I think a top side is like the Broncos PRIOR to this year; arguably one of the most dominant teams of the decade. They always made the finals and always threatened for Premierships.
Or a team like the Dragons; they've had a couple of shockers, but are capable of playing incredible footy; and (I THINK) they are the second most successful club after South Sydney.
Parramatta has existed for 4o-odd years and we have won 4 Premierships. Yes, since Brian came (bar this year) we have consistently made the finals. But I think a top team has to do more than that.
Don't get me wrong. You all know by now I BLEED, SWEAT and CRY Blue and Gold. But I don't think we are a Top Side. We haven't reached that peak yet.
And the Rorters are starting to attain that peak IMHO.
