PAST TRENDS INDICATE EELS GF VICTORY SOON

Although I know that nothing much can cheer us up right now (it still hurts) we do have the future to look forward to. If anything can be learnt from the past a number of runners up go on to win the premiership within the next couple of years. Here's a list from the open era of our great game.1984 Parramatta R/U 1986 Premiers1986 Canterbury-Bankstown R/U 1988 Premiers1987 Canberra R/U 1989, 1990 Premiers1990 Penrith R/U 1991 Premiers1994 Canterbury- Bankstown R/U 1995 Premiers1995 Manly R/U 1996 Premiers2000 Sydney R/U 2002 Premiers2006 Melbourne R/U 2007 Premiers2007 Manly R/U 2008 Premiers2008 Mebourne R/U 2009 Premiers (hurts to write that one).... 2009 Parramatta R/U 2010, 2011, 2012 and what the hell 2013 Premiers

  • Absolutely Melanie! I honestly cannot see anything stopping us in 2010.
  • i hope you are right
  • Yeah I reckon glory beckons. We can be SO PROUD!!! The most excitng season and we did not even win the last game.
  • Hate to be a partypooper but your logic is so flawed... what about teams like Penrith and Tigers who won the premiership without losing one? Or teams like Cowboys and Warriors who came to the GF and the faded into obscurity.....
    • I said a number of teams... not all. Don't take it so seriously, it's just something to give us Eels fans hope for the future and to not dwell on this year's loss :)
  • we are gonna dominate the fuck out of everyone our side for 2010 is way to strong its gonna be a bloodbath
  • we will learn alot from this year and the grand final loss.. Hopefully we come out of the blocks next year hard, We need to get into the top 4 and stay there, that means consistancy... something eels have had problems doing.... Then we need to be ruthless with beating teams, we need to put the fear into teams coming up against us... Parra stadium needs to be a fortress for us.. Then a premiership will come
