'That's hard to get your head around...' | Broncos Press Conference | 2023 Grand Final | 01/10/2023 

😂😂

Haha shame kevy. He celebrated too early

Handled it well lol mate his not being honest his team ain't gonna win a gf next year Adam Reynolds Is old now flegler gone to dolphins,and herbie Farnworth

​@@MrEFSAYspot on. Couldn't acknowledge his team choked, celebrated to early and Penrith never gave up. Ivan was the total opposite in his presser, acknowledged washes danger and the Broncos being such a great team. But poor kevvy couldn't do the same

Did not think much of Walters as a kid but that might have been me thinking the Bronco's of the late 80's and the 90's were a bunch of nobs. But that display there has softened my view a bit of the bloke. Reynolds too, being beaten in two different teams by the same side essentially has to hurt.

Bronx took stupid risks and let Penrith back into game

Well said, very fair assessment

Why take those short kicks in a grand finals.

@@ericdodoo9305 it’s a gamble. High risk high reward. If they re gather it’s one of the plays of the game.

@@OlyMar83 It's dumb and they got exactly what they deserved because of it. We used to praise guys like Pat Richards for his long dropouts but players nowadays think they need possession always. At 0-0 it's not urgent that you get the ball back from a dropout but Brisbane went for it and coughed up a try that was completely unnecessary. It came back to bite them.

You're proud of 24-8 and losing 26-24? LMFAO

@@badabing8152 Proud of his team for going from a wooden spoon where they won just 3 games to grand finalist where they only lost 7 in just 3 years some people consider that tremendous improvement guess you can't wrap your little pee sized brain around it aye

It’s called karma for causing the super league war 🖕

@@jest3167 proud of blowing the most unlosable grand final? LMFAO HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA of course old mate jesty jest who has been confirmed as the dumbest person on youtube - is in your corner hahahahaha. that's how you know you're wrong and lost hahahahahahahahhaha.

@@badabing8152classic penrith supporter

That was definitely an awesome game way more entertaining than the afl

He really isn't the best in the world

@@TheVoltovlast night it definitely showed he was the best player in that moment. Not too many players can single handedly win a game like that.

Reynolds lacked the decency to even acknowledge the other team when making his post game speech , disgraceful in the least.

@mufc261 What a dribbler you are who cares whether soccer is the biggest game on earth. The Grand Final is what people are commenting on.

Did you even watch the fucking video, he literally interrupted and said let’s not take any credit away from Penrith

It had nothing to do with the football gods either! It was all to do with how good Penrith Panthers were. Walters thought the game was won, while Penrith didn't think the game was lost. Huge difference in attitude and mentality.

100%!!!!!!

@@davidmills3691 spot on, also I don't see Brisbane working for each other, it's still a team of individuals and big egos. Penrith is a team of selfless individuals playing for each other.

Best decision I made as a Victorian was to stick with Penrith when storm came into the league

Good effort, but just not good enough

Same here.

Satisfying*

Smiling till Christmas...

Arrogance will always come back to bite you sooner or later

spot on... the kid thinks he's bigger than the game...

Give him a break. Young immature. He will grow as an individual. First grand final he’s played. As we sit in our lounge rooms watching. Hop up and look in the mirror. What do you see?

@@davidfife-nm7uy what do I see?? a young jumped up FWIT!

I don’t get how they are such a thing these days. Keep them as a surprise, but to use them all the time, you give other teams a chance to work out your plays 🤷🏼‍♂️

@bigoz1977 Exactly right, you can't do that to Penrith and expect to get away with it.

I couldn’t believe it, essentially gifted Penrith 14 free points off shitty dropouts

Go effing long!!! Especially in a grand final and against panthers and they have the momentum annnndd with the strong wind at the time. UNBELIEVABLE

@@bigoz1977 no lie. Even in the NFL, they only utilise short kicks when the situation calls for it and it's the only option to catch up when behind. Mf here was doing it when the score was 0-0 and then stuck to it when they're leading with a lot of time on the clock. If it doesn't work out once or twice, don't stick to it when it matters most in an important game.

