  • Lets settle this once and for all

    There’s been a lot of talk recently about the club of the decade and it’s come down to a single match between the mighty Roosters and the Storm this Saturday night.

    I’m younger than 40 years old and so in my football lifetime the only club that’s received that title were the Broncos of the 90s, with four minor premierships and five premierships (if you count 2000).

    This is unless, of course you count the Storm’s success through the 2000s. They had two premierships and three minor premierships stripped, rightly, for cheating. One of the players involved is still at the club.

    So I’m just putting this out there – if the Storm go on to win the premiership this year they will have won three minor premierships in four years and two premierships in three years, matching exactly their run in the late 2000s.

    If however, the Roosters go on to win the premiership this year, we will have matched their minor premiership record (plus one), but we will have added an extra bragging right that even the cheating Storm of the late 2000s were unable to achieve – back to back premierships.

    As such, this Saturday’s game will determine more than just the club of the decade, it will show that the Storms run of the late 2000s can not be replicated by them without cheating, and it will position the Roosters to become the most dominant club since the Broncos of the 90s, settling once and for all that the Roosters are greater than the Storm.

    Would be a nice little side achievement to go with being first back to back in many years.

        So was I but 2018-2019 would be better. Being 7 & 8 back then didn't give me an appreciation for what an achievement in would be to go B2B. It would be truly wonderful if they pull this off.

            I'm calling it.
            the Storm have been unable to replicate their winning record of the late 2000s.
            So their success of the late 2000s was because of their cheating.
            Thanks for coming.

              The Storm are just the GWS Giants with a little more good publicity. Both them and the Giants are propped up by their respective codes, have no juniors and are made up of players from all over, and have never made a profit in their entire existence.
