Top 8 modern history

[Bowzy]

haha, what a load of shit.

How so?

Who in comparison since the beginning of the modern day era is more successful? Brisbane and manly of course are up there in the conversation too.

Who do you think are mate?

Like I said the arguement against Easts would be that they have had years amongst them when they havnt been successful unlike some of the other clubs who have been consistent.

Melbourne aren't the most 'winningest' side (I should have highlighted the part I was referring to). They have one premiership and a grand final since 2002, whatever they did from 2006-2010 has now been wiped from the record books.

Manly (premierships in 2008/2011 and grand finals in 2007/2013, and from memory at least 1 other prelim final in that time?) have probably been the most successful side, while the Chooks probably come closest in that time (Premiers 2013, runners-up 2010, three minor premierships). Obviously Brisbane haven't lived up to its insanely high standards of the 90's during the past 15 years, but also have a premiership and a grand final during this period too.

I don't need stupid stats to work out successful clubs since 2000. Roosters, Broncs, Manly and Storm. Pretty simple. Use whatever stats you like but this is just common sense.

 

[grouch]

edit: got it wrong

This is the greatest Rhyno post ever

 

[justdave]

97 if you count Super League, which Brisbane conveniently do to boost their premiership tally.

Is there nothing that club won't stoop too?

Reckon the chooks have royally f**ked a couple of those GF losses.

This should be a moot conversation.

lol @ parra for not making finals since 2009

Bullshit

Guys

The stats are right there to see.

Raiders are the worst club of the NRL era.

Shame on you.

I started this thread to boost discussion and so we could all slam the Eels.

Good day sir.

2004 yeah, have only watched it once ever since. 2000 had very little chance and there was no shame in losing in 2003.

 

[Hutty1986]

Bullshit

Bullshit's in the eye of the beholder, ol' mate

 

[POPEYE]

Bullshit's in the eye of the beholder, ol' mate

Don't shoot me ol' mate I'm just the messenger, even with what has been officially taken from Melbourne they still have on record won more NRL games than Manly . . . hence the 'winningest,' regardless of how I feel about the finals lottery

But hey, I haven't added up the Roosters, Broncos or even the Dragon wins . . . it's a simple matter of typing in each year and add'em up

Hang on, I didn't take away draws . . . wonder if that matters

You think the Eels need more slammin' ol' mate

I guess it depends how you define success..

Who's more successful?
a) the team who won 1 comp but finished last every other year
b) the team who finished 2nd every year

By the olympic medal method, it's team A.
Overall win total it's obviously team B.

Everyone says Brian Smith's a failure because he never sealed the deal.
But his win rate (and GF appearances) are almost certainly among the better coaches of the last 30 years.

If you're a sponsor you want your name in lights all year every year, especially one who doesn't worry about RL in general. . . . a flash at the end now and again won't win corporate friends

What about fans? Players? Coaches?

Would you rather be..
Brian Smith (0 from 4 Grand Finals) or Mick Hagan (plodder, 1 premiership)
Mitchell Pearce (15 Origin caps) or Trent Hodkinson (1 Origin win)

 

[POPEYE]

There is hope for the others, I said Melbourne/Manly had 622/543 NRL 'wins' . . . I should have said 'points'. Surprised you missed that Hut

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Raiders are the worst club of the NRL era.

Probably but I think Wooden Spoons should be taken into account.
