Ivan Cleary’s side produced their piece de resistance to cap a near-perfect season, a 28-12 grand final mauling of their western Sydney rivals. NRLGF
The grand final wasn’t even a quarter old when Brian To’o rose from the north-western corner and celebrated a try not with a postcode hand sign, or one of those exuberant leaps from teammates on top of each other, but a simple salute.
It would have been a travesty if the Panthers, the NRL’s modern-day dynasty, finished three straight grand final appearances with just one premiership. The only Parramatta fans who would have shouted themselves hoarse were screeching for Jimmy Barnes rather than Junior Paulo. Their team was not in the same class as their rivals down the road, no matter how hard they worked.Inescapably, this felt like a real NRL grand final day at a Sydney stadium which won’t see funding any time soon.
After three years of grand finals being in the balance until the last minute, this was as good as over after the first.
