If anybody was looking to find some of the dumbest rugby league supporters in the world, looking in this thread would be a good start.

Manly would be the best with 1 premiership and 2 grand finals, followed by StGeorge with 1 premiership and 2 minor premierships. A case could be made for the 2 minor premierships being worth more than the grand final appearances but that's a whole different issue.

4 consecutive GF's and 3 consecutive MP's???

Sorry, just checked the record books and can't find a team who achieved 3 consecutive minor premierships for any team in the last 5 years..

Best i found was the dragons with 2..

Two sets of books relating to the storm?

But i would be keen to see where they won these 3 minor premierships..

Hell, they're not even listed on the JJ gillitnan shield..

If I ever get charged with a crime I want 12 Melbourne Storm fans on the jury. Their interpretation of right and wrong would give me a huge chance at getting off.

The Storm even if you count their minor premierships also have a wooden spoon to their name. The best team in the last five years can't have won a wooden spoon lol.

Are we talking best team or best club?
Team = performance on field
club = performance off field

I'd go Storm on field
Titans off field (yes I know about the rumours but they have survived the difficulties of a new club, recruited well, got a great stadium built and generally have a crowd avg higher than majority of clubs).
I agree. Getting the Government to build you a stadium means you are the best off the field, even if you are on skid row and have started a spoon collection.

Cheating means you are the best on the field.

As in a collapsed sand mine.

4 consecutive grand finals - last team - Parramatta 81-84. We let Manly buy the minor premierships back then ;-). Also Souffs - 67-71 (5), and of course St Pre-Merge with 11

3 consecutive minor premiershps - last team - Manly 95-97, Manly 71-74, Souffs 68-70, Saints 11 from 12 between 56 and 67 - only Wests interupted them in 61.

Melbourne are not listed at all, save for a fluke comp win in 99 and this years Minor Premiership.
