To Channel Nine's credit at least they have acknowledged the oft-forgotten and degraded achievement of Manly's 1978 finals series in tonight's telecast.

Now if only they would stop acknowledging Bellamy's 4* grand final wins as a coach, that would be great.

*Includes grand finals won while systematically cheating

 

[court83]

My left nut says scam will get the churchill

If you remove the ones he's won while systematically cheating you're left with 0.

It's the main thing that makes me sick with all the storm love. The amount of media that fail to acknowledge the 4 years of rorting and still talk about that era as a successful one for the scum

At least when Melb "cheated" they actually won the GF a few times, shows how poor the coaching standards have been up until recently.

Yep billy still thinks its kung fu fighting. I only count 1 Melbourne premiership where they should have split the big 3 for the salary cap. Voluntary tackle penalty again and yes im nit picking as I refuse to respect this team.

Piss poor lacking courage act under the bomb, the outstretched leg jumping to protect himself should be penalized every time----still a great player though.

what about parra?
the only team to systematically cheat the salary cap & win a wooden spoon!
no-one else can lay claim to such an achievement!

Why do you put "cheated" in inverted commas as if you are saying it is an implication?

That is a cold hard fact.

And how many teams "genuinely" won a GF?

It is inverted for other reasons, to me they didn't cheat.

For this you get a troll rating, congratulations.

for me this game was decided inside the first 10 minutes- once it became obvious that the refs had no intention of penalising the storm for slowing down the ruck it was over.
also noticed that once a cowboys player made a half break and when he got up to play it he moved to be clear of a storm player in the ruck to keep everything rolling & the ref made him stop & go back to play it.
fast forward to when slater scored his first try & the player who played the ball walked at least a metre off the mark & refs did s.f.a.
thats when i lost any interest in the game(with the exception of hoping they didn't get to 40 - 0)
