I concurThat's disgusting.

In the end, we were the best team, not only because we won the Grand Final, but because we also played by the rules.
The official competition was the ARL and the Knights won it. Super League was not the official competition. It was a different game and competition.
Best post yet :lol:
lol, you are well entitled to believe that NT.
I love how they belittle the Knights triumph in 97 to try and ramp up the comp that no one cared about. Talk about small penis syndrome.
it's an argument that is propegated by the newcastle hate machine on this forum.Can someone tell me why the Knights' 97 shouldn't count as a proper premiership?
Same with the Broncos...
Both were the best in their competition, won the Grand Final...end of.
Jealousy and resentment, among other things are always brought into this topic.
And seriously, the f**king '*' thing needs to go, both count equally as a premiership.

imo they are both valid premierships. our grand final was better, though.
Tells us more about how the Knights saved Rugby LeagueI love how they belittle the Knights triumph in 97 to try and ramp up the comp that no one cared about. Talk about small penis syndrome.
We care Green Machine - however I don't think the poll is about some game in 1998. It is about the 1997 Premiership.
The history books will always say that the Broncos and the Knights won premierships in 1997. We have absolutely no idea who would have won a "super bowl" type of match - Broncos probably would have won that match-up on paper, but Manly should have won the ARL Grand Final on paper too...history says they did not.
Why is it that Raiders have to bring everyone down to their own level? It's beyond pathetic.
exactly - kerry packers breakaway WSC counts for zip - look up dennis lillee's bowling figures and his 60 odd wickets during WSC are not counted - super league was the breakaway comp so those stats should mean zip
I wouldnt get too excited about a Bobby Fulton coached Manly having some claims to being a Parramatta of the early 80s or a Raiders of the late 80s to early 90s or a Broncos of the early 90s. Manly under Bobby Fulton were cheque book kings and their win in 1996 was similar to 1987, nothing followed. Manly couldnt beat the Dogs in 1995.
Which level? Are you talking about the bench mark; the 1989 classic?

Half a premiership since the comp was split in half...
Although with the amount of steroid users in the team that half is very shaky.
yes, there was one that involved the best teams and best players, Brisbane won it... i guess you must have missed it, too busy watching the reggies comp ;-)
