How can u say lions choked? Broncos yes but lions?

Odd comment.

Fantasia game and equally impressive umpiring.

The Lions choked due to their MCG hoodoo. The Pies are hardly dynasty team quality (which Penrith is by the way). Negative tactics and brainfades which they've repeatedly demonstrated when playing at the MCG cost the Lions goals and the flag.

I think the pies play a brand of football that wins finals , also they appear to have the right people running the show off field who are making the right calls. And given good recruiting and development they still might become a dynasty team.
I think they also have an ageing list in areas that will require attention very soon and they are also a club that can let success go to their heads
I mean after 2017 how many of us thought we were a dynasty team . In my case it was relief and shock more than anything initially.

I honestly thought they were fantastic

A great game of footy with two teams going toe to toe

Broncos choked big time. They had the Panthers on 5oast with 15 minutes to go

Lions IMO did not.
