attention all dragonites... don't despair. try this on for size: - our record at suncorp is unreal. it's a home game for saints. - hows the broncos record at suncorp in the finals you ask???...they haven't won a single game in september at suncorp. ever! - wallace on report remember. he's gotta go surely? lol
Not really. The comp is tighter than ever. Saints needed to win three games to win the comp. They still need to win three games to win the comp. Nothing has changed people.
Shame your team failed to make it into the second week of the finals.....hold on...they failed to get to the first week
For those searching through the history books to try and prove that minor premiers losing a first semi is disastrous, don't bother. It's not. Melbourne lost their first semi last year. They made the GF. The Bronco's lost their first semi final in 2006. They won the GF. Saints are alive and well brothers and sisters!!!
No team has ever won the comp after being beaten by the 8th placed team in the finals. The only other team who've been beaten by 8th in the finals finished their season with a 0-40 hiding.
A ridiculous statistic that has as much relevance as your post history Newcastle finished 6th and Manly 5th. Parra are ten points better than both those sides. The fact they finished in 8th spot is irrelevant.
