torylines? You want storylines? Boy, have we got storylines.

What about the battle of the halfbacks – Nathan Cleary on a 2021 winning streak for the ages, Adam Reynolds on a mission to farewell his beloved South Sydney in style.

The clash of the under-rated, but game defining locks – Isaah Yeo and Cameron Murray, both at the back end of stunning seasons.

What about a couple of these wingers?

Alex Johnston with a competition-leading 27 tries, Brian To’o with the best postcontact metres in the game, defying his stature.

No Latrell. Now there’s a storyline.

Then there’s the tussle in the coach’s box – some 1,250 games between the master Wayne Bennett and Ivan Cleary, who is still chasing his elusive first Premiership.

Wherever you look, this re-match of last year’s Preliminary Final has classic written all over it.

The bookies may have Penrith as short-

FOX LEAGUE CHANNEL NINE

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 | 7.50PM | QLD COUNTRY BANK STADIUM | REFEREE: GERARD SUTTON priced favourites but this is Finals football and there is no certainties anywhere.

The Panthers have been good in recent weeks but still haven’t found that extra gear or two Cleary is adamant remains in his side. Souths finished the year on 42 competition points – that would get them the Minor Premiership in many seasons.

They’re certainly not just making up the numbers.

Penrith have certainly had the Rabbitohs’ measure in recent times, winning both their battles this season – a thrashing in Dubbo and most recently, a 25-12 come-frombehind win at Suncorp Stadium. Souths led that game 12-0 and appeared on top but when Penrith put the foot down, they couldn’t go with them. You can bet your bottom dollar that Bennett has gone over that game constantly this week, working on the running repairs required to turn the result around.

I have no doubt that this game will come down to an outstanding individual performance. It’ll be Cleary or Reynolds grabbing

ABC 702 2GB 873

hold of the game by the scruff of the neck and ensuring they control the momentum.

Or perhaps Viliame Kikau will produce the rampaging performance that he’s been threatening to deliver over the last month.

Don’t rule out a bit of Damien Cook or Api Koroisau magic to break the game wide open, either.

Both sides will likely focus on their leftside attack – and you can be pretty comfortable in backing Johnston or To’o to find the line on Saturday night.

But in the end, it’ll be defence that wins the contest. One lapse on your line, one missed tackle in the middle, and the chances of winning the contest could quickly diminish.

To that end, the Panthers find themselves in the box seat. They were the best defensive team in the regular season – conceding an average of just 11.9 points per game. That’s a remarkable figure, and it’s no fluke – in fact it’s the same average points per game as last season. Ivan Cleary has built a wall and it could just win him a Premiership.

UPDATES ON NRL.COM

Defence is my concern as far as the Rabbitohs are concerned.

I’ve always doubted Souths’ championship credentials given they leak way too many points – an average of 18 points per game. They’ll have to improve significantly if they’re to get on top of the Panthers on Saturday night.

And there’s no doubt that Souths’ mission is tougher without Latrell Mitchell. He just has those game-breaking qualities that can make a huge different in Finals matches, and Bennett does not have a ready-made solution to patch the problem.

I’m expecting a roller coaster ride on Saturday night.

It won’t be easy for Penrith, but they should have too much class in the end and their defence will get them home.

Whatever happens, another storyline is waiting – Penrith will either be 80 minutes from a Grand Final, or on a potential collision course with arch rivals Parramatta in the second week of the Finals.

Tip: Panthers by 6.

WITH THE MASKED PANTHER

LUAI’S NEW ADDITION ! Penrith five-eighth Jarome Luai is preparing to become a Dad for a second time.

