[QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2393085, member: 1764"] There's an interesting stat since the NRL returned to 8 team finals in 1999 that on average 3 of the 8 finalists fail to back up the following season. However, since 2007, it's been 4+ teams have been different each season. It's an interesting stat. Is it the salary cap at work (probably)? Is it the impact of injuries? Is it just natural variation in team performances year to year? Who knows? Who cares? It's just a stat. 1999-2000 (2): Canterbury, St George-Illawarra OUT, Penrith, Canberra IN (side note: Cronulla, Parramatta, Melbourne were top 3 in 99, 6, 7, 8 in 2000) 2000-2001 (3): Melbourne, Penrith, Melbourne OUT, Warriors, St George-Illawarra, Canterbury IN 2001-2002 (1): Bulldogs OUT, Raiders IN (side note: if not for Bulldogs salary cap scandal we would've had the same top 8) 2002-2003 (3): Parramatta, Cronulla, St George-Illawarra OUT, Penrith, Bulldogs, Melbourne IN 2003-2004 (2): Newcastle, Warriors OUT, Cowboys, St George-Illawarra IN 2004-2005 (4): Roosters, Penrith, Raiders, Bulldogs OUT, Parramatta, Wests Tigers, Manly, Cronulla IN (side note: Grand Finalists of previous 2 seasons all missed out!) 2005-2006 (3): Tigers, Cowboys, Cronulla OUT, Bulldogs, Newcastle, Canberra IN 2006-2007 (4): St George-Illawarra, Newcastle, Canberra OUT, Cowboys, Warriors, Souths IN 2007-2008 (4): Souths, Parramatta, Cowboys, Bulldogs OUT, Cronulla, Roosters, Canberra, St George-Illawarra IN 2008-2009 (4): Canberra, Cronulla, Roosters, Warriors OUT, Titans, Bulldogs, Newcastle, Parramatta IN 2009-2010 (5): Broncos, Parramatta, Melbourne, Newcastle, Bulldogs OUT, Penrith, Tigers, Warriors, Roosters, Raiders IN (side note: Storm only missed out due to salary cap penalty) 2010-2011 (4): Titans, Roosters, Raiders, Panthers OUT, Broncos, Cowboys, Newcastle, Melbourne IN (still slim possibility Rabbitohs will get in ahead of either Newcastle, Tigers or Dragons) Yes. I have too much time on my hands. [/QUOTE]
