Eels now have the longest-running premiership drought

[mozgrame]

With the Cronulla Sharks winning their first title in their history last month, a lot was said and written about the breaking of the league’s longest drought which spanned 50 years.

Two years earlier the South Sydney Rabbitohs won their first premiership in 43 years.

Last year the North Queensland Cowboys won their first premiership since being admitted to the competition in 1995, in the process breaking a drought of 21 years.

With all these droughts breaking, I took a look at the other clubs to see who now holds the record of the longest running drought.

Of the 16 current clubs it is the Parramatta Eels – who are currently enduring a 30 year premiership drought – that now hold the record recently vacated by Cronulla.

I have compiled a list of all the current clubs and their current drought tallies, and for league tragics like me it provides some interesting reading.

I hope they drown in their drought

But they do have the most spoons, so they have got that going for them.

Where's that $$$$wit Chief to comment on this.

 

[Woodsie]

Yeah ... but I am informed that they have a wonderful PR department and that their customer satisfaction is very high, except when every year the members want to storm headquarters and burn the directors

You can sense it can't you, I'd suggest in 2017 the NRL darlings will be a western Sydney side!!

They will win in the next 3 years to try and combat the Gaints out in the west taken all the glory ........... the NRL way, its your turn.

I would love for them to go after Norths record, didn't they go something like 75 years without winning the comp.

Unfortunately you are most probably right about this Mark

Look at the side they are assembling.

We won't get within a bull's roar of them with who we have penciled in at this stage.

We'll be lol'ing at ourselves at this rate.

Specially with AFL gifting the Giants the AFL title next year!!

You can pretty much write the next few years for the NRL in terms of winners and who the darlings will pick to win:

Parra , Canberra, NZ Warriors , Titians, Tigers,Bulldogs and tigers will all become the NRL darlings over the next few years,Greenturd will make not doubt about it.

North Sydney's record? Pfft....let them go after the Chicago Cubs 108 year record 😉