The 24-year-old confirmed on social media last weekend that his partner is expecting a little girl in November. “Soon to be 4,” he posted on Instagram. “We can’t wait to meet you princess.” Luai and his partner Bailey already have a three-year-old son, Israel. ! Expect the talk to get louder about Penrith assistant coach Cameron Ciraldo potentially linking up with the Wests Tigers from next season. Tigers coach Michael Maguire appears to be a dead man walking after a shocking season that culminated in an embarrassing loss to Canterbury last Sunday. The Tigers know they have to improve their defence and would likely see Ciraldo as a strong option. Ciraldo turned down an offer to join Cronulla as an assistant coach next year but obviously harbours a desire to be a head coach at some stage in the future. He has a clause in his contact that would allow him to exit the Panthers should a head coaching opportunity arise.

Penrith on the next line of betting at $2.75.

Manly is next best at $7.00, showing the bookies are adamant we’ll have a repeat of the 2020 decider on the first weekend of October. Both Melbourne and Penrith are short-priced favourites for the Qualifying Finals this weekend.

The NRL officially launched the Finals on Monday with captains from all eight clubs gathering at Suncorp Stadium.

We hear not every club was happy with the arrangement given there wasn’t an enormous amount of media on-hand, with plenty being done remotely. The Panthers opted to send Isaah Yeo to the photo call, keeping Nathan Cleary out of the spotlight ahead of the Finals.

The Panthers were originally hoping to play their Qualifying Final against Souths at Suncorp Stadium but they were

robbed of any bargaining power when the NRL opted to take the first week of the Finals to regional venues. It means a long trip to Townsville for what would usually be a ‘home’ Final, but clubs have gotten used to uncertainty around scheduling so it’s not seen as a huge disruption. NRL boss Andrew Abdo was happy with the decision to go regional. “Rugby league is part of the social fabric of these communities and we’re excited to reward them for that support by hosting the first week of our Finals series,’’ he said.

! Panthers co-captain Nathan Cleary has paid tribute to forward Scott Sorensen,

who was injured against the Eels last weekend and looks set to miss the Finals campaign. “I feel really sorry for Sorro, he’s been a massive part of our team this year.

He’s definitely one of the unsung heroes and definitely doesn’t get as many wraps as what he deserves. He’s very much appreciated from all the boys around here and his work doesn’t go unnoticed,” Cleary said.

! Congratulations to Kingswood resident Tim Moodie, who has won $50,000 as champion of SuperCoach this year. In an incredible act of generosity, he’s donating $45,000 of his prize to his sister, who is battling breast cancer.

LEADERSHIP ON TAP AT PANTHERS NATHAN TAYLOR

N

Nathan Cleary and Isaah Yeo have impressed as Penrith’s co-captains this season.

While some punters believed Yeo deserved the captaincy honour on his own, Nathan Cleary has also relished the position and, on the back of his strong leadership, has taken his game to yet another

level in 2021. The 23-year-old, who will be contesting his fifth Finals Series beginning this weekend, said he’s proud to lead out Penrith every week alongside his popular State of Origin teammate.

WW43975

ot one but two players will hoist the Provan-Summons trophy if the Panthers manage to get the job done on the first Sunday in October.

Isaah Yeo and Nathan Cleary have enjoyed a remarkable and historic first year together as Penrith’s co-captains.

Despite the critics in the pre-season doubting the two-captain method, the pair have formed a partnership as solid as oak and now they’re ready to tackle their first Finals campaign together as co-captains of the mighty Panthers.

Speaking with Extra Time this week, Yeo said it’s been an enjoyable year guiding the Panthers to a record 21 regular season wins.

“To captain this side, along with Nath, is something I’m extremely proud to do,” the 26-year-old said.

“This is our first year together captaining this side and I feel like we’ve handled it pretty well, it’s been really enjoyable.

“I feel like we both read the game well and it helps when you’re winning games too – you don’t have that extra pressure there.

But, in this position, you need to be able to lead in these big games and we’re both looking forward to doing that this week.”

“You probably don’t feel it as much when you’re out on the field as my role doesn’t change too much, but when you sit back and look at it, it’s a very proud moment to captain this great club,” he said.

“To be able to do it alongside a good mate like Yeoy, it’s been really cool and coming into our first Finals Series together as captains, it’s a very special moment and something I’m looking forward to.”

