In the 2012 NRL season, Canterbury finished first on the competition ladder to take out their first minor premiership since 1994. They made it to the Grand Final, losing to Melbourne 14–4.[6]
In May 2013, former Netball New Zealand chief executive Raelene Castle was appointed CEO, the first female in the NRL's history.
Yeah…. Get that up ya @KambahOne
Further cements the divide in talent and not just this year as well as salary cap not workingAn 80% win percentage over 5 years for Melbourne is absolutely insane. It's proof of Bellamy's genius and how the salary cap just does not work when three teams are over 65% during that period.
Goes to show that champion teams supported by top notch systems will always outcompete sides with just champion players. There are some smart minds in Melbourne, not just Bellamy.An 80% win percentage over 5 years for Melbourne is absolutely insane.

Yep, spot onIn my wildest dreams i never thought we would EVER become this bad.
Very sobering thought.In my wildest dreams i never thought we would EVER become this bad.

Settle down.Why RAY DIB, all the FUCKING TIME!!! Jesus I hated the bloke more than anyone I here but fact is, the Andersons put this club on a massive DILDO then got kicked out
Right and wrong. Right about divide in talent and salary cap. Melbourne basically get an extra 10% through an additional 3rd party allowance for I'm guessing, living in a shite city. It is shite though I suppose, only positive I ever found was the bar where the female danish backpackers hung out 25 years ago which you had to get to by walking through a smoke shop and then upstairs. A very cool thing expect the danish concept of forests aren't good but tbh, at that age, if a shrub stayed still long enough it was fair game.Further cements the divide in talent and not just this year as well as salary cap not working
On a positive note, The Roosters under the coaching of Jack Gibson made the semi finals in 1967, finishing 4th, after going winless in 1966.
salary caps work if a) it is standard for all clubs & b) you have a talent spreader in there like a points cap. Also a draft helps spread talent but Terry Hill destroyed that. It just proves the NRL's mismanagement of the game for many years giving in to self interested people. You would also have to add in rule changes into that too.An 80% win percentage over 5 years for Melbourne is absolutely insane.
