This weeks #ThrowBackThursday is going all the way back to the 80's as Maroon is joined by Panthers legends - Darryl 'The Big Marn' Brohman & Greg 'Brandy' Alexander.

From 'The Big Marn' arriving at Penrith in 1979 all the way through to the Panthers first ever premiership in 1991... with some Gus Gould, broken jaws and hilarious yarns sprinkled in for good measure... this is a cracking episode for Panthers fans and lovers of rugby league in general.

In this episode:

  • Brandy takes us back to what he calls 'the best time of his life' - his school boy days at Patrician Brothers Fairfield (2:44)
  • Darryl left the Panthers for the Bulldogs in 1983 - before Brandy's arrival in '84 - but he still recalls the hype around Brandy's arrival in Penrith (5:06)
  • Playing for match payments (7:28)
  • 'The Big Marn' discusses his big move to Sydney and his arrival at Penrith in '79 (8:52)
  • Darryl shares a hilarious story from his days playing with Gus Gould at Canterbury (13:09)
  • 1991 Penrith Panthers win FIRST PREMIERSHIP in clubs history - Brandy discusses how it changed the club and the Penrith region (15:32)
  • The polarising and enigmatic GUS GOULD (18:30)
  • Maroon asks Darryl about his infamous broken jaw in '83 Origin thanks to a Les Boyd elbow to the face (26:08)
  • After a stint at the Bulldogs, The Big Marn returns to Penrith in 1986 (28:29)
  • The Big Marn didn't play much first grade in 1987 because of a brutal Tim Sheen's 'fitness focused' selection criteria (30:41)
  • Maroon points out that The Big Marn was a glaring omission from Brandy's 'best ever Panthers side' (33:43)
  • To finish Maroon and the boys discuss the 2020 Panthers side and their chances of taking out the Premiership (36:03)
