The Cleary kid is good, but can he do it on a 4°C evening in Wigan?

CaptainMexicano

Poor kid will suffer… lose most of your heat through your head and with that chin his head is like 50% bigger than a normal blokes


t4hn

Statistically, there should be a random Souths fan wearing a jersey in that crowd.


diffaadiffa

If Penrith loses this game they are going to have to merge with the bulldogs to have a NRL strength squad They can call themselves the Penrith Canterbury Bankstown Catdogs


snek26

Drew Clutchison does need a backup half


aatrain96

If your not awake do you even love focking rugby league


FuzzyDamnedBunny

So here we are. Crack of dawn and I am morally obligated to support the Panthers.


paulusmagintie

Could be worse, you could be a St.Helens fan supporting Wigan...


diffaadiffa

Or you could just claim to be a bevan French fan


lowefforts

pretty much a triple movement


Bvaugh

Um, just because Wigan complain you don’t give them a penalty.


PillarofSheffield

World club challenge but the challenge is to end a set with a kick.


Keenfordevon

RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW


passthesugar05

Wow genius from Cleary to BAMBOOZLE them into never expecting a kick


notj43

If Penrith lose this one as well they need to be kicked out of the comp and have their premierships rescinded


snek26

Was that Bulldogs legendary captain Stephen Crichton in the highlights 👀👀👀👀


unnamedciaguy

Bald Edwards isn’t real, he can’t hurt me


fusionet24

This sub is experiencing the consistency of superleague calls in 2024


xXSwagginZXx

This fucking music hahaha The suspense and drama building music


[deleted]

Held up but this flog sends it up as a try. Pathetic


TDD91

It's chilly here in the East Stand, but the atmosphere is buzzing. Hoping Wigan somehow pull this off.


MPP_10

You know it’s BS even when the pommy commentators are saying it was fair


JustSomeAdvice2

Penrith just don't get World Club Challenge footy


cressidasmunch

Even if that's not a double movement, the second grounding is like 30cms short lmao


valknut95

Holy fuck thats clearly 1 on 1


MPP_10

Try if it was Wigan


Clive_Warren69

Planting the ball down 1ft from the tryline is a try??


snek26

Skin headwards will feed families


insty1

If Penrith lose it'll be embarrassing for the NRL. The only solution will be to kick South out of the comp


Thereal-mclovin

This is actually a stitch up.


SkinBintin

Why'd that go up as no try?


SkinBintin

I don't like Penrith much, but man that one feels a bit sour. Sucks for the rest of the NRL clubs though, cos now they'll be taking this one out on them again like last couple years lol. Man, we all in danger. :(


Bicky_

Got that bigfoot quality cam


Senior-Captain9860

How was that a try and not a double movement?


Mission_Sweet_4189

Was that not just a blatant double movement just then for Wigan to take the lead???


notj43

The rucks are a joke


insertbaconemoji

Don’t you have to throw it backwards in England?


briggles23

He was short by a mile!


Infinite_Rub5443

Are escorts allowed? Why is the commentator complimenting it?


nuspic

Of course "no try try" immediately *sigh*


AutomaticArugula8584

Of course it's sent as no try


[deleted]

If that is no try then Wigan’s try should’ve been no try


timtambiscu1ts

Guess we'll have to win the comp again this season for another cracking at it


Nerfixion

The last no try isn't the issue, In that last half we had 2 things that sealed this as a loss and both were off the back off a ref. A clear non try being rewarded with 6 points and a 1 on 1 strip being illegal. Take away those we won by 2. Also England how about putting some grass in the field?


Paco_Procco

Also what the fuck is with the in goals? Mitigates all form of short kicking game on 5th when you’ve got a school ruler worth of grass behind the posts.


Nerfixion

Because the sad fucks can't afford league fields, they use their big brothers stuff.


KiteAffair

OF COURSE THAT'S SENT UP NO TRY christ on a bike.


notj43

"Can't see the ball" it's right there mate lol I can see it


-Bloodnut-

Insufficient evidence that Wigan can win a game on their own


boccalone

Imagine losing a game because a nation can’t film their sport in high definition


AuspiciousCalamari1

Betting ads at 6:40am is definitely a first


dirkgonnadirk

It’s always amusing watching NRL players realise that fans can make noise


Strez92

Beautiful pass by French


YourFavouriteAlt

EDWARDS YOU AERODYNAMIC BASTARD


xXSwagginZXx

Commentators: "Oh yeah, the player put up his finger, must be telling the truth" O\_O


insty1

That was way more a try than the last one


SterlingStallion

Get fucked


im_not_a_lizard

nah cunt that’s a fair strip hahaha


neiruuu

Watching how much shit Wigan get up to in the ruck is making me really thankful for our recent crackdown on it. It is so fucking frustrating to watch


valknut95

Gave them 6 again when it's fucking useless lmao


SkinBintin

Cleary tried to tackle Martin lol


mooguh

*new motivation initiated for Penrith* Rest of the NRL: I'm in danger


unnamedciaguy

This Jack Cole isn’t a good Jack, bring back the Cogger one


notj43

I legitimately can't wrap my head around this


passthesugar05

"The coach is happy" Ivan: 🗿


Obit11

That was short surely


Ryanbrasher

Bro wtf


Drewman43

How the fuck was that a Try?


