops injured, points and belief. He carried that team in the final 15minutes. Probably the greatest half back performance of all time. He just booked himself a seat to share the immortality with Joey Johns in the halfback category.

Moses Leota is up there with Haas on my book…so underrated..he’s a machine who can snap blokes and runs harder than anyone..the last 20mins along with cleary he was a beast

Oh my this is on of the greatest finals ive ever seen, love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

That 40/20 changed everything

Nathan Cleary showed why he is the best halfback. Stepping up when the team needed him the most. Inspiring stuff from the captain

Fantastic game. Nathan Cleary with possibly the greatest grand final performance ever. Ezra mam hattrick. Adam Gee did a great job, one of the best games ever!

That was the greatest come back in nrl grand final history.

Most clinical performance by a 7 in 15 mins. Well deserved Nathan Cleary 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Huge shout out to the ref. Flawless performance without any controversy. Its not everday you see a referee demonstrate this much integrity in the Nrl 😂

Broncos were winning 24-8 at minute 60 of the game. How Penrith pulled a win with 26-24 with only 20 minutes left is simply unheard of. This is why they are 3 time undisputed grand finalists.

Penrith just played a game that will echo in eternity ...this is stuff that legends are based on....wow..😮

Adam Reynolds couldn't even acknowledge Penrith Panthers, winning 3 GFs in a row? The greatest team of the modern NRL era and greatest ever comeback in a grand final.

One of the great grand finals. Brilliance from Broncos to seemingly put the game out of reach, but then Panthers came back from the end of the earth. Stunning fairy tale finish by Cleary to claim 3 peat

As a broncos fan, I experienced 2015 all over again. Well done to the broncos for trying their very best, especially Mam with those tries. I really thought we had this grand final. Panthers probably had their best grand final ever. Good Luck to Panthers and Broncos Next year❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥

The greatest grand final comeback ever!

Absolutely unbelievable! Cleary and Crighton were clutch!!!

That crighton kick and then the chase for the in goal was crucial. You also can't sleep on cleary running the ball near the try line. Reminds me on how he nearly pulled a comeback at the 2020 grand final against the storm. What a truly epic final

Cleary -- Future Immortal This come back was something else 💯👍

As a Parra fan, congrats to our father. Can't hate anymore, what a ridiculous achievement. Haas and Flegler were too much for the Penrith bench forwards, but that changed as soon as Leota and Fish came back on. One of the greatest prop duo's of all time.

Broncos fan, absolutely gutted. Would love to see where the Cleary haters are at now though. No Luai or Yeo during the majority of the comeback, looked impossible to win too.

If you wanted an advertisement of how good this game CAN BE - this is it. One of the best games of footy ever.

You could see Cleary was so focused after the leota try. He knew it was his game Well played indeed

Leota’s try gave hope and Cleary didn’t give up. What a comeback🐾

Wahs fan here, this is not only hands down the best rugby league game from any team this year, but the best rugby league game in recent memory. This is better than the Cows vs Broncos which was amazing itself. Both these teams played incredible and neither team deserved to lose. Hard luck Broncos, and congrats to Penrith on the 3peat! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cleary set new benchmark for the GOATS,credits to Edward,Leota,and Chricta for stepping up.Glad to watch this new history unveiling.

Shoutout to the referee, he was on point with no mistakes at all and the game went smoothly . What a match what a grand final 🔥🔥

Adam Reynolds dropout kicks were absolutely shocking. Well played by both sides for the most part and impeccable comeback by the pahs, perfectly showcased by Cleary. What a game, a classic! 🔥

Now thats what you call a Grand Final. On fire Panthers with the 3peat baby!! Ill miss Crittaa and Spencer 😢❤

What a game! What a comeback! What a team! What a halfback! What a sport!

Penrith Panthers with the greatest comeback in an NRL Grand Final and securing their 3-peat. What a club. Hats off to all the Panthers but great effort from the Brisbane Broncos.

Cleary's response to missing that tackle leading to Broncos' last try is phenomenal. He played the last 20 min like a madman. Nice example of how to turn one's frustration in to success.

Critta coming in just as clutch as cleary

One of the most intense grand finals in NRL history

You could tell the commentators were hoping the Broncos would win. The excitement in ALL their voices when the score was 24 - 8, to the slow realisation when the Panthers came back from the dead.

I you had to pick a moment that turned a game.... a 40-20 kick on the 3rd tackle at 10 points down. It was a gutsy play that had to be executed perfectly. Without that kick they may have let the game slip away from them. Nathan Cleary stood up at the right time and proved he is one of the best half-backs of all time.

