"Can Penrith do a Parramatta , their 3 in a row premierships were 82 and 83 and of course 84"
I would happily take 84 off the Dogs if they like.

Lets be honest with only 4 premierships in 77 seasons we should try and claim anything we can get.

What was that 1984 GF like i assume it was similar to 1986 seeing as the scorelines were identical except the winner was reversed.

It wasn't the same.

In '84 each side scored a try and Cronin failed to convert (his own try).

In '86 it was the first ever GF with no tries scored by either side (and the scores were actually different).

84'
Ray Price was on the ground injured, and Mark Bugden scooted over where Price would have been, the dogs only try

Unlucky we didnt go 4 in a row tbh..

From memory we led 4 nil and it was Mark Bugden scooting out of dummy half late in the second half that sealed it for them... in that gripping last 2 minutes of the 1986 GF when the Dogs were camped down our end, he darted out of dummy half then too and I had visions of him burning us again but our defence stood firm that day....

Anyone who still listens to Talkin Sport needs to be introduced to podcasts. Graeme Hughes is a passive aggressive nothing burger.

The latest Bloke in a Bar interview with Phil Gould is fantastic. Gould no matter what you may think of him is a very smart man.

By the way John Laws sounds demented on radio now. Almost sounds like a 100 year old man trying to imitate him. It’s sad that he can’t let go.

2009. Sickens me to think how that magic run was only stopped by a side rorting the cap. The fact they had like 11 internationals in their side didn't ring alarm bells along with 3 of the GOAT. Maybe could even say 4. And even money spare to buy that Finch mid season.

It is actually disgusting how all that has been swept under the carpet. Cam Smith is glorified on ch 9 and I just don't feel after the rortojg he should of been put in the media. Like he wasn't aware?
Lame
I still haven't forgotten when Greenberg bought his wife Barb a f... ring for his 400th game.

Like talk about a joke and an insult to those players who missed out on premierships because they cheated for 4 years

The worse thing the NRL did was not actually confiscate the rings off the players. As it further reinforces there justification they won those comps they still have there premiership rings and trophy.

Like how the hell did the NRL not go down and take away the replica 2007 and 2009 trophies that they brought out a few months back.

They should have given us (and I think Manly for 2007?) replica trophies when the Storm's wins were disqualified.

Just like when the first horse past the post is disqualified on protest, the race victory is awarded to the second placed horse. That would have shut teh Storm up about those asterix years.

Thing is Manly basically got there perfect revenge in 2008

There fans hate the storm as much as us. But they have the satisfaction of flogging them 40-0 in 2008 when they were over the cap.

Helps ease the pain.

What do we have nothing.

Thing that pisses me off more is the fact after that 2009 GF we hopped on the Bus back home and Dad who was drunk mind you he was sitting somewhere else that day was pissed off after the game saying how the f**k are though pricks under the prick.

They had basically a dozen internationals/Origin players in there 17.

So its not like it wasn't obvious. It was lying there in plain sight for ages.

I found that Kemp and Gould one great to listen especially the bit when he coached Origin in the 90s.

I havent listened to Talkin Sport since a few idiots rang up and one bloke called Shane or Trent sounded like he was driving a truck and just whinged about the Roosters.
