IF PARRA WIN

When the eels win 2020 premiership do you believe  it will be a worthy title? Few people believe this will be a fake competition as there was covid and reduced rounds . I think that whoever wins this year will be worthy winners . What do you guys think even commentators are saying we should have cancelled this year's competition.

  • Roosters fans will say no. They will say it's unfair and propose they need salary sombrero relief. We even have some of them on 1Eyed to tell us directly.
    Storm fans have no grounds at all to complain about altered grounds of a competition.
    Penrith fans will have to quickly shelve their "triumph against adversity" slogans after losing to the Eels in the GF. 

    The rest are also-rans already so they just want 2021 to arrive. But Raiders will say it was all the bus trips and organize a strike against the Hume. No-one listens to Canberra so nothing happens. Knights are good little workers so they just move on, powerless against fate. Souths appreciate fairy tale comebacks so they send congrats.  Manly will moan no matter what. Manly would moan even if they won. Broncos would have already entered existential crisis mode after missing the 8 so their focus would be on stopping a second Brisbane team. Sharks would be off their head on something and not care. Tigers would be complaining that 9th is a curse. Dogs, Titans, Dragons, Cowboys would be in so much in-fighting they would not notice 

    • That is very very funny lol 

  • Who ever wins, it will be more than deserving, as long as the referees do not unduly influence the result !

  • Knights still claim the '97 Premiership even though there was only half a comp playing. 

    • The Broncos claim the 97 SL title even though they ran the competition for their own benefit 

  • Covid will be in the History books, so will the winner of NRL, AFL etc etc

    Personally I believe this year is the hardest on all Teams and Clubs - no fans no patrons 

    soooo absolutely worth winning the comp.

    • Yes and for other clubs who missed out on own home ground games to date .

      • Mind you those clubs will never take into account home grounds like BankWest Stadium have arguably little if any advantage without home crowds .

    • Yes this year the competition has been played and will be won under far more different psychological conditions than usual , due to factors such as the  ones you mention. Ask ourselves the question now , should Parra not win the comp , will we degrade the winner and use this shortened comp. version as excuse .? Time will tell but given our dominance to date I doubt it !!!

  • Is everyone trying to win it? Of course they are so it's a worthy comp. it's no different to any other comp each year presents its challenges etc. A team might be upgrading its stadium and have no home ground or be missing its 3 best players with injury whatever. No excuses for any team before and none now. Having said that we are a long way from winning the thing.

"That doesn't sound like us, Gucci.
The thing with restarts is a team can't keep doing it repeatedly — successive restarts — can lead to a sin bin. 
I think 3 in a row is where a ref can start thinking sin-bins."