Before the Panthers do any trophy lifting on Grand Final Day, they have a huge month of football ahead of them starting with the South Sydney Rabbitohs this Saturday night in Townsville.

Penrith and the Rabbitohs have enjoyed some real battles in recent seasons and last year’s Preliminary Final at ANZ Stadium was the best of the bunch.

“It’s always a really enjoyable and entertaining game against Souths,” Cleary said this week.

“They obviously have a lot of superstars in that team and are a great team especially with the ball in hand.

“We always know we’re up for a big game against them and I think the last few times we’ve versed them, it’s come right down to the wire and been a really good contest.

I think it will be very similar to that on Saturday night and it’ll be a great challenge for us.”

Footy’s best coaches battle it out for the grandest prize

joel caine W

e finally made it, 25 rounds of footy, somehow ticked off despite border closures, lockdowns, scandals and relocations, but boy it was worth it for what’s to come.

This Finals series is shaping up beautifully, we have six teams that are all very hard to beat on their day, and I think the Knights and Titans have the most talent of the chasing pack.

Taking a look at the top eight, and more closely the teams one through to five, it’s no surprise why they’re in the position they are.

Yes, they all have star players and wellbuilt rosters, but don’t forget who makes it all tick from the top.

If I was asked to pick the best five coaches in the league, I’d go in no particular order; Craig Bellamy, Wayne Bennett, Ivan Cleary, Trent Robinson and Des Hasler – and I don’t think you’d find many who’d argue against that.

Is it really a surprise that they’re the handful of coaches with the best shot at winning this year’s competition?

We spoke about shares last week, but anyone can be a stock picking guru when the whole market goes up. It’s how you go when times are tough, when the cream truly rises to the top.

This has been arguably the most challenging period for a coach and his players in the history of Australian premiership rugby

league. In tough times the good and the bad are amplified.

To highlight my point, all of our top five coaches are the only ones who have won a minor premiership in the last 13 years.

Bennett took honours in 2009 and ’10, Bellamy has a handful himself with 2011,

’16, ’17, ’19, and most recently ’21, Des sat on top in 2012, Robbo is a touch behind Craig with 2013, ’14, ’15 and ’18, while Ivan saluted in 2020 and went awfully close to going back to back this year.

People bang on about squad depth and star players when it goes to contending for

a premiership. But I think the most critical piece is at the very top.

There’s no doubt in my mind that one of these five will have their hands on the trophy come October 3.

History rests on what they do more so than anyone else in the next month.

THESE PANTHERS MEAN BUSINESS NATHAN TAYLOR

H

istory shows that earning a week off in the NRL Finals goes a long way to winning a Premiership. In fact, just one team since 2007 – Johnathan Thurston’s Cowboys – has lost their opening Finals game and gone on to win the Grand Final.

Nathan Cleary and the Panthers will be treating this Saturday’s Qualifying Final against South Sydney as a Grand Final come early, knowing the importance of what a week off in September can do for a side’s Premiership chances.

“I think a week off is always good this time of year,” Cleary admitted.

“I think probably more so just getting a win to have that confidence in a big Finals game against a good team like Souths would definitely help.

“Our mentality going into this match is that this is like a Grand Final to us – we want to play well and get the win. But, if not, then we’re lucky enough to have a second chance.”

Speaking with Extra Time on Tuesday, co-captain Isaah Yeo agreed with his halfback’s comments in terms of the importance of having the week off. However he

said it wasn’t the be-all and end-all if things don’t pan out for Penrith on Saturday night.

“I think history shows that having the week off probably helps, but I don’t think it’s the end of the world,” Yeo said.

“It’s nice to have that week off and freshen up as most players are carrying niggles by this point of the year. But we’re lucky we are in the position that we are that we get two opportunities. It’s not the end of the world but it would certainly be nice to win this week.”