We love you too Reynolds! Sincerely - Penrith

Yep. They just needed to kill 15 min.

They wouldn't have been in the GF were it not for him and he wasn't responsible for the loss. A dropout out on the full isn't ideal but penrith were getting the ball back anyway, it just made it from 10 out.

Agreed, can’t keep giving Penrith easy opportunities for them to score or even gain high possession. They’re a team that’ll punish you for your mistakes and I think the Bronx will learn from this loss for next time.

That's the way they play, you dance with the one that brought you, and they did just that. They didn't account for Cleary turning into Superman with all his co-stars dropping like flies

No they weren't playing footy they were feeling like they can hold on

I have to admit that I thought we had it. I'm a proud Broncos supporter & I'm still proud of my team and we'll be better next year.

I thought the Panthers were gone. They looked gassed and the Broncos were soaring but then Cleary had this fire in his eyes. He wasn't done and he just lifted to GOD level. It was amazing to watch. Broncos had an amazing year. They've got to keep riding the momentum.@@michelledavidson8190

@@michelledavidson8190Bloody oath we will can’t wait for next year

Broncos we’re the better team all game except for the last 20 minutes.. Penrith didn’t win, we lost it.

​@@7colliemacbetter team....who won lol...i think the better team won ..Panthers 🤙🏽

@@mikeherbert470he said all game except the last 20 open your eyes when you read . Too quick to gloat ya Kent

@@7colliemac 8 - 6 to Penrith at half time, panthers won the first half. Ezra was good for 20 minutes, the panthers controlled the other 60 minutes.

@@SlaintheMhathThey literally were gifted that first try, had nearly all the attacking possession in that first half and that was the only try they scored. Not taking any credit away from Penrith, but they were only better for the last 20 minutes of the game.

Yes u r right. Handled it well.

Not hard they should be use to it 😂

It wasn't a nail biter - more like "the one that got away."

@@matonatomic 🤣🤣

@@matonatomic the one they never had

In American sports on the big day' you can actually gamble on somebody to be mentioned on the podium. Or who they thank first' opposition' or teammates' so on. Think he was just shellshocked.

I would say he was still in SHOCK.

Just being a sook

He was just gutted mate. Lost by 2 in 2 grand finals to the same team. Just skipped his mind. Understandable.

Marty Does it really matter. Penrith won its theirs. Reynolds probably didn't realise what was actually happening in his mind in those moments after the game

ESPECIALLY in a gf, can let it slide in regular season but sheeeesh

Luck? Ha your dreaming. No luck in it just a great football team pouncing on the weakness of the Broncos. Young and inexperienced team that weren’t prepared to go the 80 mins. In the last 3 tries Penrith scored where were they lucky?

Broncos didnt choke,Panthers choked 2nd half then snapped out of it went up another gear and that's all she wrote😂to quote the legend Ray Warren "SHUT THE GATE" 😂😂👏🏿👏🏿🏆🥇

⁠@@braydenblackmore5002I’m with you how is it not a choke, the game was 8 to 24 broncos, how one man and many other talented players run through the broncos backline in 30 minutes to win by 2 is definitely a choke

​@@wolfgangvonuce9803they choked..but that's footy

Luck really , GIVE IT A REST.

Only one person to Blame & that's the Halfback.

Up the wahz lol

​​@@MartyMcFly3Really we gonna play the blame game on one player who's been crucial to the Broncos whole season

Is it really a choke when they are narrowly beaten by one of the most elite teams of all time? Plenty of teams get run down and beaten by bigger scores in the modern game.

Choke or a momentum change, led by Cleary

Deine Mariner will replace Herbie. More dangerous than Herbie potentially

Yes they are a young team and have a lot of potential

@@nomenetasaili8598 Adam Reynolds is 33, he will be 34 next year and without the little general ........

No chance they win with that team

Teams next year will be more disciplined 💯 broncos had to win this year or they could never touch it for a long time LOL

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, short drop out in the first 15 minutes while still 0-0 which led to their first try, then another one out on the full which led to being up 8-0, then another one out on the full in the 2nd half to give them the ball 10m out. Unbelievable from someone with so much experience.

