Fair way to decide the true 07 and 09 premierships

Here is how I think the league could turn this nightmare into a good thing, replay both grand finals, with the two teams that would have been there if it were not for a cheating side taking there place. I.e 07.. Parra V Manly, and then 09..Brisbane V Parra. (hope I got that right lol)

 

Could be held two weeks apart after this years grand final... we get 3premierships in one year!!

  • Yeah it's a noble idea mate, but when you really think about it.. it's just plain crazy. Who knows what to do in this situation, it's left me in total disarray. Thinking back to last year's run, it woulda been that much sweeter to have gone one better. But, i'd still rather remember 2009 for the unbelievable achievement our guys made, as opposed to the year parra won the premiership by default.
  • HELL YES
  • I LIKE IT BECAUSE BRISBANE WERE SO SHIT BY THE END OF THAT SEASON!
    AND WE WOULD OF BEATEN MANLY EELSILY
    • Fair enough. For me though, i couldn't really care less how many premierships our team wins. It's more about the moment then anything else. I've got absolute faith in our guys to win our next premiership fair and square, whether it's this year or in another 24 years. That moment will be so much sweeter than getting one by default.

      As for a play-off for the 2007 and 2009 titles, i think that's just ludicrous. Especially when you look at the team the Broncos are fielding these days, as opposed to last year. Not to mention, how is it fair to the departed players that busted their gut for us in those years ?
  • Well, while we are protesting, Melbourne beat Cronulla in the 2008 preliminary final, so we should've been in the grandfinal and would no doubt have beaten Manly due to the history between the teams...

    I want my 2008 grandfinal....
    • I thought of you Sharkies for that very reason.

      No matter the punishment given the NRL can never fix the damage that has been done by this. To the teams that were beaten by the Storm though the years... especially your Sharks, the damage is just far too much.

      What gets me is the trouble Parramatta got in last year fro flying Fui's son over. The NRL focus on minor breaches like that, while all the while this was going on. Further, for us to lose Kinga, not because he wanted lots of money, but because under the salary cap we could not afford the peanut pay he wanted is shattering.

      I am just so shattered.
    • SBBB, Do you seriously think Cronulla would have contested anything to the 2008 Grand Final? A big No.

      The other thing is that Cronulla have defied the odds not to be able to collect the Wooden Spoon for 2010

      And i have to agree with you Tinks, it is shattering news with ramifications that will be felt for years to come!
      But the hardest thing is that this story was the worst kept secret in league since they won the 1999 premiership.

      Everybody had an inkling as to what was going on, and to look at what happened with Parramatta over the last couple of seasons, as well as other clubs that have had to abide by the cap, and have Cameron Smith Blatantly lie to the media when questioned a few weeks ago, makes it hard to swallow. Craig Bellamy claims to be guttered by the findings, Seriously if that goose didnt have a clue that his blokes were on more money than advertised, he is deadset kidding himself.
  • I know there is buckleys and none of it happening, would be good though!
  • i have an idea suspend the storm for the remainder of the season and distribute their team to the nrl sides for free melbourne to pay their salery 1st choice to the grandfinalest team ( parra ) for 2010 only
  • but then those who played in the losing squads dnt get there chance to redeem themselves??? and we wouldnt beat manly at the moment so no lol i dnt wanna lose a gf to manly haha

    Just give me my damn gf with the ceremony and all. I want fireworks and confeti at parra stadium and i want caylo to be given the trophy infront of all our fans and screaming supportersand to party the night away.