Unlike previous Finals campaigns, Penrith head into this year’s Finals series with plenty of experience under their belts having made it all the way to Grand Final Day last year before falling agonisingly short of glory.

Cleary said the lessons he’s picked up over the years – whether it be in Finals games or Origin – will be very valuable over the next four weeks.

“I think experience is priceless especially in big games,” the 23-year-old said.

“I’ve definitely learned a lot of lessons in the big games I’ve played and I’ve been lucky enough to play in a few of them now through Origin and obviously Finals series’.

“I think you always learn with the experiences you get but, having said that, every game is different.”

Cleary, who infamously threw an inter-

cept pass and missed a tackle that led to tries in last year’s Grand Final loss to the Storm, said he’s learned how to be mentally tougher on the footy field especially when things go wrong.

“You can kind of lean on different things, mainly mentally I think,” he said.

“If things aren’t going your way – it’s how you bounce back from that, how you go in

the face of adversity. There’s definitely a lot of things I’ve learned and will continue to learn. I’m really looking forward to this year’s Finals series.”

Should Penrith lose on the weekend, they’ll play the winner of the Parramatta versus Newcastle match on Sunday, and then potentially face a Preliminary Final against Melbourne or Manly.

Hating Manly is very difficult right now

matt russell I

t remains one of rugby league’s most accurate clichés – the race to Grand Final glory isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.

Lucky that’s the case, because Manly missed the start horribly but are now in the leading pack close to the finish line.

The Sea Eagles not only lost their first four games, they were smashed – 46-4 by the Roosters, 26-12 by Souths, 38-12 by St George-Illawarra and 46-6 by Penrith.

The storylines at the time centred on Des Hasler being sacked, or at least being made to operate under a consulting power above him.

Tom Trbojevic was still out with that hamstring concern he just couldn’t shake.

Would the body ever allow him to play properly again?

The Sea Eagles sat last. They were gone.

Time for another cliché – you don’t win the comp in the first month but you can certainly lose it.

Then the sliding doors moment – Round 5 against the Warriors in Gosford. They trailed 12-6 heading into the final quarter.

Josh Schuster scored. Reuben Garrick converted. Daly Cherry-Evans kicked a 79th minute field goal. Manly won 13-12.

The following week against the Gold Coast in Mudgee, Turbo Tom came out of the garage to score a try and deliver two assists in his first game of the season. Manly smashed Gold Coast 36-0.

I recently asked coach Hasler which one

of the first two wins was the most important? Which game was the sliding doors moment? Without hesitating he pointed to the win against the Warriors.

It makes you wonder where Manly would be now if Cherry-Evans had missed his field goal attempt.

Manly hasn’t dropped consecutive games since, winning 16 in total, putting 50 on Brisbane, North Queensland, Gold Coast and Parramatta, not to mention the 66-0 romp against Canterbury.

For the first time since St George-Illawarra in 2005, a team finished Top 4 after losing its first four games.

Records have fallen. Trbojevic, Jason Saab and Reuben Garrick all scored 20-plus tries – the first time three players in the one team have done that. Garrick became the first player in Premiership history to score 300 points in regular season. Tom’s 25 tries, combined with 30 try-assists makes for one of the great individual seasons, and all from 15 games.

Remember when you HAD to hate Manly.

Right now, that’s really hard.

How could you not love their final try of the regular season! What an insight into their skill and confidence it was. From deep in his in-goal area, and with fulltime sounding, Garrick resists the normal option or running the ball dead and instead attacks. Tom scores again. A remarkable team try.

Manly’s Tom Trbojevic has had an incredible season. Photo: NRL Photos.

Now they have to beat Melbourne.

Something they haven’t done in their past four meetings. Melbourne home by double

figures on each occasion. They need to convert four straight losses into success.

Sound familiar?

ith the regular season now complete, it’s time for the remaining eight teams to fight it out to determine who will ultimately win the 2021 NRL Premier-

Members Player of the Year: Brian To’o – I have little doubt that the three finalists for this award will be Nathan Cleary, Jarome Luai and Brian To’o with Bizza going on to win the prize. He is so popular with not only Panthers supporters but supporters throughout all 16 NRL clubs.

ship.

