Manly 2009, best side of all time

[^_^]

From what i understand the guy said the current team are the best to play for Manly, he didnt say the best team to ever play league....correct me if im wrong

 

[Tommax25]

Damn lucky to have won ONE in a row tbh

Explain?

 

[Tidus_Raider]

Dude Canberra won 1989 and 1990. That's 2 in a row. I thought any Raiders fan would've known that.

Thankyou for educating me on the Raiders title history. I had no idea.:roll:

The 89' and 90' teams were totally different, although they were great in their own right. I still think the 94' team had it over them though. ust for the record what i meant was I was surprised they didn't go on to win 2 or 3 premierships in a row after they won the GF in 94.

Here's the 1990 team for the record.

1. Belcher
2. Martin
3. Meninga
4. Daley
5. Ferguson
6. O'Sullivan
7. Stuart
8. Todd
9. Walters
10. Lazarus
11. Gaffey
12. Coyne
13. Lance

does everyone remember the Bulldogs being the best team of all time when they walloped the Dragons in the season opener 2005, after winning the premiership in 2004. Everyone gave them the trophy after that game.

Don't think they even made the 8 in the end.

 

[Mr Saab]

amazing what you can put together with no salary cap and a state to pick from, innit?

Yeah...sensational wasnt it.
Still...IMO....the 2006 squad gave me more enjoyment

 

[Mr Saab]

Wests in 1999 were the best imho.

Lincoln Raudonikis was robbed as far as Wests player of the yr was concerned

 

[Loudstrat]

Stevo was in a coma from 81-83 and again in 86.

Only the 94 Raiders came near the mighty Eels.

 

[Non Terminator]

ffs - there hasn't been a year gone by where a journalist hasnt gone on about how the premiers have revolutionised the game.

Being premiers has something to do with it.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

The Parramatta 81-86 sides best ever, only slightly ahead of the Raiders 94 side.

 

[Butters]

The Parramatta 81-86 sides best ever, only slightly ahead of the Raiders 94 side.

And those teams are miles behind Melbourne Storm 06-08.

Slater
Turner
King
Folau/that kiwi winger whos name i forget
Quinn/Geyer
Inglis/Hill
Cronk
White/Kaufusi
C. Smith
Lima/Cross
Hoffman
Crocker
Johnson

Blair
J. Smith
Newton
Manu

All those players have either represented either their state or country while playing for the Melbourne Storm. And as a team they won the most games any team has ever won over a 3 year stretch. No other team can ever hope to reach the lofty heights that the Melbourne Storm have

How's the premiers rings....I suppose 1 from 3 ain't bad.

 

[Non Terminator]

If you want to compare Melbourne 06-08 with someone - compare it to Roosters 02-04.

 

[Butters]

If you want to compare Melbourne 06-08 with someone - compare it to Roosters 02-04.

Fine. Melbourne 06-08 > Roosters 02-04

 

[MSIH]

Manly 08 > Melbourne 06-08. Too easy.

1/1 and a WCC > 1/3.

Saps.

 

[Butters]

Manly 08 > Melbourne 06-08. Too easy.

1/1 and a WCC > 1/3.

Saps.

2007 didn't happen aye? ;-)

Get off the sauce! Melbourne would get nowhere near Parra of the 80's, or the Dogs of the same era.

But as you picked 18 players in first grade - and don't even know the names of your players :lol:

In all honesty, the only Melbourne player who would make the Parra side may be Slater - and even then I'm doubtful.

There was a 2007?

Nah, that was a leap year.
