Message: [QUOTE="Santa, post: 3700687, member: 11237"] [B]Penrith Panthers[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]31440[/ATTACH] The Penrith Panthers—rugby league’s cockiest dynasty, led by a fanbase that thinks "humility" is a type of pasta. Four straight premierships, and somehow, they’ve managed to get even *more* unbearable. These blokes don’t just win; they celebrate like they just ended world hunger. They party harder after a Round 4 victory over the Titans than most teams do after a grand final. At this point, the NRL should just set up a separate competition so the rest of us don’t have to deal with Penrith’s never-ending victory lap. Nathan Cleary? Yeah, he’s good, but let’s not pretend he’s out there doing it all himself. This bloke has the best forward pack in the comp making his life easier, but Panthers fans act like he’s out there dodging landmines and carrying 16 blokes on his back. The media talks about him like he’s *the* greatest player of all time, but let’s be real—without Ivan’s coaching and that wrecking-ball forward pack, he’d be fighting Luke Brooks for a halfback spot at the Tigers. If you put him in a struggling team, he’d be kicking stones faster than he kicks conversions. And speaking of delusional—**Penrith fans.** My god. These people went from being rugby league’s equivalent of background noise to the *loudest, most insufferable* supporters in the game. They think the Panthers are the biggest club in the NRL, when in reality, they’ve got the history of a TikTok influencer—some short-lived success and a *lot* of obnoxious noise. You’re not the Storm. You’re not the Roosters. You’re not even the Broncos. You disappeared into irrelevance for *17 years*, then won a few comps, and now you carry on like you *invented* rugby league. And let’s not ignore the fact that **Penrith’s literacy rates are lower than their tackle completion.** Their fans celebrate grand final wins by **failing spelling tests** and getting banned from Panthers Leagues Club for starting brawls. If the Panthers are the pride of Western Sydney, then Western Sydney is in *serious* trouble. Half the team could retire today and go straight into Centrelink because there’s no way most of them passed high school. The average Panthers fan thinks “dynasty” is the name of a stripper and that “composure” is a type of yoghurt. And then there’s Jarome Luai, the human embodiment of an Instagram comment section. He’s spent years running his mouth in a team full of enforcers, acting like he’s the toughest bloke in the NRL, and now he’s off to the Tigers—where he’ll finally learn what *losing* feels like. The bloke went from calling himself “underdog mentality” to cashing out faster than a pokies addict at Panthers Leagues Club. Enjoy finishing 15th, Jarome. And don’t get me started on **BlueBet Stadium**—the so-called *fortress*. It’s not intimidating because of the crowd; it’s intimidating because of the risk of tetanus. The visitor locker rooms look like they were built as an HSC woodworking project. Half the fans have to stand on a hill like they’re watching a bush footy game in 1985. If this is the "home of champions," then why does it look like a crime scene from a budget cop show? The Panthers aren’t just the best team in the NRL—they’re the biggest reminder that success doesn’t make you likable. They’re the spoiled rich kid of rugby league—winning everything, rubbing it in everyone’s faces, and somehow getting *more* annoying with each trophy. The only silver lining? *Every dynasty eventually crumbles.* And when Penrith finally falls, the rest of the NRL is going to throw the biggest street party in history. Until then, we’re all stuck in Penrith’s world—whether we like it or not. [/QUOTE]
