The donkeys drove a wedge through the game in the 90s that helped destroy teams and nearly finish off others, I will not forget their greed and it continues to this day. The Rorters are a club that remind me of Manly in the 80s, they have a lot of money and attract star players but it doesnt always translate to premiership success.
It is interesting to note that of the teams left, most of the current QLD origin team plays for these clubs and shows you how powerful they are. Look at the combinations you see at the Drizzle, Donkeys and Cowpokes. That is why NSW will continue to struggle at origin time.
