A Current Affair Staff
Even if you're not a footy fan, it was hard to look away from the NRL grand final when the Penrith Panthers made history in a mind-boggling comeback against the Broncos.
For helicopter crash survivor and avid Panthers fan Nicky Tadros, it was a very special night.
Panthers star Jerome Luai, who went to the youngster's bedside during his recovery after the January crash on the Gold Coast, hugged Nicky after the game and even gave him his premiership-winning ring to try on - a moment beyond his wildest dreams.
