Most quickly forgotten Grand Final ever?

[ucantseeme]

It's been less than one week and the Bulldogs vs Roosters grand final is already all but disappeared from public consciousness. Forgotten.

The big news stories of this week were the election and tonie carroll making the Kangaroo squad.

I think the reason is because it was a game between the 2 most hated teams that fans of other teams just weren't overly concerned with the outcome. Simply put, they didn't care who won. If the cowboys or panthers been there and had won we'd still be hearing about it.

It was poor timing for the NRL that the GF coincided with a Federal election but this cannot be helped.

How come no one ever talks about the 1985 GF. Who played? Who won?

agreed does anyone care now

 

[t-ba]

1997 SL didn't exactly capture the Publics imagination!

 

[Greenblooded]

I bet the doggies and Rooster fans still care.

 

[Biglance]

maybe because of superleague interests

 

[dimitri]

I don't anymore, it was great to see the Bulldogs win the Grand Final ect, now its just seems like history.

Usually people are still talking about the Grand Final.

i can't remember #-o

 

[tiger78]

most forgettable for me would be 98 Dogs v Broncos.

 

[izzo]

2000 and 2001 grand finals - never watched them lol

 

[Dr Crane]

I won't forget it.

 

[lodown]

maybe not forgetable, but in the last 15 years or so, the ones you hear least about would be the '88, '94, '95 & '98 GF's

 

[swing_low]

yeah 98, 00, 01 and soon 2004 are not the type of grand finals that you would look back on in awe

 

[The Grouch]

I thought 96 was average, I thought 94 was great, and the whole final series of 95 was brilliant

 

[thuganomics]

96 was very average. i still think 2001 was a good grand final.
2004'S grand final was boring, but at least it wasn't a blow out scoreline.

I'll never forget the 1985 Grand Final. 7-6 to C*nterbury over my beloved Saints, with the field goal kicked by the man who single-handedly ran Saints into the ground during his coaching tenure.

The game pretty-much got the rule changed so that any kicks caught on the full in the in-goal went to a 20 metre tap instead of a line drop-out. The irony was that C*nterbury had suggested this at the start of the year...

They got there by the skin of their teesh. It compares to what would have happened if the Cowboys got there this year.

 

[[furrycat]]

Uh most people forget the GF after a week... Unless you were a supporter of the team in it. You expect everyone to remember the 1985 GF? Who really cares about the 1985 one now?

 

[SP]

the 2000 GF i wont remember in a hurry

bloody boring

Comon how good was the 1997 grand final with Knights and Manly. I cant forget it. Magic
