Did Crossland deserve to be sent off and will he play in the Grand Final?
Triple M footy lives on, listener. Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water. Here we go. We've got a game on our hands. The NRL finals are on Triple M. And we've got all the goss. Behind the scenes news. On and off the field. From press conferences to inside the locker rooms. On Triple M. This is NRL Daily Finals Edition.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily here on your Monday. It's Charlie White in the house. And finally, the grand final set. It's going to be the Sydney Roosters taking on the Newcastle Knights after an incredible season of rugby league. In the house, as always, we have the Graham Family Trust. James and Wade Graham, how are you lads?
Fantastic, Charlie. What a game of football yesterday.
Oh, wow.
We were all out there. We witnessed it. It's still hard to believe, to be honest. I woke up this morning and I was thinking about it and... We jokingly, at the end of the game, we were saying our goodbyes and it was like, oh, anything left for you? And I was like, well, I was just happy to be there. Because I don't normally work Sundays, right? You have your Sunday crew who does that and the footy. But there was, you know, Gordie was absent, so I got to fill in. But that's one game where... You're lucky if you're in that stadium, you witness what the Knights did. From the very start, obviously, they come down. We heard about the busloads of fans, the trainloads of fans. Penrith entered the field to warm up in their home, Sydney.
They get booed coming on and then the Knights run out and Again, I mentioned it on the coverage yesterday. I don't miss the game since retirement. Certainly don't miss the training. Don't miss the games. But that moment when Newcastle ran out and ran out towards their fans, it was envious. Envious of what those players were going through and what they were about to go and try and do for those fans. We didn't know that the game was going to pan out the way it did, but boy, oh boy, didn't they do them proud, Jimmy?
Oh my goodness me. Like, I think that's... arguably the best 40-minute performance I've ever seen. I even think back to last year's final series with some unbelievable games that involved the Brisbane Broncos that went right to the wire, but it was more of attacking-based football with the brilliance of Reece Walsh that stood out for the Broncos last year and with Reynolds' performance sideline conversion the redemption story but the Newcastle Knights down to 12 players against the Penrith Panthers team that just flooded the middle and they almost the Knights the adaptation from a middle four losing cross and to then go to almost like a middle five and how they just kept turning up for one another Caelan Ponga a hybrid lock forward slash fallback
What
about the shot Moses
Lee had from Caleb Ponga? It didn't look right. You know what? If you could time travel and take that clip and play it to someone at any stage in the past, they'd go, oh, that's AI. Or SI as it's maybe now known. He's always up to
date.
He changes
the terms. Not artificial intelligence. Super
intelligence. You'd say it's a manufactured video. We are living in a simulation. I've never been more certain of it than when Cale and Pong have folded Moses Leota. We should say. Photoshop. Photoshop. Old school. Yeah, we should say we've got Penrite Oil on board with us this week. We should say that. It's a big game week, so the big game companies jump on board. Penrite Oil, great to have you on board. They've been around for over 100 years, still driven. Penrite Oil, we love you. And also Joel Harrison out there, our fabulous producer, he put the last 10 minutes of your guys' call up on YouTube. So if you're watching this on YouTube, I'd encourage you to go watch that because the emotion from the two of you was incredible to see.
And Dan Ginnade's commentary, wow.
But that's how the game, it turned us all because, like, If anything, I grew up in Penrith, so I'm happy if Penrith win. They continue on their journey, but the way the Knights just hung in there and fought and played for each other, I don't care about Newcastle.
