No. The Storm being the cheats that they have been found to be, have cheated every team over the last few years, not just Parramatta in the 2009 grandfinal.
Unfortunately nobody knows what would have occurred over those years had the Storm been honest and been forced to shed some of their players. The results of each round involving them may have been different, resulting in a totally new makeup of the grandfinal participants. Perhaps Parramatta may not have even made it if another team had made the finals.....
There are just too many 'what if's' involved and as easy as it is for me to say, I really don't think a tainted premiership, such as last year's is worth worrying about.
I hope not. We dont deserve the premiership, the better team won.
I honestly think the salary cap system is a jokeeee. although melb have cheated, i beleive the club, coaches, and players have been so proffessional about there business ever since entering the league. You can have the best team out there but that wont gaurantee u victory. Saying all this the law is you cannot go over the cap, and the penalaties r justified, but lets give some credit to the way they have played and been coached. Because i will take there style & attitude into the Parra club anyday!
would mean nothing mate, if we are gonna get a premiership we need to beat another team on grand final day , getting the premiership by default doesnt come close.
"Not Tad, but it got me thinking, I'm starting to think Poppa could actually be an ai bot planted here by Phillip Sims to actually stir the pot and create havoc, thus gaining more popularity for his site.
I'm around 98% sure Poppa is a robot 🤖…"
"Considering he couldn't knock Api off his perch or at minimum convince the Tigers they need him , I wonder if he's another Galvin type hype . Was only a big deal as it was close to June 30 AND the media were starved of content so made a huge deal…"

Love the story about your dads wolf carved walking stick. Thanks for sharing that Tad.

TAB and other betting agencies would have a field day if they did.. Plus Gallop already said no.. And who wants to win it by default?
Win the bloody GF fair and square.
