I didn’t remember us doing that well in 99! I looked it up online and it says we finished the regular season in 5th and actually lost 2 games out from the gf in the semi rather than the prelim.... but still way better than I remembered. I do remember that finals win over the roosters now I think of it.99 one game away from grand final. Lost to Melbourne
97 made the semis too
We finished 4th in super league, but that was only a 10 team comp and apart from Brisbane and Cronulla, I think the quality of teams was pretty ordinary. Even Vanverra we’re starting their downhill slide that year. The bottom half of the ladder was filled with clubs that were either debutants or pretty weak. I don’t really consider that year much of a success, tbh.... but I’ll concede when it comes to 1999.
