Penrith Panthers v Parramatta Eels | Match Highlights | Finals Week 1, 2022 | NRL 

Penriths defence as well as nathans performance won them the game tonight. Best defence Ive seen all year from them.

As an Eels fans, I'm not to upset by this loss. Any team would have lost tonight the way Panthers played. This was THE game to lose if you lose any finals game. Eels can now bounce back next week against Storm/Raiders and build on tonight. Panthers just had too much to prove tonight. Still hopefull. 🙏🏽

Great win Panthers! Eels fought very hard for the first 60 minutes but they got run over late. Cleary was a masterclass, and had a hand in almost all their points. Just two games away from a back to back premiership.

Cleary went insane at the end

That was a bit unfair on May. They should have let him serve the 10mins next year. 🤣

Wel Nathan Cleary needed the time off Panthers just look so much more stronger to handle pressure games. Definitely the team to beat If you want to win the premiership.

Nathan Cleary too good💪

Good win panthers. Iam a really big fan💜

On ya Panthers 💯🇦🇺

There was plenty of pressure on Cleary’s kick Blake was just not having a Goodnight

Parramatta are the North Sydney Bears of the 1990s. Look good in the regular rounds and can beat the top teams but come finals for whatever reason it doesn't happen.

Cleary was brilliant. Blake is Parra's weak link - three dropped balls. He doesn't make up for it by being a genius try scorer so just get a solid defender in there. I'm sick of worrying every time something goes in his direction.

Nathan Cleary is the best half-back since Andrew Johns. The Penrith machine at their ruthless best.

Both of the Eels wins against the Panthers were very low scoring games. The Panthers are an incredible team and Parra played really well for the first half but the panthers were just too good, Cleary really made the difference tonight, such a insane player. Let's go, Western Sydney for the premiership. Eels still have a chance but the top 8 are all really strong teams.

Awesome win Panthers ..Eels had no chance..Nor did the crowd 😜

When you can't stand Riff, but you can't stand Parra either.... and can't decide which one you want to lose the most. Fair go to Riff though, they're on fire.

Go the Panthers all day

Well done Panthers

Yeah the panthers

Best ever!

been waiting fn 36 Years!, Ya get used to it!. Good luck next week Boys, GO EELS!.

Best team in thr league so far 🖤🤍♥️💛💚

Once Moses got knocked out and come off Parra was going to lose, Arthur come on and Cleary sliced through him 2 minutes later. Whilst Moses is no Cleary he is still the backbone of the Eels and is a great kicker, runner and defender.

Its official Panthers vs Eels 2022 GF

Come on eels Make it happen on your last chance

Parramatta could play Penrith 25 times in the regular season & beat them all 25 rounds, yet when it comes to finals time they lose the games that matter. Also didn’t Luai fumble the ball in Penriths first try, not that it would’ve mattered in the end, they were far too strong tonight.

Best 7 in the world?!

Excuse my ignorance, but can anyone please tell me the date that the dally m medal will be handed out? I've tried many searches on google, but couldn't find anything.

Les Go panthers, M orait nau. Thumbs 👆

Moses now leads his people to Glory land next week. Can't wait. Go Parra

Panther's all day baby 🤣🤣

Panthers..My boys..

950,00 people all moving overseas from New Zealand. Hardly any business left nzwide.

Outstanding game from Nathan, never skipped a beat, try saving tackle against Sivo etc. refs ‘missing’ SO much from Parra early on tryna make the game ‘closer’ I reckon, didn’t like seeing Mitch go off like that but tbh it was his own fault and we were on the front foot already by then, nobody wants to see us atm, fxckin back to back Prem’s baby YEIIIUWWW!!!

Thank god Taylan had a rough night because imagine the noise on the NRL if he had won them the game. Still makes no sense that he was allowed to play but Penrith could have had a traffic cone on that wing and won tonight

The GF is over. Panthers will win it. The other matches though will be great. I'm thinking the match that has the team who will go to play the Panthers as the GF. Nathen is fresh use the 5 weeks off well.

Let’s go panthers

UP THE PENRITH PANTHERS

Parra making up the numbers again.

