at least neither of those teams made the grand final, it would have been worse losing to one of them

Can you believe the Storm have appeared in 8 Grand Finals in the past 12 years!!. If the NRL only had Sydney teams, then you might see an Eels v Bulldogs GF again. |

most of those Storm appearances they were cheating. Let's see. In the past 12 seasons, 8 GF appearances, winning 4 GF's, but 2 were stripped. In my book, 2 from 8 is quite pathetic!! LOL |

Buffalo made 4 straight Super Bowls and lost all 4, they are still regarded as one of the best teams ever. Lebron James has been to 8 straight championships but won 3 do you think that is bad? The storm making 8 in 12 years is impressive.

The storm making 8 in 12 years is impressive. I was referring to the success rate. 2 from 8 is disappointing, considering how dominant they were. 2 is better than 0, but their reward was minimal. Similar to Manly in 1995, 96 & 97. One of the best teams I have ever seen play, but 1 from 3. It really should of been 3 from 3 and their win came against a choking Dragons team. Parra on the other hand in the 80's, won 3 from 4 and only lost that 1 game by 2 points. Now that's converting dominance into success. |

shame the Eels havent done that ever since 1986. 2001 should have been a certainty but they choked.

Brian Smith wasnt good at getting a team over the final hurdle. His coaching career proved that
