9 errors is the stat for me.

I thought Hopwood pushing a pass inside out 30 was going to be the game.

Yeo saying in the press conference that it felt like we had 13 players and they had 12.

I thought the Lucas drop was the game. Then I thought the Gags drop but just kept hanging on, incredible

Crosslands hip drop on Cleary was the most consequential illegal play since Rod Reddy V Parra GF in the 1970s.

We don't win if Cleary plays out the game.

Apart from the 2 grand finals, the greatest win I've seen
I'm an absolute mess after the 2nd half, was prepared for heartbreak in the final 5 minutes then got to witness one of the greatest tries in Knights history.

 

[Bill]

I think we’ve just witnessed the end of the Penrith dynasty

 

[mullenmagic]

No excuses from Ivan Cleary in the presser. All credit to the Knights, and said he didn't understand what went wrong for Penrith in the second half. Said enough time had passed on the Sandon quick tap try regardless and he’s more worried about why the Panthers all had their backs turned.

Yeo said it felt like the Knights were the ones with the extra man on the field with the energy they were getting from the crowd.

Holbrook will be up shortly:

That 2nd half was the best effort I’ve ever seen from any side let alone a Knights side. We outplayed them thoroughly. It took about 10 years off my life but I’m ok with it. To win after the most absurd send off of all time was amazing!

Bring on the Chooks. We don’t lose Grand Finals so we’ll be sweet.

 

[Lefty]

I’m amazed that Penrith couldn’t close out that game.

 

[Billy]

It's funny how just about all Knights fans thought we would win this, even if a lot, like me, couldn't bring ourselves to say it.

Same in 2001 - we all knew we would win that "unwinable" game.

 

[Breen3]

Could not be happier. This would have to go down as one of the greatest wins in our history. 12 men what a win

Same error, Hopwood pass to Lucas

What. The. ****. Just. Happened…….

 

[Joel.M]

Classy presser from Ivan Cleary

 

[Seano]

Bookies would have been happy; a flood of money would have gone on the Panthers at bad odds when Phoenix was sent off.

 

[listo]

No chance for tickets, looks like i’ll have to enjoy the win from home.
1000km drive wouldn’t have bothered me, looks like I’ll just have to do it next year when we go back to back

 

[Macca89]

Don’t they go on sale 10am tomorrow?

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

I have witnessed some great sporting moments in my time. But I will never ever forget being there with with my daughters, wife, sister and friends.

Roosters $1.46, Knights $2.78, that's closer than the Panthers v Knights game opened.
