Oh and davo_, you're right about that Raiders team! One of the best teams in the history of the game.
Actually, what do you all reckon are the best three club teams in the last 50 years?
In no particular order:
1) St George Dragons 1956-66 .. 11 premierships in a row .. does anything else need to be said? Oh, they also had three Immortals in Langlands, Raper and Gasnier, not to mention Norm Provan and Tommy Ryan.
2) Canberra Raiders 1989-94 .. a collection of some of the greatest players .. Meninga, Stuart, Clyde, Daley and Belcher. Also some of the best players in Lazarus, Mullins, Nagas, Furner, Croker, Walters, Nandruku and Wiki. An amazing team.
3) It's a toss up between Manly in the 70s, Parramatta in the 80s, or Brisbane in the 90s. All very, very good teams. I refuse to decide, lol.
