You won both Grand Finals with sides that were deemed 'illegal', therefore your name was taken off the premiers list.
What pisses most fans off is that your cheating scum side took the opportunity away from 2 legitimate sides to win the comp. This in turn took away from everyone in those 2 sides(players, fans and officials) the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of have won the comp fairly.
go on and enjoy your hollow victory if it makes you feel good...but in the end history will show you won nothing but a massive fine.
It wasn't just 2 sides they robbed, it was every club. And that's coming from myself whose side was eliminated from the finals by the Storm in 2006, 2007 and 2009 and probably copped it the worst.
But in reality any team that was eliminated by the Storm in any of the finals series between 2006 and 2009 were robbed of the opportunity to win a premiership. The Tigers even in 2009 would have finished 8th had the Storm been caught earlier, and who knows they could have gone on a glory run and won the comp in 2009.
Your own side Manly could have gone back to back had the Storm not eliminated your club in the first round of the semis in '09. We'll never know.