No lies. Every single time this man positioned himself to kick short I couldn't stop walking out bcs it mostly goes both ways, either too short or out on the full, but there's a very slim chance of retrieving it. Yet when they got that chance the first time Penrith scored literally right off of it and he still decided to stick to it through out the game SMH. If it doesn't work once or twice, don't keep testing it in an important and crucial game. Also I hurt for Ezra, he put on a show and now I'm a fan. I also really think Bronx would've won if Reece got involved more bcs man was he dangerous every time he touched the ball. Had he took the the game by the horns like Cleary did Penrith would'nt be able to contain him even with Cleary on fire. But in the end, it comes down to who wants it more and Cleary showed it. What a beautiful game it was.

Deadset the turning point of the game for me, I was waiting for a cross field kick to Cobbo and we end up throwing a short pass to a decoy runner and handing it over from 30m out. LIKE WTF WAS THAT

Especially with our height advantage we have on both wings. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Where EFFFF is our kicks to the wingers. FFS

@@masterwudang Fr, I would've aimed for Brian To'o corner and have Cobbo jump right over him

Doubt it,raiders never got back to the GF this has the same feeling. Broncos will be top 4 but no premiership

Agree ! They had to win this one This was their year but slipped just like Reynolds said LOL now they probs not Gonna have the chance for a long time 🤣🤣

@@gideonlau2707 Broncos is a younger, hungrier and more talented side than the Raiders

100% will definitely happen. To be honest we should be aiming for 2 over the next 5 years however.... after 18 years drought, lets just get that first one... and how sweet it will be

How many games this year and finally the ref's got it right

@@boohoo3805 the last one hopefully can carry onto to the next season hahaha

Yeah kudos to Adam Gee, he was great. Barely any penalties orn6 agains, just let the boys play footy. About time 🙌

why tf would they run down the clock with 20 to go??

Hey easier said than done. Really what would u have done.

@@KingAwesome3432u r right. Can’t even do that in AFL, maybe soccer when some teams run the clock down from when the game starts.

@@KingAwesome3432 You asleep ...The last drop out which went out on the full there was only 7 mins left .. bronx could have kicked it deep down the middle and held Penrith deep in their own territory and that would have chewed up minutes

No lie. Dummies kept going for short every drop out instead of kicking deep and making the panthers work for it.

Mate don't be like NSW and bag their team / players when we lose. Cleary was just in the ZONE in the last 20.

@mufc261 Soccer is a Sheila's game ...

@RyanSymons Please watch the 1989 GF again in full once the dust settles on the '23 GF. Yes there was individual brilliance on both teams in Mam & Cleary. Obviously the greatest comeback in GF history & I'll acknowledge that no matter how you slice it with choking etc, it still was the greatest individual performance by Nathan Cleary in the final 17 mins in GF History. He basically single handedly guided his side to the Premiership. unlike Mr Adam Reynolds who has now failed in 2021 & 2023 with two different clubs.

@@MartyMcFly3 That 89 GF is still the best ever, the extra time, Balmain being favorites, the unsung hero in Steve Jackson, scoring the winning try. A young Laurie Daley, and so many other greats of the game; Meninga; Blocker Roach; Sironen; Belcher.; Pearce...etc stacked across the park with internationals. The first side outside of Sydney. Canberra made history that day as well.

I'm still hurting over '89

I was at the 89 grand final and yes it was great but for 80 minutes this grand final was way better. Penrith and the Broncs went at each other non stop for 80mins.

LMFAO why? 26-8. LMFAOOOOOOOO

When he did he was dangerous, but in the end it comes down to who wants it more and Cleary showed he wanted it by getting involved more and going after it. Walsh in the whole first half was waiting for the game to come to him, a grand final isn't that type of game to do that.

effort? You obviously musn't be referring to Reese Walsh then hahahaha

Up the Wahs... Up the Pahs ❤

Clearys once we're Warriors 👍🏉🇳🇿

:(

You're comment speaks for itself, Penrith the better side

Yep, not a broncos supporter, but this is the kind of game that would put me off the sport if it was my team. 16 up with 20 to go, and you just give up, it's astonishing.

