I enjoyed the 89 Grand Final. I didnt enjoy the Panthers comeback against the Broncos. I too supported the Raiders that day. Hated Balmain and many other Sydney clubs at the time. Also good seeing a young club win their first grand final.

Also supported the Broncos in '92 and '93 against the Dragons. Those two grand finals were so one-sided with the big red v never standing a chance.

Those Broncos teams those 2 years were maybe the best team to ever play the game.

exactly, the Eels 80's teams were the best ever also. I dont think the current Panthers compare to those to teams.

Shame we could never see the great 80's Eels take on the current Panthers, with both teams young and fit.

Sterlo v Langer which did happen in the late 80s, Ella v Renouf, Lazarus v O'Reilly. Current Panthers would be destroyed by the Eels if the 80s Eels were brought up to today's standards.

Because of the salary cap I dont think that any team these days will be better than the 80's Eels and 90's Broncos.

Also another great team was the Raiders, I think they would have been a huge challenge for the Eels and Broncos as well.

The Raiders were definitely up there with the Eels and Broncos.

The Raiders were definitely up there with the Eels and Broncos. I would say those three were the greatest in the modern game.
