Saying the ARL was a stronger comp is just a troll.
Subtract the players that Brisbane gained from Super League - Tallis, Mundine and others - and you have what they achieved in 1996 - squat. Plus, half the SL comp was made up in the last 3 years- Hunter Mariners FFS.Let's be serious for a minute. If 1997 was a united comp the Broncos would have wiped the floor with the Knights.
mate news ltd saved the f**king game and has expanded the game...think north qld, auckland and melbourne.. get your head out of the sand for once
^That's cute and all, but the fact of the matter is Brisbane put one of the greatest club sides of all time on the park in 1997, and would of beat every ARL club by 50 points.

The ARL were struggling big time in 1997. Just how much were they struggling? In a 12 team comp they had a finals system that had 7 teams.
lol nice bait.
this will be good for the faider's fans.
I rate it 10/10. Couldn't give a f**k what anyone else on here thinks about it :lol:
:lol: the lunatics keep coming. BTW I'm glad Super League was the essential ingredient in Parra making the finals in 2009.............^blah blah f*ckin blah old man. Without Super League Parramatta would never of made a finals series since 86. It served you well...no scratch that, it SAVED you. Stop bitchin you ungrateful prick.
Especially if you make sure who is in front of you is sh*t. How hard did Hunter challenge your defence ffs?pissant cronulla?
i think we were the best defensive side across both comps that year.
superleague had the best team. collective strenght probably arl edges it out.
they won. end of story. legit comp. you can only beat who's infront of you.
Then how come your sh*t comp got butchered in the ratings ? No-one and i mean No-one watched it. Little ugly frogface came crawling back to Arko looking for a peace deal. We should have wrung your necks then and there.
