Gotta Get Away
I'm getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and they're closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
There's one guy that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is a riddle and I'm really stumped
If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I think I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me...
Penrith Panthers: 2022 NRL Premiers
]The Penrith Panthers have converted three years of dominance into back-to-back premierships with a clinical 28-12 dismantling of Parramatta in Sunday night's NRL Grand Final.
With Clive Churchill Medalist Dylan Edwards (281 metres), Brian To'o (299 metres) and Nathan Cleary delivering command performances on the game's biggest stage, the Panthers became the first team since the Roosters in 2018-19 to win consecutive premierships.
In front of 82,415 fans at Accor Stadium the Panthers scored five tries to two to secure the club's fourth premiership to go with the 1991, 2003 and 2021 trophies.
After a physical opening the Eels tried an early trick shot when Dylan Brown kicked ahead early in the tackle count for Mitch Moses to chase in the eighth minute but To'o covered up well.
Four minutes later it was the Panthers who struck first through centre Stephen Crichton, who took an inside pass from Edwards 25 metres out and turned on the jets to score despite the last-ditch effort of Reed Mahoney and Reagan Campbell-Gillard.
Winger To'o then finished off a slick left side in the 18th minute as the Panthers stretched their lead to 10-0.
With the Eels looking rattled, skipper Clint Gutherson put a short dropout out on the full and Cleary kicked the penalty goal for 12-0.
Relentless pressure from the premiers came up trumps in the 28th minute when Cleary put in a pinpoint grubber for Scott Sorensen to score just his second try of the season. Cleary converted and the Panthers were rocking at 18-0.
Two minutes before the break Viliame Kikau went within a whisker of scoring Penrith's fourth when he chased a Jarome Luai grubber but Waqa Blake came up with a trysaving play when he knocked the ball dead.
A penalty against Ryan Matterson for a crusher tackle in the opening minute of the second half put the Eels on the back foot before a dropped ball by Blake compounded their woes and To'o capitalised with his second try of the night to make it 22-0.
Some slick ball movement by the Eels looked to have opened the door for Maika Sivo to grab their first try of the decider but a last-ditch tackle by Crichton denied the Fijian flyer.
A clever cross field kick by Mahoney opened the door for Bailey Simonsson to race into the back field in the 58th minute but the Eels centre was cut down by Dylan Edwards in a classic cover tackle.
Charlie Staines then finished off great lead-up work by Isaah Yeo, Cleary and Edwards to score and Cleary's conversion made it 28-0.
Cleary went within inches of a try in the 69th minute but lost the ball just short as the Eels clung on grimly despite the scoreline against them.
Eels skipper Gutherson was rewarded for a couraegous effort when he grabbed a consolation try in the 77th minute and Jake Arthur also crossed late but the night belonged to the Panthers.
The Panthers have become the first team in history to win the Jersey Flegg, SG Ball, reserve grade (NSW Cup) and first grade premierships in the one season, confirming their status as the modern masters of rugby league.
Match Snapshot
The first penalty of the night came in the eighth minute against the Panthers for interference in the play the ball.
Star hooker Api Koroisau was injected into the game from the bench in the 17th minute and immediately had a hand in Brian To'o's try.
The Panthers dominated possession in the first half with 60 per cent to the Eels' 40 per cent.
Nathan Brown was thrown into the game by Eels coach Brad Arthur after 31 minutes replacing Reagan Campbell-Gillard.
Panthers winger Brian To'o had 15 runs for 177 metres in the opening half and went on to make a staggering 299 metres for the game.
Bailey Simonnson tried hard all night for the Eels with 153 metres from 16 runs, as did Reed Mahoney (56 tackles) and Isaiah Papali'i (49 tackles).
Ivan Cleary coached his 200th game for the Panthers in Sunday’s grand final. His record stands at 122 wins, 77 losses and one draw. Cleary has coached the most games of any Penrith coach.
Bailey Simonsson (Raiders, 2019) and Ryan Matterson (Roosters, 2018) were the only Eels players to have previously played in a grand final.
Spencer Leniu was dynamic off the bench again for the Panthers with 104 run metres from nine runs in 21 minutes of game time.
Panthers centre Izack Tago left the field in the 52nd minute for a HIA after a head clash with Reed Mahoney. He passed and was able to return.
James Fisher-Harris was immense up front for the premiers with 201 metres from 20 runs.
Eels centre Bailey Simonsson was forced off in the 58th minute with a shoulder injury.
Jake Arthur took the field with five minutes to play off the Eels bench and grabbed a late try.
Play of the Game
Move over, Scott Sattler, and make room for Dylan Edwards in the Grand Final Cover Tackle Hall of Fame. With the Eels desperately seeking their first try after 58 minutes it was Bailey Simonnson who raced away down the left side, skipping clear of a Charlie Staines tackle before Edwards hit top speed and launched himself in a copybook tackle that must have had Sattler up and out of his seat. Some 19 years after Sattler's tackle on Todd Byrne, the Panthers' brilliant No.1 evoked memories of that magic moment with his classic trysaver.
