That's, uh-

They had to, they had security come down and like, "Mate, are you meant to be sitting in here?" And my dad just went, "Yeah, we're sitting, we're with him, David Boyle." And they went, "You're right." So, and that, that was the game that Craig Gower, with a minute to go, 10 meters out from the line, we're up 30-26, put in a kicker and went dead and gave the Dragons an option to, a chance to win, so.

2003 was, was a great year and, yeah, Grand Final day was different.

But that was okay.

That was the Joe Nalavaa, Craig Gower, Tony Puletua version of the Panthers.

I like that team.

My next child was born in two thousand and five.

We formalized this.

The Hall of Fame is still those original four, Graham Moran, Greg Alexander, Roy Simmons, Craig Gower.

Their names are, of course, on top of the old grandstands.

Along to unpack it all, Penrith premiership-winning captain Craig Gower.

Gower, how are you, mate?

We've got an all-star cast lined up to dissect it all today.

Panthers champion Craig Gower.

Gowie, how are we, mate?

Hoops, great to be here.

He's a gun journo, Christian Nicolucci.

Nico, how are we, mate?

Good, Mr. Hooper, and I'm glad I'm finally in the studio with Craig Gower because-

[laughs]

Right.

Shout out to Craig Gower at this point.

Oh, yeah, it was 2003.

So I think Freddie and Gowie were level coming into the final round.

So,

all right.

Craig's on the line at Maitland.

G'day, Craig.
