Not sure how you can rort the cap and still come last though - but that's Parramatta.- Storm rorted the cap and won premierships. 12 wooden spoons for Parra as well and the most of any current team.

Lucky you had Rooster Bernie Gurr come in and fix your club just like so many other Roosters previously going back to Terry Fearnley ( 2 GF's) then of course Big Jack Gibson and your 3 peat.
Of course Roosters players such as John Quayle/Jimmy Porter/ Johnny Peard/Graham Olling / Kevin "Stumpy" Stevens and even Bob O'Reilly were all instrumental in your success in reaching finals/grand finals.
Yes the Chooks resurrected O'Reilly's career - signed him from Penrith when a 25 stone prop playing reggies at the end of 1977.
Chooks don't mind helping clubs become successful clubs though.
