I didn't know this thread included NRL, but anyway.... :hihi
Souths haven't won in 43 years and yet still lead the premierships. I can't believe Parramatta's only got 4 still.

Re: Re: The other finals - 2014
Is the only way I can distinguish Souths and Richmond. Souths are the most successful team in NRL history. But it helps when you win 11 in a row or whatever it was in the 50s.
Still, the drought and the passionate supporter base who still turn up despite years of being down the bottom is what makes the similarity.

Yep all true similarities. Let's hope this is an omen we saw tonight. ;D

As a Melbourne Storm supporter I was almost tearing up at the end as well when Souths broke the hoodoo!
It gave me an unsight into how I will be when my Tigers squash this hoodoo.
How will I be?
I will be a ball of blubbering mess crying up an absolute ocean!
(Rosy, thinking ahead, you may need to recruit a "Tears of Joy" emoticon to fully encapsulate the moment :hihi)

Got me thinking about my grandfather. He died in 1972 mid season so Souths would have been reigning premiers. He was a Parramatta fan and died on the way out the door heading out to watch the Eels. At that time the Eeals had not won a premiership and had a record to envy StnKildas for wooden spoons. They finally broke through for 4 flags in the 80s. When he visited Melbourne he took me to Some of my earliest tigers matches at the G. When he died I was 11 and had seen two flags ... He had followed his club and seen none in the 26 years they were in the NSWRL. An early life lesson for me which I regularly recall as we head into our 35th season since our last flag.
(Rabbitohs pretty much won One flg in three for the first 60 years of the NSWRL)

And they have snuck up on everybody big time,
If you watch all the nrl footy shows, they are just making up the numbers,
They have beaten all the top 4 sides in the last few weeks and are now one game away from the GF

Not as strong and drilled as the last few years. We're missing Billy.
Could be an all Queensland GF in the NRL.
Yep, I was just thinking the synergy isn't there.
Love the commentary, guys jumper punching and they are saying... MMm well, they've got hold of each other's jumpers and holding on etc. very humerous and markedly different from the fervor that usually goes on in the afl if a similar incident occurred. ;D
