Rugby league’s human metronome dragged Penrith back from the brink to secure a three-peat and a place among the all-time greats
taring at a 24-8 deficit, with less than 20 minutes to go, the honour of being simply the best slipping away. Unbelievable, but apparently inevitable. Penrith – perhaps the greatest rugby league team ever – were going to lose the 2023Sixty-two minutes of football on this sweltering evening had left the favourites in an almost un-winnable position. The scintillating Broncos attack had cut the much-vaunted Penrith defence apart. Stephen Crichton, Spencer Leniu playing their final matches.
After half-time, his fate tumbled further. Twice Cleary was eviscerated as the Broncos galloped away with the game. On 52 minutes, Ezra Mam sped past his leaping attempt to push the lead to 10. Then Reece Walsh’s left-foot step left him feeble and prone on the turf, and Mam was in again.
