Why did you only include one team for the NRL grand finals but both for the AFL grand finals?

Sorry I pasted it from the original thread elsewhere....I have now Updated it for you...

Doesn't change the FACT that 2 teams have dominated in the last 21 Years...

Storm 9 GF's...Roosters 8 GF's

As much as I do get sick of seeing the Roosters and Storm thereabouts every year, now that we've made it, that means every team except the Titans has made a Grand Final in the NRL era.

Good luck to the Green machine on Sunday...unfortunately I think you guys will be the underdogs due to the Roster and experience in the Roosters side.

Go Fitzroy and South Melbourne.

When thier women competition overtakes the mens, I will be happy.

The VFL is not a competition, just a promotion of poor skills.

Whilst we’ve had two dominant teams they’ve had swans, west coast, hawthorn and lions with 4 or 5 appearances each.

Yet that doesn't compare with the Storm's 9 appearances and Roosters 8....that is double the closest in the AFL.

I don’t think the numbers bear out what you’re saying. While the Roosters and Storm have been consistently good, we compare favorably to the AFL in every stat.

In the past 20 years, these are the teams (11/18) that have played in an AFL GF:
West Coast
Collingwood
Richmond
Adelaide
Western Bulldogs
Sydney Swans
Hawthorn
Fremantle Dockers
Geelong
St Kilda
Port Adelaide

And for the NRL (11/16)
Brisbane
Melbourne
Manly
Roosters
Dragons
Warriors
Bulldogs
Rabbitohs
North Qld
Sharks
Eels

In the last 20 years, the following (11/18) teams have won the AFL.

West coast
Richmond
Western Bulldogs
Hawthorn
Sydney Swans
Geelong
Collingwood
Port Adelaide
Brisbane Lions
Essendon
North Melbourne

In the same 20 years the following (11/16) teams have won the NRL:
Roosters
Melbourne
Sharks
Rabbitohs
Manly
Dragons
North Qld
Bulldogs
Panthers
Tigers
Knights

In the past 10 years these (7/18) teams have won the AFL:

West Coast
Richmond
Western Bulldogs
Hawthorn
Sydney Swans
Geelong
Collingwood

While in the NRL it’s these (7/16)
Roosters
Melbourne
Sharks
North Queensland
Rabbitohs
Manly
Dragons

Clearly you weren't following the AFL during the period of 2007-2015. Every Grand Final except 2010 had either Geelong or Hawthorn in it. Those two teams were consistently dominating throughout that era, in 2016 when Hawthorn didn't make finals for the first time in 10 years people were celebrating just because Hawthorn couldn't be in the grand final for a fifth straight time.

The only thing this is telling me is that the Storm and Roosters have lost a shit load of Grand Finals combined.
