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.
"This is an excellent idea and I commend the club for this, but ....... I've been a continuous member for over 20 years residing in Qld. That's my choice but having the event on a school night. 🤦 "

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.
