You know what sh*ts me?

Life is not a fairy tale. Shit happens. As far as I am concerned, we won in 2009. Record books might say otherwise.

Nup, we both walked out of that stadium knowing we lost that game. Winning a GF is all about the moment.

Come one, neither of us knew we were playing a cheating team. We though they were the best things we'd ever seen.

Of all the players to play 300 games or more, I think Hindy, ET, and Geoff Gerard are the only three to not win premierships. That's two out of three that played for the Eels.

Do you get a sense of about winning in 2009 though? Even if the NRL had awarded us the title once the Storm were stripped it wouldn't have been the same.

Yes! I understand why they did not award it to us as the Storm beat just about everyone else in the competition too. However, does that lower out achievement? I doubt it.

Anyways, this is about Hindy and so for him I will say its sad that he never won the premiership(2009 or otherwise).

GG decided to go to Manly from 1981 "to a team that can win a premiership"

I hate that the likes of Manly and the Dogs can win a premiership every decade. When I believe we are more resourceful in terms of juniors, ability to raise money to run a footy team and have a great fan base and we are just mongs that follow a team run by a Conga line of merkins that always seem to fall short since 86.
I feel like I've been short changed.

He'll probably end up never winning a Premiership. Karma's a bitch

Another Geoff Gerard


He was never going to get one at Cronulla, that's for sure...That makes him a good judge if you ask me!!! Every final game the Raiders win, takes him closer to the victory lap....not over yet....
