Has it been done in the salary cap era?

Has it been done in the salary cap era?

Yeah by Manly in the mid 90s...

 

[roostersrule2]

Manly did it in the mid 90's.

Melbourne did it but they needed boats to do it.

No, St George were last team and that was in the early 60s

I dare say Manly in 1995-1996-1997 might disagree with you there.

 

[Gina Minehart]

97 doesn't count

Minor premiers of half a comp doesn't really count for much. I think there's little doubt Brisbane would have topped the ladder in a combined comp.

 

[TheDalek079]

Manly did it early 70s too, which is later than dragons of the 60s

Counts as much as the Bronocs 1997 GF win does. As to what would have happened had Brisbane been in the comp we will never know.

Peter O'Sullivan is really really good at his job...

 

[Bigcoq]

Its a fair achievement but isn't a Grandfinal..

It hasn't really this time either.

it does count because the premierships that year count

Nobody considers 97-98 as the last back to back premiership, so its fair to say Manly's 3 minors in a row falls into the same boat.

technically it is the last back to back premierships, otherwise broncos have 5 premierships, instead of 6

 

[POPEYE]

Isn't Ch9 saying this season is the closest for yonks, Roosters have been the best team 3 years running . . . becoming a little ho hum

 

[chigurh]
