Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2106854, member: 1764"] Permiers don't have to be the best all through the year. That's the beauty (or ugliness?) of a one off Grand Final. The Broncos have been brought back to the pack since 2000 by the salary cap kicking in. That's the primary reason. I don't disagree that Bennett's plans have become a bit stale, but we've bled players in that time period. And yet the Broncos are the only premiership winning team since then to have made the finals every year since. 2001: Knights. They faded out in 2005. 2002: Roosters. Ditto, faded out in 2005. 2003: Panthers. Bingo, faded out in 2005. 2004: Bulldogs. Faded out in 2005. 2005: Tigers. Flunked the next year. So despite injuries, the cap, and a supposed-over the hill coach with no idea, the Broncos have managed to outperform the above. The Storm will be the first team since the Panthers in 2003/04 to have a strong defence of their title. [/QUOTE]