In some shape or form, Panthers will have its end-of-year Awards Night soon and I thought I’d reveal who I think will win the major categories this year.

Ben Alexander Rookie of the Year: Charlie Staines – Staines had some competition from Izack Tago but until he ran out of steam just before round 22, Staines had played in every match and scored an impressive 14 tries.

Staines has speed and positional play on his side and will no doubt be back better than ever in 2022.

Merv Cartwright Medal: Co-captain Nathan Cleary is the obvious choice for this award. I don’t care that he won it last year. This season, the equation was simple, Cleary plays, the Panthers win. His importance to the side was even more obvious when he didn’t play. Cleary has a near perfect kicking and passing game while his goal kicking was at an 85 per cent success rate. Despite missing eight games this season, Cleary still managed to score 10 tries to go along with his goalkicking to score 213 points. He is simply the best!

John Farragher Award for Courage and Determination: Brian To’o epitomises what this award is all about. Courage and determination are two words which describe To’o to a ‘T’.

A bloody good footballer is the other. His return early from a serious ankle injury also showed his fierce determination to get back and help his teammates. To’o is a beast when it comes to making the tough runs from the back of the field and he can also score a try like no one else.

Scary thing is, he’s only going to get better.

Club Person of the Year: Alan Mair – The ‘Equipment Manager’ is so much more than that. Like the players and coaching staff, he too had to pack his bags and make sure everyone elses were packed when given the order by the NRL to move up to the Sunshine Coast.

My Tips for the week: Storm, Roosters, Panthers, Eels.

Nathan Cleary deserves to win this year’s Merv Cartwright Medal.

The final word: I had to laugh when Eels fullback Clint Gutherson said that the Panthers’ scrum set moves would not work against the ‘best sides’. Matthew Johns only a few hours later said it was great to see scrum moves back in the game. I know which opinion I value more in this case.

finals flashback

MAGIC IN THE FINAL MINUTES I

n the history of Penrith Panthers Finals matches, what happened at Allianz Stadium on the night of Saturday, September 13 2014 is right up there with one of the best ever.

It was first versus fourth – the high flying Sydney Roosters up against a Penrith side visiting the Finals for the first time since 2010.

A tight top eight that season meant that the Roosters only finished two points clear of Penrith at the top of the ladder, but Trent Robinson’s side were heavy favourites to win the match.

Penrith managed to open the scoring when Josh Mansour found the line in the 24th minute, but the Roosters bounced straight back when Michael Jennings scored six minutes later. The home side took a 6-4 lead into the break, and appeared to be on top.

They extended that lead to 12-4 early in the second half through Shaun Kenny-Dowall, and Penrith’s chances of an unlikely victory seemed shot to pieces.

But the Roosters lost the momentum, allowing Penrith to cross through Dean Whare in the 51st minute for a converted try, followed by

a Jamie Soward penalty goal that levelled the game at 12-all with 20 minutes to play.

Penrith were in the contest up to their necks, but it appeared to fall through their fingers when Mitchell Pearce crossed in the 72nd minute, opening up an 18-12 lead heading into the championship minutes.

As the clock ticked down, Penrith’s chances were evaporating – before a footy miracle unfolded.

With three minutes to play, Jamie Soward dribbled through a kick that was chased by Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who tossed the ball back into play while still mid-air, leaving it for Whare to pounce on and score his second.

The video referee looked at countless replays before giving it the green light.

“That’s incredible from the young winger,” Peter Sterling said in commentary, referring to Watene-Zelezniak’s pass.

The rest is history – Soward’s sideline conversion, his wobbly but oh so sweet field goal and a nerve-wracking final seconds prior to the siren.

Penrith won 19-18, sending Ivan Cleary’s side to the Preliminary Final.
