Has every team in the comp now been last in the comp at least once in their history?

Do any of the posted stats change if you exclude Round 1 tables? Seems a bit meaningless to include as you only need one bad game to be on the bottom of the ladder.

Would be better to say "teams that have been on the bottom of the table for at least 5 weeks straight"

MacDougall - that would actually be St Geo Illa.
Newcastle were last...last at the end of that year.

2007 - Dragons, Knights
2009 - Sea Eagles, Roosters
2010 - Rabbitohs, Broncos, Sharks, Storm
2011 - Panthers, Titans
2012 - Cowboys, Eels
2013 - Tigers, Raiders, Bulldogs, Warriors

What about longest time since being first? Not sure I can even remember Tigers being on top of the ladder.

Did Souths get there early this year, if not they'd probably have gone longer.

We were first after Round 4, 2009. Don't think we've hit top this year because of Melbourne's better PD.

We put 40 past the Roosters in round 1, 2010. Iirc. I think they scored 20 odd in return but we would surely have led the table at some point that year.

Wests Tigers have never been first on the ladder at any point in time

Glebe - Round 6, 1928 was the first time they were last. (268 games without being last)

University - Round 4, 1920 was the first time they were last. (2 games without being last - they had a bye in Round 1)

Strangely enough, around midway through 2000 they were outright second with a negative points differential.

its all relevant, balmain tigers have won 11 comps in their history and 4 wooden spoons. western suburbs magpies have won 4 comps and 17 wooden spoons. as a merged club wests tigers have won 1 comp and have never won the wooden spoon.

You really do covet the title of biggeat wanker troll, don't you isaiah? Keep going. You'll get there eventually.

seriously though, over the last 25 years they are the team with the most finals appearances and have never looked like finishing 3 or 4 places from the bottom of the comp, let alone last. they just do their homework about who to keep and who to develop and always have. and players at the end of their contracts are generally happy to stay for less money.

Lol you're kidding right? Only decent QLD team going for quite some time, of course QUEENSlanders wanna stay where they're from and end up getting less money in return.

Your club has literally built ALL its success off your messiah players and crumbled every single time they've retired/left. Bongos are a joke of a club and bankrolled by a f**king propaganda outlet.
