5 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws after 10 rounds. Only one loss thereafter (against NZ) until the GF.

I was close...Id say 85% correct and I didnt have to check no stats. That was all stored away from 16yrs ago.
And pou thinks he can beat me, I will defeat you Pou

2001 was special, but I think the loss in the GF was so painful I can't name it as my favorite season. I was just so shattered after that game.
Same in 2005.

2009 had a terrible period where we were close to the bottom of the ladder, only to have us suddenly find top gear and win a shitload of games to make the GF. From absolute low to absolute high. I wasn't as shattered after the GF that year simply because I thought Melbourne were the best team and we we probably not going to win. Plus they then got stripped of that Premiership which makes it even better, haha.
In both 2001 and 2009 an uncontested mid field bomb cost us both g/f.

Agree, 2001 we started poor but we looked so dam good every game was easy.

2009 was more a dream. We had to win every game just about to make the 8. And we did it.
We where not just a bad side we where woefull. Ive never seen a team in the NRL trasform like that . What a shame a team, that cheated robbed us of history. A real f**king shame that one. I still remember a whole family of f**ks storm supporters laughing all game at the GF. The NRL glorify Slater and Cam but gee
Was that the game the dirty Storm put the chicken wing on Cayless and continued doing it until NRL clamped down? They also started the wrestling and crusher tackles didn't they?

Now that I come to think of it, we might of lost Rd 2 to the Sharks, Rd 4 to Newcastle, Rd 6 in Canberra.
Drew in Rd 8 and Rd 10 for a 5-2-3 start. Something like that.
P.S. Thanks.
Newcastle beat us easily with Andrew Johns and we slaughtered them later on without Johns. Always thought they were our biggest threat and unfortunately it turned out that way. How could they play the perfect first 40 mins plus deny us 2 trys?

Ive said this before and ill say it again, we had nervous energy due to the fact the previous semi finals we played at 3pm. Knights played theirs at 730pm

This GF was the first at 8pm. We looked and played like a deer in headlights

Had we matched them in the first half (like we have with other sides) we had the artillery to run away in the 2nd half

Not to be
