A place for funny rugby league trivia

[lurker]

I thought it would be quite fun having a thread for funny records and stats anyone hears. I find it all pretty funny so i thought others might.

I'll start it off with this one. Parra have been in the comp for 72 years this season. If they win the the spoon it will make it their 14th.

That means parra win a spoon every 5.15 seasons

They also only make the finals 33.3% of the time or once every 3 seasons
We meanwhile qualify 59% of the time. A history of supremacy vs a history of mediocrity.

Following claims by a whistleblower that the club was keeping a second set of books, the NRL conducted an investigation in late 2009 and early 2010. After initially denying the claims, Storm officials confessed on 22 April 2010 that the club had committed serious and systematic breaches of the salary cap for the last five years by running a well-organized dual contract and bookkeeping system which left the NRL ignorant of $3.78 million in payments made to players outside of the salary cap, including $303,000 in 2006, $459,000 in 2007, $957,000 in 2008, $1.021 million in 2009 and $1.04 million in 2010.
