Top 8 modern history

[Hawkins]

I was interested so I checked when was the last time our teams made the top 8

Sharks 2016
Melbourne 2016
Gold Coast 2016
Canberra 2016
Penrith 2016
Brisbane2016
Cowboys 2016
Bulldogs 2016

Roosters 2015
Souths 2015
Dragons 2015

Manly 2014

Newcastle 2013

Tigers 2011
New Zealand 2011

Eels 2009

More interesting is how long since teams made the final 4 (preliminary). When you make the prelim you start having real premiership hopes.

Sharks 2016
Storm 2016
Cowboys 2016
Raiders 2016
Broncos 2015
Roosters 2015
Rabbitohs 2014
Bulldogs 2014
Panthers 2014
Eagles 2013
Knights 2013
Warriors 2011
Titans 2010
Tigers 2010
Eels 2009.

Every team has had at least 1 good chance at a premiership in the last decade, and a dozen in the last 5 years

Interesting. How about the other way. Last time teams missed the 8. I know Melbournes was 2010. Is that the longest?

That's why I've been a fan of the salary cap

hahah lucky this thread wasnt made this time last year for our embarrassing preliminary final drought in the NRL era

How about you give every team points out of 16, or whatever number of teams competed each year, for where they finished the regular season since the NRL was conceived . . . something any smart sponsor would look at

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I think there was a thread showing normally only two teams drop out of the 8 from the previous season.

I think that is definitely not going to be the case this year.

Doesn't the period officially known as "modern history" commence at the fall of the Bastille Prison?

very interesting

Interesting

You think that's interesting. I heard the other day that in the last ten years, 14 of the 16 teams in the comp have appeared in the Grand Final. Now that's a tight competition.

That might be interesting but it isnt right. Newcastle, Canberra, Gold Coast and West Tigers have not been in GF in last 10 years.

Here's a Ladder combining all regular season games from the last 10 seasons i used 2007 as a starting point as that's when the titans were introduced and 10 seasons is a good round number. Panthers and tigers were equal so i uses finals wins to decide the tie-breaker

1.Manly- 319
2.Broncos- 308
3. Bulldogs- 292
4. Rabbitohs- 287
5. Cowboys- 284
6. Dragons- 281
7. Roosters- 280
8. Panthers- 260
9. Tigers-260
10. Sharks- 256
11. Raiders- 255
12. Titans- 253
13. Warriors- 241
14. Knights- 234
15. Storm- 223
16. Eels- 222

Surely the Storm are higher then that

They scored 0 points between 2007-2010. It's still an effort that they aren't dead last due to that

When was the time before that?

 

[Card Shark]

Eels 2009.

My heart bleeds for Whyno.

Now I see why he's happy with a 5 & 5 start to the year, best performance for a while!

 

[Card Shark]

Geez, poor Manly is in drought.....well drought for them!

 

[Rhyno]

edit: got it wrong

They only scored 0 in 2010. The points weren't taken off them from 07-09, only the premierships. But if that's how you want to count it then fair enough. Like you said 4 years lost and still not last, not to bad
