All this talk of an even comp is dribble. In 2006 if i recall right the Storm were minor premiers. They should have won the GF as they were the best team all year but the Broncos stole it with a few weeks of quality football and their GF pedigree.
In 2007 the Storm coasted their way to another minor premiership and won what was the easiest premiership ive seen since Brisbane in 2000. They hardly raised a sweat in losing something like 3 games all year.
And now this year after losing 2 of their first 3 theyve coasted to 5 straight wins and IMO wont lose more than 2 games for the rest of the year.
Even comp my arse...it hasnt been this one-sided over a 2-3 year period in bloody years. (Atleast the Roosters had some quality opposition in 02-04 as evidenced by the Gfs and only 1 minor premiership)
So as much as the Roosters revival has got me excited this year i still cant help but feel that the Storm have already got it in the bag. Just as much so as Geelong in the AFL.
Can anyone seriously see a team taking the title off Melbourne when it matters?
