I have said it before, what a 40-0 GF win, particularly over the cheating Storm and 5 years after nearly being dead and buried has done is as a fan we have reached the pinnacle. It will never get better than that, 2011 was great, but nowhere near the 40-0 experience. same as '87 and '96.
2008 was like our Lotto win, never to be repeated.
So 2 ways to look at it, we will likely never experience anything like that again which is a bit of bummer, but hey, at least we got to experience it where other clubs fans are still waiting years for a GF, let alone win one like the 2008 circumstances, possibly except for Souths who winning the 2014 GF long after returning from oblivion.
