If Melbourne loses the title who gets it? Parra or nobody?
And does Manly have two titles on the trot now?

No, the season pans out differently, the Storm don't eliminate Manly and Brisbane in 09 and Brisbane and Parramatta in 07. By that logic the Dragons should get a shot at Brisbane from 06 and Cronulla at Manly in 08

Broncos could say they were robbed of a grand final appearance by the storm in the prem final

And who knows what the result would have been ,why the nrl cant award it to the runners up

AtWarrington we were worried that Hicks and Monas would be fighting over Kings medal!!

In all seriousness though, i think a few of them players will be playing super 15 next year...

Gaba, because they didn't win it. The Storm knocked out multiple teams in the finals, robbed each of the equally a chance to win the competition.

The record books will say Stripped in 2007 and 2009 for the Premiership and the same for 2006, 2007 and 2008 minor premierships.


Those interested, FOX 2 NRL Tactics are going in depth into this.

We should get the 2009 premiership. If they were docked points then, we finish 8th. We have a 100% record in finals series, so we continue that and win the comp.

Seems a lot of people on radio etc are saying Manly and Parra should be awarded those premierships. It's a silly argument though as every team knocked out in the semis was equally robbed. Technically even teams knocked out in '06 and '08 were robbed as they were prevented a chance at contesting a grand final against Brisbane and Manly.

There is an awesome point on facebook relating to the news story - How fantastic does our 40 - 0 victory look now? Goes to show money can't always buy a premiership

(As pointed out by some dude on the radio)
Parra wouldn't have made the finals last year if the Bulldogs two stripped points for an extra player had been awarded to Penrith, so I don't see how Parra deserve it.
And Manly should definately have the 2007 GF added.

The thing about this is I'm worried half the comp is over the cap. Let's face it it wouldn't be hard to do.

Yeah, Parra wouldnt of even made the 8 if you give the win to all the teams the storm beat last year!!

You have to earn a Premiership Parra, not get them through default.
Nice try though!

I support Manly, and I'm not complaining. Oh thats right we destroyed the storm the year after....Whooooooooooooooooooooo 40-0 Baby. Money cant buy that stuff!!

Without Melbourne, Brisbane could/would have been in the 2009 grand final, and we have a 100% record in grand finals. Hmmm..

just goes to show 'a lot' people are unable to logically analyse and think things through. the premierships in those seasons didnt just hinge on the one game in october. every loss melbourne inflicted on any team in those seasons affected the course of that team's season.

manly and parra were simply lucky that their course to the GFs werent affected. it shouldnt be rewarded with a premiership.

Manly were simply lucky they happened to finish 2nd on the ladder in 2007 behind Melbourne, and rolled every side that year? Good one dunce.

I don't believe the premierships should be given to Manly and Parra, because tbh getting the 2007 premiership wouldn't give me much enjoyment, and obviously Melbourne cheating changed the whole course of the seasons. But to say Manly were lucky to get where they were is laughable.
