Ray Price played 259 games across 11 seasons for Parramatta. In that time we played in 10 final series, 7 grand finals and won 4 premierships. A record of over 90% finals and over 60% grand final appearances, as well as over 35% premiership record.
Mick Cronin played 216 games across 10 seasons for Parramatta. In that time we played in 9 final series, 6 grand finals and won 4 premierships. Obviously zero wooden spoons. A record of 90% finals and 60% grand final appearances, as well as over 40% premiership record.
The one season they didn't make the finals, they were only one position away from the finals (6th in 1980).
In the 29/30 seasons prior to their arrival, we only played in 6 final series (around 20%), for no grand final appearances (and obviously no premierships). We won 11 wooden spoons (around 37%).
In the 37 seasons since their departure, we have played in 15 final series (around 40%), and 3 (8%) grand final appearances (and obviously no premierships). We won the same amount of wooden spoons as grand final appearances in that time. Incidentally, Brad Arthur has been a part of 67% of those wooden spoons the club has had since both Price and Cronin joined the club.
We could really do with a couple of winners like Pricey and Crow at the moment...