I'm a Bronx fan they stopped playing , they clocked off, they took the foot off the pedal after Mam's 3rd try. 24-8 they thought they had won it 80mins boys not 60 SMDFH

💯💯💯 they are the best

​@@SuperAdventureR1301I'm not a broncos supporter either, but imo they played the most exciting football this year and have the makings of a team that will be hard to beat over the next few years. I'd be gutted but also excited for what next year can bring.

Pressure got to him mate . He isn’t built like copper Cronk . I haven’t seen a better 7 than Cronk at slowing the game down & game management to close out the game .

@@fear_the_lord1595 i feel so bad but I know the players would feel worse. But alls they had to do is slow the ball down and go for the lines with their kicks and in goals. Surely an experienced player like Reynolds could do that, but I think he used up his good game against the Storm.

pretty much . dumb kick

So many dumb short dropouts. Dreadful game management.

@@stealthpakfaworst game management I’ve seen from a 7 in a grand final .

been a hugeeeee fan for the last 4 years hey peter

​@@domrowell3041 nah about 48 years

He needs to watch some cooper cronk tapes to learn how to slow down the game & close it out .

It didn't.

no one should ever hold their head high being up 24-8 and losing 26-24 LMFAO. They should hide and never leave their house for a few weeks.. hold their head up high. LMFAOOOOOO

after Ezra got the hat trick that was the game . all Reynolds had to do was slow the game down & have the boys grind it out . Broncos had all the momentum but couldn’t handle the pressure .

Well said, beat ourselves

Hahaha didn’t hand them anything. They never gave up and found an opening and went for it.

Not showing enough respect to the Pies and Panthers

​@@fear_the_lord1595But Reynolds is a Mastermind...not.

Yep I would of rather get flogged

It's an 80 minute game and teams that celebrate too quickly have often found that out the hard way.

Why do you think you SHOULD have won it? Panthers were always the better side

@@braydenblackmore5002 Chill mate. Nobody saying Panthers are bad.

Penrith stronger mentally

Choke on that one😂

You didn't "give" anything away...the Panthers took it from you

Yes we did especially the first half. Poor positioning that led to a Panters try.

True, it was also Reece time to keep the momentum going after Ezra's tries. He began to get the ball a little more and was dangerous, but couldn't grab the game by the horns just like what Cleary did. Ezra deserves his flowers for what he did so early on in the game, he was the catalyst for the Bronx momentum throughout the whole game.

Agreed! That Crichton break to put Leota over was instrumental. So was his 40/20 the next set. So was his try to seal it plus his conversions especially close to the sideline! LMFAO CLOWN

@@badabing8152 How many points did the Panthers get from Cleary's 40 20 ? How many tackles did Cleary miss for Mam to score his hat trick ? Crichton beat 3 to score to put the Panthers within striking distance He also forced 2 drop outs including the one that gave Penrith the ball back to allow Cleary the opportunity to score the match winner which he likely only scored because all the Broncos were worried about Crichton getting the ball again Fact is if Crichton doesn't do what he done Cleary doesn't score the match winner with a minute to go because the Panthers wouldn't of got the ball back and Panthers lose the grand final Muppet

​@mufc261Stick your soccer comments up your arse

The Flog and the Fart

If grand final experience ever counts for anything it counted in those last 20 minutes of this match.

Reese Walsh puts as much effort into his defense, as you do with your grammar.

Check the stat's, broncos were not the better team A 20 minute period of playing well and scoring a bunch doesn't make you the better team

Panthers won

@@WWKEnigmaX It wasn’t a 20 min period, up until 20min to go we were in front 24-8 which means we were the better team.

@@7colliemac bro at half time panthers were leading, as you just said with 20 minutes left you were in front 24 - 8 So that's a 20 minute period...

Yes, that is important as it is a team sport after all. However - the Panther's first GF was lucky - an intercept try (if Cody's pass stuck, Souths would have been the Premiers). 2nd GF - the Eels were unworthy opponents. But tonight, it was a mighty effort by Nathan Cleary. The Bronx just dropped their intensity for just 5 minutes and the momentum changed.

Well said!
