Following on from the great club sides thread, many people bemoan the fact we never got to see a GF in the early 90s of Brisbane v Canberra. What are some other GFs (or any match-ups) that we never got to see? Many Grand Finals don't end up being the best two sides, especially in the old McIntyre 8 era.
I'm disappointed that the great Brisbane and Newcastle sides of 1997-2001 never met in a GF. They were always one game off and we never got the satisfaction of seeing SL v ARL.
Others I can think of include Eels v Dragons or Eels v Tigers in 2005, Eels and Dragons were electric that year and although it probably wouldn't have topped the Tigers run it was disappointing we didn't see them in a big game. Also would have been more satisfying seeing the Tigers beat the minor premiers in the GF, rather than 5th.
Also missing out on Souths v Roosters in 2013-14 and even this year.
