10 year cycle

[lukesdogs]

was listening to 2gb this morning and a fun fact we have made the Grand final in a 10 year cycle since 1974 making it also in 1984, 1994 and 2004 lets hope this continues in 2014

 

[The DoggFather]

We have also won every 2nd GF appearance since 1985. We lost last appearance, so if it follow suit like the last 30 years, we should win our next appearance.

I'm sure it was a one point buffer between Cowboys and Roosters in the GF qualifier also.

Im sure in 1995 we won from sixth position!!!

Here is a paragraph taken from an article written in 2012, quoting Chris Anderson.


Yet Anderson is quick to remind you that way back in 1995, the ARL actually used this same finals format - now being revived by the Independent Commission in 2012 - for two seasons. In the first year, an Anderson-coached Canterbury won the premiership from sixth while, in the second year, St George made the grand final from seventh - only to be beaten by minor premiers Manly.

Yes from 6th... Best Final Series EVER! Nothing wil ever beat it...

Beat St Merge who finished 7th
Beat Brisbane who finished 3rd
Beat Canberra who finished 2nd
Beat Manly who finished 1st

Manly and Canberra had lost only two games all year... EVERYONE thought it would be a Manly V Canberra GF, DOGS OF WAR HAD A DIFFERENT IDEA!!!

 

[2nd phase play]

So we dont even need to turn up then!

 

[Chris Harding]

Statistics only tell us what has happened, not what will happen.

The Titans loss is still fresh in the boys mind I'm sure. That will keep their feet on the ground.

I think the kennel mathematicians worked this one out at the end of 2012

 

[Boldslug]

There is also a tie in with Des Hasler - wins premiership in 2008, 3 years later, wins premiership in 2011, 3 years later is 2014...... The numbers are starting to come together.