One of the best grand finals in a long time. Critchon applying pressure!!

Leota as support player scoring a try is insane for a prop.

What a game Penrith Panthers. From 24-8, 16 points led by the Broncos to a 26-24 victory is a memorable moment that will never be forgotten. Credits to Nathan Cleary for two try assists with one try scoring that gave the Panthers win 3 in a row. Congratulations Nathan and the Panthers.

What a comeback from the panthers, Amazing. Watching it live made it so much better

Panther speed switched on at 3/4 mark, astonishing to watch. Some unforced errors during the momentum creating opportunities for playmaker Cleary nullifying the score gap to +2, incredulous, NRL entertainment gone crazy. Congrats to both teams making the GF2023.

This Grand Final broke so many records. -Stephen Crichton scored in four straight Grand Finals -Biggest comeback since the 1999 Grand Final -Ezra Mam first player to score a hat trick in a losing team -First Threepeat since 1981-83 Absolutely magical performance from Penrith I can't believe they actually pulled that off

Great performance by the Panthers and the Broncos, these are the games which were absolutely nail biting, and the last try delivered by Nathan was astonishing. ❤ Go PANTHERS!

I don’t watch any NRL but even I know this is an unbelievable comeback. Sporting comebacks bring fans together ❤️

Cleary absolutely redeemed himself in the comeback all the Mam tries were from his mis tackles

It's incredible how Penrith came back from that eight all the way to twenty six that's just a miracle

As a proud Bulldogs supporter, Huge congratulations to the Panthers for getting the 3 peat. From 24 - 8 down to one of the greatest comebacks I have ever seen. They showed great resilience and never gave up. Nathan Cleary is the one and only king of Penrith, a player who will always strive for success and will never give up. This is truly one of the greatest Grand Finals I have ever witnessed, congrats again to the Panthers, well deserved win.

Great Ref alowed the game to flow

What a game, after 40 years the panthers have done it, sadly spencer leniu and stephen crighton are leaving, we'll never forget this grand final, a comeback from penrith

Something out of this world, from 24-8, making a comeback in 20 mins is unbelievable! Go the PANTHERS♥️💛💚🖤What a way to get a 3peat!

That was the greatest game of rugby league I've ever watched, only fitting for Cleary to score the winning try. LETS GO PANTHERS🥳

Championship Panthers. When the games on the line its what's between the ears that matters most. Cleary take a bow. Stephen Critta you'll be missed next year uso. Haas, Leota, Critta, Tago, Luai, To'o, May...can only imagine a Toa Squad being so dominant up front with firepower out back to match. What a game it would be if our island nation had the money to pay you well usos!

Nathan Cleary take a bow! That was one of the most clutch performances I have ever seen in the biggest game of the year

Thank you 2023 broncos. For finally taking the crown from Ben hunts 2015 drop ball. Instead of one person dropping the ball, the whole team "dropped the ball". Absolutely embarrassing game to fall after such a lead. Biggest choke in history.

another reason why the NRL is the pinnacle of the sport , i live in scotland and watch both the Superleague in UK and NRL in Aus , the intensity and physicality and crowd interaction makes it an absolute pleasure to watch .

There’s always next year Broncs i’m so proud of y’all looking forward to next year GO THE BRONCS 🔥🔥 and congrats Penriths 👏🏾🎉

Rooster fan. But that was special. Congrats both teams on giving us an epic.

OMG!!! A Masterful comeback by the Panthers. What a game!!! I thought the Broncos had it in the bag. Please upload the full game onto RU-vid.

Cleary's last 17 minutes was the greatest individual performance in Grand Final history 🐐

Great final this was.. Ezra Mam...great performance and hat trick of tries Nathan Cleary...simply a legend now And this Panthers team..a full blown dynasty now no doubt..they're like the 90s Bulls of the modern NRL era.

Nathan Cleary will always be the King of the Panthers for all Panthers generations to come

Its in the ring when the odds are against you that the true champions rise up. In the heat of the moment when his team needed him the most Cleary stepped up and saved the day. That 40/20 was beautiful, that try was pure determination. Inspirational last 20 minutes. Never give up and never lose hope 💯🔥

Wow!!!! What a Final!!! This is one if not the greatest final in NRL history by a loooong shot. Panthers will go down as the greatest NRL team. When broncos was winning with 24 points, I actually thought that was it. But that bounce back was the greatest of all time.

