It can not be understated just how surprising Penrith's success was in 2003. Not sure young fans today realise just how out of the blue their rise was. No one expected them to make the Top 8 let alone win the whole thing. Even in the Grand Final they were huge underdogs despite winning the Minor Premiership.
I still remember the articles written about us being lucky and even getting lucky in the GF because it rained and limited the Roosters game.. I have a long and very good memory when it comes to rugby league.
Love how as soon as Monty Beetham gets close to the fight, the ref screams "NO MONTY" but doesn't really care about any of the other players jumping in.......classic
Thats a bloody ref mate

From last in 2001, 4th last in 2002 to minor premiers and premiers in 2003.
Fun fact: Phil Gould tipped us to get the wooden spoon back in 2003..

The warriors were an amazing team back then always entertaining to watch
Miss those days where the ref handles these incidences without anybody being disadvantaged, these days thats put on report and a sinbin
"it was minor" getting punched in the face 😂
How good was that from the ref. Took control like a boss and at the end said it was minor 😂😂

The greatest NRL era ever. 2001-2010 was NRL at its best. Unwatchable shit now.
