Grand finalists in the NRL vs AFL for the last 21 Years....

[jargan83]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the last 20 odd years the only side not to play in a Grand Final are the Titans?

Clearly the AFL Model is a much Fairer model.....


What a wonderfully diverse comp.
I look forward to the diversity of the next 21 seasons as well.

P.S Thanks Gregstar for supplying the info.

The comparison with the AFL is kind of irrelevant imo.

Point is that in the NRL 2 teams have occupied 17 of the last 21 Grand Finals.

2 out of 16 teams!

Something smells...

15 of 16 NRL teams have featured in Grand Finals in this time period you absolute peanuts.

 

[Dragsters]

Nice story, though irrelevant to the actual point.

Pillock.

Interesting seeing it like this. You'd have to say Manly and NQ punching above their weight whilst Souths, Dragons and Eels not doing as well as you'd expect for clubs of their size. Warriors remain the enigma of NRL!

Lol, dynasties are the norm, not the exception.

50s/60s dragons won 11 premierships in a row. Following that souffs win four in five years. The 70s see Manly win four premierships, with dragons getting two in three years and the Roosters going back to back. Along comes the 80s when Parramatta and Canterbury each win four premierships. Then Brisbane win 5 between 1992 and 2000.

Yet it's only now that people are walking away because of a couple of teams dominating? Lol

Souths also won 5 out of 7 grand finals before St George’s 11 straight started.

All of those achievements were pre-salary cap.

A salary cap which clearly either doesn't work or is being rorted.

Take your pick...

So St George’s 11 straight can’t be counted because it’s in a pre salary cap era? EPL domination can’t be counted since there is no salary cap

There is no actual point. You might think you have one, but you'd be incorrect.

Correct.

At least not in the context of this article.

Would be nice to see Raiders v someone other than Roosters or Storm and win it this year. Or by some miracle see the Warriors win one! Sadly Titans still look a very long way from reaching a GF.

This decade was pretty successful in that regard. 3 teams won their first premiership and some made their first grand final in years.

The Salary cap isn't there to create an equal competition. It's there to stop clubs from bankrupting themselves chasing premiership glory. The hope that it will create an even comp is just a bonus

We all know this inconvenient truth but the NRL does like t portray it as some sort of equalizer.

 

[gerg]

It's quite a few years ago now but the NRL used to boast about being the most evenly contested sporting competition in the world and the claim was largely based on the introduction of the salary cap.

So this proves that Melbourne Storm was the team of not one but two decades

what champs!!!

Without producing a single quality junior.

Victorians are in general shyte at sport, great at watching it, shyte at doing it, hence they play thier own game.

It is quite the effort.

The very moment they play something that is not VFL they struggle and produce every 20 years or so, some one decent.

All VFL players are failures.

Still the Storm number 1

No question, best QLD team for the last 20 years, played in Melbourne.