Que gran partido! Felicitaciones a los dos equipos por dejarlo todo y brindarnos un espectaculo maravilloso

Great full to be alive to witness the best team in the modern era..Go the mighty Panthers 💯💥🔥..Cleary definitely redeemed himself for the 3 mam tries that came of his miss tackles...💯💥🔥

Too good my Panthers! Never doubted you… up there Panthers

What a comeback

What a game! Some incredible individual performances in this match but seriously, this takes Nathan Cleary to another level. Likely greatest career of all time incoming.

One of the best come backs to ever watch! What Nathan Clearly did 24-8 down at 62 min mark and carry his team to a 3-peat is more than remarkable! What an absolute champion player displaying a master class!💯🏆👏

Two of the best afl and nrl grand finals ever this weekend. Congratulations Panthers. Possibly the best team of this generation.

Congratulations, Panthers! Four Grand Finals in a row, back-to-back minor premiers, and now three premierships in a row! They have won the greatest Grand Final since 2015, possibly ever! Simply a herculean effort and one of the great sporting achievements of this modern era, and they’ve done it largely off the back of their iron wall of defence. They lost many players since the 2020 GF and if they had backed off or become complacent at any point, they don’t win three in a row. Simply one of the most dominant teams of the entire NRL era. If they can keep their core guys like Cleary and Edwards, I can see them daring to dream of further glory. Nathan Cleary surely has cemented himself into claiming Grand Final and rugby league immortality. This club has done some amazing things and it will probably be a long time before we see anything like it again. They will be remembered forever.

My team eventually won, but it was really a huge victory for Australian Rugby League. The skills and grit on display were both entertaining and inspiring. I needed this after the shocking Wallabies campaign at the RWC in France.

What a game awesome grand final 🔥

Critta also had played a huge part in the final minutes by the kick and chase he done back to back.

After going to half of the Panthers games at home this year the Panthers sure did save the best for last. Thanks for the great game Broncos! I'm off to Panthers league's club today!

The Panthers are the NRL's New England Patriots and Nathan Cleary is the NRL's Tom Brady. This comeback is 28-3 stuff!!!

That choke is just shameful, honestly. Up by 16, and the Broncos just gave up. Doubt they'll get the opportunity again, either. Congrats to the Panthers though, best team of the modern NRL.

what a phenomenal comeback with cleary clutching the game. They well deserve the W, great game though broncos. This match is up there with Rabbitohs vs Panthers grand finale.

The proudest dad tonight is Nathan's😭....Congrats pentha's❤🎉

Wow Wow Wow. I’ve never enjoyed a game of League better than that. Just incredible athletes, both teams.

i swear this is like a game that you would imagine playing in, in your backyard.

Nathan Cleary is an outright CHAMPION . Unbelievable Game !

Congratulations mighty Penrith Panthers Premieres (PPP😊) 2023!!! Awesome play team especially the Panthers Prince Nathan Cleary.

As a neutral heart broken for the bronx but Penrith are just just ruthless. That poor completion first half meant the tank was on empty last 10mins. What a game though!! Btw Walsh’s step on Cleary 😱

What a great weekend of sport Down Under with both this and the AFL clash yesterday,2 terrific Grand Finals.

Will be hard pressed to see 2 great Grand finals in the same year again to match these. Well done to the Panthers, amazing team

Congratulations to both teams for a great game, one of the the best I've seen..

This is probably the most soul-crushing defeat in grand final history. The second short-dropout from Reynolds ended up costing them a premiership.

What a game, what a team what a grand final. Panthers are that team unbelievable

NRL has in my opinion become the most entertaining and dramatic competition of either code and quite possibly in all professional sport - truly outstanding.

Broncos are very skillful at losing Grand Finals in the last few minutes.

Greatest final since 2015! Truly one of the great modern NRL sides.

Nathan Cleary with a goat moment up the panthers 🎉🎉

To be fair, before this 3peat, Panthers lost to the storms in the final. Only to come back and go 3 straight. I guess you gotta know what it’s like to lose in times like this to be able to respect the win and attain it. Who knows.

I am absolutely gutted as a Bronco supporter! we had them and then we let them in but it was a pheromonal game and I'm hoping it's the same two next year!

Outstanding game of football from both teams congrats Penrith on the 3 peat and Nathan Cleary on becoming the 3rd player to win the Clive Churchill Medal twice. Adam Gee for his first Grand Final did a fantastic job

greatest Grand Final comeback in NRL history

Please upload the full game asap !! What a game

Brilliant Panthers, certainly the best team in the NRL era!!! post a longer version of highlights please.

Nathan Cleary = Immortal!
