The TOP NRL comeback of the decade

Every punter has been on the wrong end of a bad beat at some point. A dropped ball, team-wide collapse or heroic game-saving play routinely break the hearts of fans and punters across every code. It’s one of the unfortunate realities of humans backing other humans competing in professional sports.

The NRL is one of the closest sporting competitions in the world. As a result, we’ve witnessed plenty of memorable heartbreakers throughout the NRL era. Perhaps the most notable of the last few seasons is the Penrith Panthers’ miraculous comeback against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 11 of the 2018 season.

Flying out to a 24-6 lead, the Sea Eagles had the two competition points in the bag; Manly punters had already begun to distribute their winnings towards various purchases. Panthers backers, on the other hand, had given up hope. Even when Josh Mansour crossed the line in the 67th minute, the mountain seemed too high for the Panthers to climb.

However, within five minutes, it was Sea Eagles punters pulling their hair out. The Panthers ran in three tries to record miraculous 28-24 victory. Just like that, the tables had turned, and Sea Eagles punters were left empty handed. Trent Barrett soon lost his job as head coach, too.

Fast-forward to 2020, and Palmerbet’s Game Saver token ensures that those punters left heartbroken don’t leave with nothing (there isn’t anything we can do for Trent, though).

There is no more sweating while you watch the wheels fall of your team. One pre-match tap gives you the freedom to sit back and relax throughout the final stages of any AFL, NRL, NBA or NFL match, because if your team is leading going into the final quarter and loses, the Game Saver token is there to nurse any bad beats.

Just select your best bet in the match result market every week, enter your stake, and tap Game Saver to make those heartbreaking bad beats a little bit easier to manage.

You can bet Sea Eagles punters wish they had this option in 2018.
