3/3, QLD just don’t get winning Premierships lol.
How good was that comeback steered by Nathan Cleary and Moses Leota.

If that's what it takes to help you get over another Origin debacle, go hard.

Billy re-signs, hours later, Freddie resigns. Coincidence?

How do you get smug?
I think it's the exact opposite and it's a big part of his success.

As a coach probably not so much

as a player for the storm and that qld dynasty ?

the very definition

Well freddy was a panther... left for the bondi beaches, i doubt he wants to hang around many more smugness, which billy oozes, aswell as all the players he'll have to pick in his own smug squad

Can’t beat clubs with strong junior catchments

clubs like the storm or roosters are no longer the benchmark

in this new reality obviously brisbane nz2 or png will have that advantage over wasteland states

Do you really, really believe that we would have got 350 000 viewers in Melbourne without them having the Storm`s presence. Seriously.

Put Wests Panthers from Brissy into the comp.

Put Wests Panthers from Brissy into the comp.

What happened with the Wests Panthers playing in the QLD Cup ?.
Not strong enough ?, finances ?, a combination of both ?.

The NRL don’t seem to be a fan of strong junior catchments, they’d rather their ridiculous salary cap tear these clubs apart and support clubs like the Storm and the Roosters who have little to no grassroots rugby league.
Atleast VIC are finally making inroads in AFL territory, let’s hope some more young locals start making appearances at the top level.
I know that clubs can’t keep every player but Penrith should be able to offer a player like Stephen Crichton top dollar and match offers from rivals like the Bulldogs.
The salary cap should reward clubs who have players who have come through their junior catchment areas.
Seriously how many players were from St Marys Saints in Penriths NRL line up, very impressive.
Sure not every club has a junior nursery like Penrith, for clubs like Melbourne obviously they need a hand, for clubs like the Roosters who have been around since 1908 I’m not so sure.
What do the Roosters actually offer rugby league ?.

They had a pretty average year until the last month or so but still have the 3rd highest average crowds of the whole comp. One of the biggest Sydney clubs these days.

I'm oversimplifying, but they couldn't keep up with the costs of running a team.

Zero, they are a drain on the player pool, I'd rather Norths be in the comp than them, as souths could service their 4 clubs of the eastern suburbs, atleast norths would encompass North harbour, Hornsby, Chatswood all the way to Gosford, the roosters are the equivalent of one Hull we never needed