Parramatta pretenders again 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

panthers defended against sivo well.

Well done! Another week rest.

Is there a reason Arthur picks Makatoa on the bench and gives him 10 minutes at the end of the game instead of Brown who can play big minutes? Also Blake when Simonsson was fit? Eels good enough to win the whole thing but need to get those small things right.

Soon as Moses went off, Parra were done.

Not a eels or panthers fan but the way I see it eels chances of winning this game was slim to none. All year long their highest winning streak was maximum of 3 wins and they've had that on one or more occasions. This was just not going to be their night and even the NRL punters and analysts saw it coming. However, it's good they lost now because that would mean they can bounce back next week and go on another streak to win the premiership. The only two thing that stands in their way is Mitch moses coming back to full fitness and Melbourne if they win and are in full strength. Just my theory.

why did the second high tackle not get 10 in the bin, no better or worse than the first?

Eels decided to try a trick shot. Winning a game with one out hitups, not utilising their backline and having zero second phase play. Good work choker eels

Was there only 1 sin bin? Just in the highlights there were 3 high tackles with force...

🖤❤️💛💚

Good win but hopefully someone new wins it maybe sharks or raiders or my storm

Les go panthers but you did very good

Waqa Blake is the best winger in the NRL😜

PARRA tried hope we can beat Melbourne or Canberra💙💛💙💛

play the physic...moses plays next friday -6 days of trying to heal a serious head injury- gets seriously hurt in another tackle -off the field - parra down to 12 -get beaten by 20-30 points.

As expected parramatta choking Quick get the oxygen

I went for eels but one Nathan pass he knocked on red dint see go michel Moses I hop he better I m going eels again vs Penrith vs eels again

People will say Blake had a shocker but the real problem is Dylan brown did nothing? He was missing ALL Game! Probably still on the bus!

To highlight the hypocrisy of the NRL, they allowed May to play, even though he attacked someone from behind. But when he hit a player on the jaw while facing him, they sent him to the sin bin straight away.

If the Eels were smart, they would have let the Storm win, so that the Cowboys would played a hungry Panthers side, instead of them...

Nathan Cleary😳

Nathan 👌back

maybe if parramatta stanned twice

will it be same at GF!? Go Panthers

Eels are done! New coach/players needed.

This is the game the eels fans dont want to remember,lol

Panthers to win 13 plus? Probably not.. there's a few injuries this week. Sportsbet!

Finally not a rigged panthers vs eels game l go panthers

Does this mean eels are out of the finals?

Eels V Refs and Panthers

Parra can't defend the line with 13 let alone 12

Blake did too many mistake

panthers one top 😏👌

Poor performance by the Eels, they claimed to be the only team in the competition to beat the Panthers but they proof us wrong. Junior Polou unfit, they should rest him next week I suggest.

Panthers will beat Parramatta by 20 points in the Grand final easy.

inb4 all the butthurt league fans from other clubs claiming the Panthers won because of the ref.

Go the panthers

+13 🇵🇬

Parramatta didn’t stand a chance

Sixth

Ref not red

Parramatta,... do not let your fans down... play football this finals and do it well... I do not want to go in for the support and come out loosing... you have been unfaithful to me enough... I will not forgive you for a loose next week ... F...

World cup seven fiji games

I would have watched the finals if the NRL wasn't so political.

Well deserved win panthers 👍Parramatta will choke again 🤣

May still working on his cheap shots I see

Eels always fold when they come to the finals , they will never win a grand final not for years to come .

I still think Melbourne gonna win so I want everyone to screenshot my comment and look it back when they won.

Do we need English Super League Commentators ? Maybe ?

NRL is an embarrassment. AFL get 78,000 and 91,000 and we have 22,000 tonight. FFS play the finals in bigger stadiums. Our game is suburban. Bring back the Jets and we'll play at Henson Park.

Panthers are cheaters

I’m sorry to say but brad arthur Is a selfish coach , to have his son play over players that deserve a shot in the side ! The kid made 3 errors in 20 minutes Get Cartwright or Ogden Someone that can bring something

Useless

Ref

Please win because they pay the referee off
