Ok, so theres been talk of the Storm being a better team than the Roosters. Thats just not true.
I would argue that if we win in 2020, we will be the best Rugby League team since the Dragons of the 60s (they won 11 premierships in a row).
So lets take a look at the contenders:
Parramatta of the 80s: 4 premierships (3 in a row) and 3 minor premierships
Broncos of the 90s: 5 premierships (2 sets of back to back, though one was during Super League, so questionable) and 4 minor premierships
Storm since 2006: 2 premierships (2 were stripped) 4 minor premierships (3 were stripped)
Roosters of the 2010s: 3 premierships (including a back to back) and 4 minor premierships.
So lets say we win 2020, our record will be: 4 premierships (including 3 in a row) and 4 minor premierships.
My thoughts are that we have already outdone the Storm and we will have outdone Parramatta.
My question is, will we have outdone the Broncos of the 90s? Does 3 in a row beat 2 back to back (especially since one of these was during Super League)? They also have an extra premiership (Super League though).
If we will have outdone the Broncos of the 90s (i believe we will have), we will have been the best team since the Dragons of the 50s / 60s.
