Comparing Melbourne to the 75 Roosters.....

[Alderley Rooster]

That will do me. This Storm team are nowhere near in the same class. just playing in a far weaker comp with teams who would be challengers decimated by injuries

 

[horrie hastings]

Different era, back in 1975 it was a twelve team comp and teams played each other twice and you still had your weak teams back then also. All i can say is go Parra next week so the record is not broken.

 

[forby]

You can’t compare different eras in pure number terms. Both were incredible efforts, just like Penrith last year.

[Steel Saints]

Different era, different rules, different world. You can't compare them. Storm are achieving this during a pandemic. Easts players had jobs away from football.

 

[Perth Red]

Did Roosters do it with some of their best players missing during the run? It is a weak comp though for sure.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

Win more than 11 premierships consecutively, then we’ll listen..

 

[Diesel]

Means nothing if they don’t win the big dance in 7 weeks.

but congratulations on the winning record

Exactly right

It’s a nice achievement, but not the main goal. I don’t know that OP is a bit mad though.

 

[mozza91]

Geez they’re struggling big time without the supposed best player of all time aren’t they?

If this Melbourne side is salary cap compliant, then I have heard of Jason Smith before. That second set of books have been resurrected.

Ian Schubert was man of the match for Easts in the '75 grand final. He later went on to become the NRL salary cap auditor. A salary cap which Melbourne ignored for many years, and which the Sydney Roosters ignore to this day.

Talk about your six degrees of separation!

Is Alderley Roosters the most butthurt poster of all time? He's seething over the Roosters being less relevant this year.

He's up there, we all carry on a bit when the ref rips our team off but nothing like this bloke

Agreed
The 75 Roosters are weaker and not in the same class

This thread is dumb and @Alderley Rooster should feel dumb.

This still applies
