According to some stats i got since 01 the Dogs have won 5 matches and lost 8 in the finals.

Now three of those wins came in the premiership year of 04. So if you exclude that one good year the wins and the loses. The dogs have a history of losing a lot of matches in the finals.

Won 2 and lost 7.

Maybe they loved september in the 90's but not since the new millenium.

Without Cuts, Dogs really struggled again.

Why pull out this stat and remove the 'one good year'?

I hate the dogs more than any other club, but that is was absolutely useless.

Even without the one good year it's still 5 wins 8 losses tho.

The '1 good year' was the year AFTER they cheated the salary cap and then were allowed to give players pay cuts to try and win a premiership (who wouldn't stay around for that) and then also allowed to pay the players EXTRA with any money granted the club IF they won a premiership. There's a decent argument for not counting it....

Thankyou Parramatta for putting the puppies to the sword and ending this so called reign as the "Dogs of War" and "No one wants to play the Dogs come September"

Parramatta = Myth Busters

 

[kia ora storm]

how was that a choke??

we had our best player off the field, and we fought till the end.

yes, the dogs of war thing is a myth, hopefully the media get over it. Its been a myth since the 90s

I agree...it is pathetic how a team is referred to as chokers simply because they lose a game ??.

I was wanting the Dogs to win so that the Storm could get them next week...Storm would definitely want to play them in September !!. The reason being that Parra are a geniune threat and the Dogs really have no forward dominance or structure.;-)

 

[ShineDog]

How Sherwin has a premiership ring is seriously beyond me...

Easy..he out played all the other halves and lead the Dogs to a Premiership!!

 

[innsaneink]

Seems people dunno what choke ''means''

You need to be a red hot favourite, you need to be winning everything and anything.

Dogs were neither, winning two of their last seven games.....if anything they were ''consistent''...not chokers.

 

[ShineDog]

So if the the Eels lose next week ...is that classed as a choke...f**k no!

If the Eels lead 30 to nil with 14 mins to go , and lose ...now that's a choke.

Exactly...it seems that if you lose any game then you choke ???...:roll:

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Choke? lol

Poor? Yes!

Tired? Yes. Tends to happen when you defend most of the match due to sh*thouse ref calls

Finch? LOL

Eels don't stand a chance against the Storm!

Exactly. A prelim final 8 years ago, yes. 2001 GF? No. Dogs last night? No.

Spoon holders bagging semi finallists for losing? LOL. Didn't Penriff put 40 on the Dogs earlier this year? What happened after that?

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Dogs didnt choke they were sh*t all year so a loss was expected.

Exactly!
