Did you see this - just before the nines final Shervo asks Hindmarsh about Parra not winning any trophies for the last 30 years - ha ha ha. Hindmarsh, sitting right next to Cronk, GOES THERE. He says, "Well there were a few issues in 2009". Cronk squirms. Everyone laughs nervously.
It DOES bother Hindmarsh.
It isn't that the storm cheated a little bit. The entire club cheated MASSIVELY.
The record books should be changed to reflect the FAIREST outcome for 2009 - not a perfect outcome, "what about who the storm beat in the semis, blah blah blah" - the fairest outcome -
Parramatta are deservedly the 2009 Premiers. Have a ceremony at Parra Stadium before a home game. Bring back all the guys from 2009.
- And Fui Fui should be given the 2009 Churchill Medal.

I was at the GF.
The Storm were cheats but the Eels should have played better, and Hayne went missing and should have been taken off.
Fui Fui was phenomenal.
Agree. We should have played much better.
Fui Fui ... what a player!
Yeah i was there too. The eels were under the pump for 3/4 of the game.
How good was Fui's run though!!!! He was running right at us in that corner.
video ref didn't step in.
never forget that. Tony Archer. what a knob.
what did Matty johns even do in the 97 GF??? stand next to an immortal. anyone could of done that.
The Storm "won" that premiership because they cheated - simple as that.
Their roster was ridiculous. I don't believe for 1 second that the coach and at least the senior players weren't well and truly aware of what was going on.
The club and players should have been stripped of everything including premiership rings. The record books should have the premiers listed as Parramatta with an asterisk next to it.
The questions are; would be have won the comp in 2010 if we had produced the same run of form, and would we have won in 2009 had the Storm been found out earlier and disqualified during the 2009 season - the answer to both is a resounding yes imo.
What shits me the most is that the likes of Bellamy and Smith have never shown an ounce of remorse - Smith actually likes to play the sympathy card . . . . . . . . . please . . . it's fecking pathetic.
and they'd still tell everyone that they won the premiership in 2009.
assholes.
Our team was rubbish in 2010, we let go too many key players and paid overs for a overrated Poore. 2009 we would have beat any other team in the final - this is where the Eels really began to decline.
