Next club to break Premiership drought

[woodyk2]

Souffs and Cronulla should show cause as to why they are not replaced....or just booted.

 

[Saint Doc]

I predict St.George Illawarra to break their one year premiership drought ;-)

As much as we lol at souths.
They will never get booted. Ever.

But as far as your point goes.
Youre obviously a manly troll with no knowledge of sports in general.
Cubs havent won since 1908. They wont get punted because of it.

Storm might break their premiership drought next year

 

[timka4]

Been almost 10 years for Newcastle, hopefully it doesn't break 15 years because that's when things become desperate.

Eels 2012, then Bears 2015............[/wild fantasy]

I would say it has been exactly 10 years

 

[Rusty]

Newcastle!

Was just thinking the same thing. Since the grand final wins don't count as premierships anymore, I guess we've gone 12 years without one.

Pretty sure Souffs have been booted before

Will never happen again. They have the most members of any club.
They dont financial troubles now.
Souths are here to stay. Regardless of how mediocre they perform season in season out.

I chose the warriors,for the obvious reason that they keep most of their team for 2012.

Honestly - who knows? NZ are the best placed club to do so given the experienced gained from yesterday and their boom crop of juniors. Their GF halves are so young too. Parra also have recent GF experience, and a coach with probably the best potential to get them to win one since Monie.

NQ and Gold Coast can get close soo too. Canberra need to show they can convert their occasional finals appearance into occasional prelim finals wins first. Like Cronulla, they need to pack a bigger punch with recruitment and retention. Souffs - who knows. No club has worked harder to get absolutely nowhere.

I feel a change in the mix of the clubs most likely though. I think Melbourne, Saints, Wests, Easts and Brisbane are a long way off their next premierships. I think this Manly squad might have one more left in them.

Brisbane, Manly, Melbourne, Saints and sometimes Wests, Easts and Parra have been the major players in the last 5 years. 5 years before that, take out Parra, Manly and Melbourne from that list and add Canterbury, NQ and NZ. The next 5 years? I reckon it's most likely to be Manly, NZ, Penrith, Gold Coast and maybe Parra, and Brisbane.

But really, who knows?

Last two years one of the GF teams have gone to shit. So Warriors or Manly?

 

[saint_marto88]

Manly. DCE will do a Mortimer

I disagree. Melbourne have the big 3, and will always remain a huge threat and can win it any year. Saints I will agree with you, if the Tigers stop shooting themselves in the foot they can win one soon, Roosters didn't even make the 8 this year so don't know why you brought them up and Brisbane have some great young talent that can win them a title. A "long way off" is a bit of a stretch for all of those clubs, who can win a title with their current squad.

Warriors under a new coach will be ?????? As will Brisbane without Lockyer and Dragons without Bennett. Going back to back was too much for the Dragons who at their best could probably topple Manly so they could be doubtful but they are a saver.

Knights, Eels, Sea Eagles, Tigers and Storm are my list of probables.

nil knowledge

lol..Manly aren't exactly rolling in cash woody. I'm certain lol@souffs are in a better position financially + fans wise + juniors wise. Manly are only better off than Cronulla due to a private owner.

On field results are largely irrelevant to whether a team should be booted.

 

[RedVDave]

Melbourne Storm to break their 13 year title drought.