What They Said
“Look they’re a very good team and they played very well. That first half they just played too fast for us. We’re disappointed but I just said to the boys right now isn’t the time to review or dissect that, we were just beaten by a better team and they were too good for us tonight. At the end of the day, we’ve got 80 minutes of a lifetime and we can’t be looking for excuses, we were just beaten by a better team. It’s a tough road to get here and maybe the tough road took its toll on us but it’s a big achievement. I just want to focus on how proud I am of the guys as individuals and as men.” – Eels coach Brad Arthur
“They’re a quality team and when you give them that much ball on your line, it just felt like they were kicking them anywhere. They’re a great team and they made us pay, it probably could have been more but we just kept turning up. It’s disappointing but someone’s got to lose and unfortunately, it was us.” – Eels captain Clint Gutherson
“It’s hard to put it into words but it’s definitely been an emotional 24 hours. I got a bit emotional yesterday, I don’t even know why, I think it’s just because this team won’t stay together. We’ve done so well for so long and I thought anyone can win on the day and anyone can win any game. I just wanted it to go well on the biggest night and I honestly couldn’t ask for anything more. The boys were unbelievable. That first half was honestly just a dream come true. I sat back and watched the boys go to work. Over the last couple of years in the grand finals we’ve played in I think we’ve learnt a fair bit so we put that to good use. I’m certainly blessed to be their coach.” – Panthers coach Ivan Cleary
“I thought that first half was probably the best 40 minutes we’ve put together almost over that three-year period [2020-22]. Just in terms of what we wanted to do. It was very nice to play the way we wanted to on the biggest stage. We’ve worked hard for that, not only physically but mentally and it came through on the day.” – Panthers captain Nathan Cleary
What's Next
A well earned rest for a number of players while others will head to the World Cup with their respective nations to chase glory on the international stage.
Crazy
In a church, by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child know.
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend, and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive, unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless
We are a little crazy
Crazy yellow people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little crazy
No no, never survive, unless we get a little bit
Oh, a little bit
Oh, a little bit
Amanda decides to go along after seventeen years
Oh darlin'
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy, crazy
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe, oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy
But were never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy
No were never gonna to survive unless we are a little
But were never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy
No were never gonna to survive unless, we are a little, crazy
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit...
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday, only child know
Them things
The size of which you've never known before
Someday, someway, someway, someway, someday, someday...

Geelong Cats: 2022 AFL Premiers
The Cats saluted for this year's premiership on Saturday, completing a dominant season in equally as destructive fashion against Sydney with an 81-point win at the MCG.
One of the oldest clubs in the competition added the 10th cup of its history to its coffers in commanding style, with the Cats claiming their 16th consecutive win with the 20.13 (133) to 8.4 (52) thrashing.
The Grand Final was back at the MCG for the first time since 2019, with Robbie Williams producing the greatest pre-game entertainment footy has seen. But the result was similar to three years ago, when Richmond hammered an overawed Greater Western Sydney.
And through it all, Geelong was on top, with Chris Scott notching his second premiership as coach after his debut triumph in 2011. Surely this one was sweeter, given the Cats' close runs and near misses in previous campaigns.
Surely, too, for captain Joel Selwood, who secured his fourth premiership but first as skipper in a brilliant 26-disposal typically hard-edged performance.
The Cats' comprehensive win carried storylines everywhere: from the mature-age recruits who dominated, such as Isaac Smith and his three-goal and 32-disposal performance. Smith's standout game was rewarded with a Norm Smith Medal, another astounding part of the game in his second season after crossing from Hawthorn where he was a key member of its triple-premiership teams form 2013-15.
Then, to the veterans like Tom Hawkins (three goals) and Mitch Duncan (27 disposals, one goal) who weren't going to let the chance for another premiership slip, to the superstars who so desperately wanted their first flags in Patrick Dangerfield (26 disposals, nine clearances) and Jeremy Cameron (18 disposals, two goals).
There were the fresher faces, like Sam De Koning, Zach Guthrie and Brad Close who all paid their way, and Tyson Stengle? His story grows another incredible chapter after a game-high four goals, while another two Irishmen became premiership players – Zach Tuohy and Mark O'Connor.
This was a Grand Final Bloods bath – from start to end.
It was a first quarter that will live on in the memories of Cats fans forever. In fact, it might already be on repeat around the country.
After dominating the first nine minutes without getting the scoreboard reward, Geelong then banged home six goals in the next 21 minutes to set up a 35-point lead at quarter-time – the biggest in a Grand Final since the 1989 classic.
Hawkins started the run with back-to-back goals out of the ruck inside 50, before Selwood and Dangerfield's commanding midfield performances led to more opportunities. Selwood wound the clock back with 12 disposals in the opening term while Dangerfield was destructive, having six touches and three clearances.
One of those led to a goal to Smith, who then streamed forward and kicked his second. Smith then set up another for Close, who capped a terrific term by slotting a difficult shot. It wasn't as if everything was falling Geelong's way – the Cats had forced it this way with a brutal beginning.
All-Australian forward Stengle got involved in the second term, kicking two goals, but the Bloods stopped the bleeding to hold the deficit to 36 points at half-time.
The Swans had managed to get back into the contest around the ball as co-captain Callum Mills slotted a long bomb and Isaac Heeney's goal just before half-time in what was just his second kick of the game at least saw him impact the contest.
But it was short-lived. If the first quarter was the business, the third quarter was the party. The Swans could manage just one point as the Cats piled on six goals to steamroll them into oblivion.
They came in different ways: Duncan the beneficiary of a holding the ball free kick, Close the winner from a Tom McCartin miskick. Smith added another long goal before Stengle kicked two of his own, his fourth coming from the boundary line in front of a Geelong faithful that has embraced the former Crows and Tigers small forward from the moment they recruited him last year for a last chance.
The Swans had entered the game on a nine-match winning streak after last week's one-point thriller against Collingwood, but that proved to be their limit as they were outplayed by the season's best side. Chad Warner (29 disposals, two goals) was among the few winners for the Swans, while Tom Papley tried hard. Lance Franklin was held to four kicks and one behind in his sixth Grand Final and was jeered late in the game.
There were only cheers for Geelong, though, as the Cats cruised to the premiership, a success many years in the making and one set to be celebrated for many years to come, with Selwood's late banana the cream on the Cats' cake.
