Good on you Haynsey! Dead right! 

Actually his point about Brett Finch comments re salary cap brings awareness and knowing of their salary cap being beyond tight, and regards the small amount he was paid by storm is something I wasn't aware of... Brett was.
Tbh I find it irritating that 2009 premiership  is always included in Storms winning portfolio too.

Besides all the dodgy salary cap stuff, I recall listening to Cronk, On The Couch, where he said they concentrated heavily all week prior on just coming up with a plan to stop Hayne. Was a great show actually.

Anyway, not your fault at all Jarryd buddy! Gave us much joy watching him play and what a year it was :)

          • I don't think Cronk proved anything really. He went to Easts - not Gold Coast, Newcastle or Wests...

            • 100% correct , that chooks side was stacked with talent and Teddy was at his prime . 

      • But being able to play with each other in superstar team made them better players ans it was the money and boat's that allowed it to happen.  

    • if you had your way storm would be relocated to perth.???????

      Good work mickey, that should be another solid 'plank' for the suitability to your admission.I'm sure you will be eligble shortly. 

  • Eels the last legitimate team standing that year. 09 title they'll always have a claim to it 

    • We we're only the last legitimate team standing because we happened to fall on the 'opposite' side of the finals draw to Melbourne. Every team Melbourne beat in the finals series could lay a clim to the 2009 premiership. Same with Manly in 2007. 

      2008 went to show though just how much of an advantage rorting the cap was to Melbourne. Take one of those key players out and they fell in a heap. 

      • It's a bit weird but under that old system eels had to beat first place dragons week 1 and ran a gautlent just to get to the GF. I have no issue saying we can claim that title lol 

  • Good on Hayne for being the only Parramatta player I have seen from 2009 actually give it to Melbourne. I've seen interviews with Hindmarsh, Cayless, Mannah etc, they all seem ok with the whole Melbourne rorting the salary cap for nearly five years and cheating the whole competition. None of them had a bad word to say about Melbourne. 

    • i see your point 'steely'' the only problem is that i suspect everyone was guilty during this generalised period of taking backhanders. we know that hayne was for example.

      i am not making excuses, to this day the nrl should review those premierships that melbourne stole and the runners up announced as winners.....this would ultimately kill any arguments of teams and coaches records being falsey paraded.

      It is a shame that vlandys was not a parra supporter, he is one of the only ones that would do such a thing and think nothing off it.....the other muppets that have been there would never have had the balls.

      ps why cannot we as a supporters group encourage our board to recommend a formal review of the decisions to not raise the runners up to the status of winners. Other sports (olympic games) means a realoctaion other a disqualification!