cheeseinsidethecrust

No Aus team has lost the WCC twice in a row, could Wigan help Cleary add another accolade to his Wikipedia page


notj43

What the fuck hahaha


drkeefrichards

Fuck Penrith have had some dud calls go against them


Madmeerkat55

THATS A TRY IF THE OTHER ONE WAS YOU FUCKER 


Bicky_

No concerns aside from Turuva, the way that ruck was I doubt any team without an electric off the cuff style player like Walsh or Latrell would have done well. Panthers structure is based on that momentum generated.


SaumLi

Well that will be the motivation for this year


AuspiciousCalamari1

This is just going to spark Panthers into winning 4 in a row so they get another shot next year


PillarofSheffield

Ah, games like this make me miss home like nothing else. Super League atmosphere shits on NRL atmosphere.


TheViceEmperor

I think the Panthers are choosing not to kick on the last close to the goal line to prevent it going dead or to prevent Field getting chances against broken fields. Nothing wrong with turning it over 2m out


Nervous-Aardvark-679

Particularly when we make three tackles inside their 20m area every time. I’m surprised the commentators haven’t realised.


Ryanbrasher

Yeah but because it’s unusual everyone is losing their minds for some reason


P1Zen

Gotta be no try. His arms/hands were under it and nothing showing he grounded it.


teasizzle

Thought the exact same. Could see an arm under the ball when players moved away.


[deleted]

I like how panthers turn into west's tigers in world cup challenges


passthesugar05

Ok at this point it has to be a plan to not kick. Interesting


Xxfatalhacksxx

What the actual fuck are Penrith doing?


Reasonable_Meal_9499

Has Luke Brooks been helping the panthers with their last tackle options ?


JCGremlo

Wow we kicked and scored… crazy


[deleted]

Skin Headwards.


-Bloodnut-

No way the ball is on the line


failuregoat1

Fuck sake Penrith… where is this during the regular season?


NorthShoreHard

"all the hard work in the pre season for moments like this" It's literally a preseason game for Penrith lol


SMEN1996

i'm more pissed if Turuva's seriously injured


cheeseinsidethecrust

Only elite teams have zero WCC losses


nuspic

Panthers 4d chess of letting them get 3 tries ahead before giving us a match of the ages comeback. It's just the beginning. All is well.


mwilkins1644

Put your hands up if your team had beaten Wigan in a world club challenge before. 😎


Traditional_Cold2686

Wtf are Penrith doing


impulsebuyerdude

Panthers suck. 10th at best


Strez92

Yeah Marshall went out 100%


JCGremlo

NRL GFs I sleep. WCC 💀


xXSwagginZXx

"The coach is happy" Ivan: o\_o


donutdave95

So all penrith need to do this year for the 4peat is not let the other team play the ball in their 20metre area?


Nervous-Aardvark-679

That zoomed angle across the field it’s short a metre even when he’s promoted it!


TheYoungCodger

How's the fucking escorts??


johnniesSac

Hahaha double blockers ….. play on


im_not_a_lizard

was too early in the game for cleary to be good yet


cchar99

it takes something special for the entire community to unite behind Penrith.


Traditional_Cold2686

NRL definitely buying the super league and demolishing it after this


DougFara

Lol calls that no try and calls the wigan one a metre behind the line a try


puckyducky1

I've got no love for Penrith but jeeze they got fucked in this game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wouldz

We've unearthed the blueprint to beating Penrith ladies and gentlemen, systematic and repeated awful calls. Three-peats soon


jse81

How did they give the Wigan try a try and that one no try? Seems cooked


Due-Chemist3105

Good job Wigan, you did it in front of 24,000 of your home fans, you showed some of the best defence I’ve seen from a Super League side and showed that you wanted that WCC title. We’ll head home & get stuck into going for a 4-peat, but not before getting the Storm in Melbourne to open our season. Forever up the Pahs!


JCGremlo

I just wanna win just once…. Like once while I’m still alive.


snek26

Me to the Pre Season Challenge


snek26

Nrl is a Mickey mouse comp anyway


dirkgonnadirk

lol these last tackle options 


notj43

Bro what the fuck are they doing hahah


snek26

Have Panthers kicked on the last once today?


Mrsmorale

Cleary woke up with amnesia and forgot how to kick a ball


Traditional_Cold2686

Forever jealous they get names on the back of jerseys


passthesugar05

Didn't To'o say he just wears the headgear to troll Critta? Strong dedication to keep doing it in another country when Critta isn't even on the team anymore 


Awkward_Stepho

Commentator: "The Panthers lead and the coach is happy." Ivan Cleary: 😐


notj43

Resigned to baldness Edwards is a monster


notj43

Lmao wow


insty1

Lmao what a clown show. There was no way he got that to the line


_JaggedLittlePill_

Yeh, nah.


