The Who
Journey Man
Introduced to even out the competition it has achieved the exact opposite.
Of the 16 (discount 'Fins) clubs who have been in the comp for some time, only three have been truly successful: Melbourne, Easts and (recently) Penrith. Just look at how many years it's been since the following 13 clubs have won a premiership:
Parramatta -- 37 years
Canberra -- 29 years
New Zealand - Never (28 years)
Newcastle -- 22 years
Canterbury -- 19 years
Wests-Balmain -- 18 years
Brisbane -- 17 years
Gold Coast -- Never (16 years)
Illawarra-St George -- 13 years
Manly -- 12 years
Souths -- 9 years
North Queensland -- 8 years
Cronulla -- 7 years
I find it amazing that Brisbane, with all its advantages, has been so unsuccessful for so long.
