Another record that’s gone unnoticed

We now move into equal second on the all time Premierships list with the St George Dragons on 15.

Imagine if we won the other four..we’d be breathing down the vermin’s necks.

Nice post - big moment in League history

I thought the drags were on 16 after 2010?

Three comps in seven years is pretty special.

Most successful team of the decade (with some heavy duty competition from Melbourne).

Most successful team of the NRL era (the only team with four premierships).

Also the biggest cone in an NRL GF.

1971:

Souths 20 Premierships vs Easts 9 Premierships

2019:

Souths 21 Premierships vs Easts 15 Premierships


Since 1972 that's 6 titles for us and 1 for them, at the rate it's only a matter of time as we are slowly creeping up on them. That's why they are freaking out, if they lose the 'forever in our shadow' they will have nothing

Hey North, does the 21 for the vermin include the 1909 asterisk?

[ccfc bondi]

If only we hadn't been ripped off in 1972 and 2010. Oh, that's right! Bad ref calls only count if they happen in the last few minutes!

We copped a rough deal in 2010 but Saints were a better side then us overall and deserved the victory. 03 and 04 are the one's we should have won

Unfortunately was counting 1909 in the 21 although I will include the asterisk next time!

Can't agree. We were the best team in that comp. There was a potential 18 point turnaround in the first half (and Carney was converting everything!) because of bad calls and in the second half the Roosters were forced to play catch-up football in driving rain, making errors from risky play they wouldn't have needed to attempt if they had the lead they should've had.