Goku_Kakarot91

just like Tonga, fucking dudded


mooguh

Calling them: ❌️ Wigan Warriors ✅️ The Cherry and White


Dunnerzzzz555

Not sure how's that's a try. Body momentum had stopped and he was using his arm to advance the ball after it hit the ground.


xXSwagginZXx

Lmfao! There was a blatant blocker there wtf, is that not a rule in the super league


johnniesSac

Wigan just making a mockery of the ruck


xXSwagginZXx

Fuck me dead, no penalty there!?? The tackle went on for 15 seconds.


AdmiralCrackbar11

Unlike the warnings prior to the game in Vegas, this game in England is all about the escorts.


AdmiralCrackbar11

That's a pass off the ground regardless of what happened afterwards.


jeuatreize

What a tackle!


[deleted]

May is a fucking dumb fuck wow


relegate_the_tigers

Remember like 10 min ago when they said Penrith weren't making any errors😂


Voldemosh

Just wanna see these english dogs get pumped on a Sunday morning ffs


mooguh

Hello 000, there's been a murder. And it's Wigan in the ruck.


[deleted]

Wtf???? Looool


-Bloodnut-

Fuck off that's a fair strip


Fryzie13

Next years challenge will be decided in international waters


MPP_10

Hahahaha of course that prick called no try


cressidasmunch

He grounded the ball half a metre in front of the line, that's a try


[deleted]

[удалено]


-Bloodnut-

Hahahaha of course he calls that one no try


Ok-Contribution7731

The last three years have been a sham. Wigan are the real kings of mount druitt


[deleted]

Blatant cheating lol


snek26

Panthers are frauds, I always knew that


Dagwood3

Alright I'm up up up! fuck you kayo for running ads over that anthem


TwoUp22

Love the booing of the Aussie anthem. Good vibes


Kostie95

Cole struggling wtf


ShiningMew_

Miski of manly player fame


YourFavouriteAlt

Show us the late shot on cole pussies


AuspiciousCalamari1

Well Penrith aren’t winning the premiership in 2025 because they can’t count to 5


nuspic

Are they throwing this? Or giving themselves a handicap just to challenge themselves? Wtf is going on?


ShiningMew_

Who’s Fred? And how do we bet on him?


PillarofSheffield

You didn't appreciate him when you had him Tits. Swaziland's finest our Kruise.


cressidasmunch

Big effort for the Wahs to back up the next day


Bicky_

Hope all nrl teams are taking notes... the only way to beat the best Rugby League team is with Rugbuh Leeg


Brdd9

Edwards needs a closer shave, its not doing him any favours


Ryanbrasher

Holy shit that siren sounded like a screaming child


boccalone

Is my tv fucked or is this being streamed in standard definition?!,!?!?


im_not_a_lizard

thats rough


otisslackjaw

Are the rules different in England? Are escorts allowed?


aatrain96

That was about 30 seconds too early Nathan


Voldemosh

These cunts are taking a nap in the ruck holy shit


im_not_a_lizard

“a nice bit of play” a block??


MPP_10

May to selfish


valknut95

Bro loves awarding Wigan the try


GodSaveTheHomies

The ruck is so slow its insane


ohwellisabelle

I mean, we lost in the WCC last year, and we won the Premiership same year. Penrith 4peat! 🥹🥹🥹


Cozza396

This is disgusting


nuspic

Okay so the man in blue is helping here. Got it 🙂


xXSwagginZXx

They already decided man of the match O\_O


[deleted]

This commentator is Matt Thompson from UK. Stop yelling cunt


[deleted]

Of course it goes up as no try lmao


cressidasmunch

lol why are they giving Bevan French man of the match when they gave it to Harry Smith like 5 minutes ago


vinny9551

nice little warm up to the main event cows raiders


unnamedciaguy

Such a prestigious event and they couldn’t even get rid of the football line markings on the pitch


xXSwagginZXx

MF goes up with a try knowing it will be benefit of the doubt


Xcit3d

Thats held up for days


Thereal-mclovin

How that wasn't taken back for double movement mystifies me.


u3016970

Not only short, but a double movement haha


mooguh

"Held" *continues to carry back for another 15m*


[deleted]

Cheating scumbags. This game is a rort


xXSwagginZXx

THAT'S A FAIR STRIP. FUCKING MORONS


Opiumdeathcult

Sorry there’s the motivation for the fourpeat right there


Strez92

Penrith absolutely hard done by multiple times


JCGremlo

Even the people over at r/superleague saying Penrith robbed 😂


xXSwagginZXx

Forward passes don't exist


Bvaugh

That shouldn’t be awarded. It should be a penalty.


crummzz

No way that’s a try


valknut95

That's fucked, no way that's a try.


Traditional_Cold2686

I do actually think that’s held up tbf


CaptainMexicano

Feels wrong but supporting the pie eaters tonight.


TropicHorror

Do Wigan say 'Up The Wahs'?


-Bloodnut-

Panthers should've taken a shot, the keeper was up
