They are entitled.
buy into the whole ‘pride of the league’ thing; sometimes you have to remind them that I have been alive for 43 years and seen the Wabbits win one premiership!!
Well Souths think we are the arrogant ones.
This was snippets from an article on there website in 2018
Souths stood firm though, and against all the odds, defied the opposition and refused to give in. While financial hardships and the pressures from News Limited lurked over the then 91-year-old Club, other sides, including the Parramatta Eels, were spared.
The arrogant brand of Blue and Gold heading from Sydney's greater west was still riding the highs of their dominance in the 1980s, and were priming for another premiership, while Souths were struggling to keep afloat off the field, let alone on it.
And that arrogance and contempt could not have been more apparent when in round 26, 1999, the Eels hosted the Rabbitohs at Parramatta – and branded the match as 'the last ever Souths-Parramatta clash'.
The Eels, on the other hand, have still yet to reclaim their form from the 80s, leaving them currently with the biggest premiership drought of 32 years.
"I think the poetic justice for Souths was that Fitzgerald was run out of town. He was seen as part of the problem. They used to call him The Emperor at Parramatta, and there were a lot of Souths fans smiling when he lost his footing," Courtney said.
"In a lot of ways Parramatta seem to have failed to recapture their greatness from the 80's, and I don't think there are a lot of Souths fans crying over that."
Gone but not forgotten, Souths' last game in 1999 proved they had the right to compete in the NRL.
