How many grand finals did we win under Folkes and Moore?
The reality is that this club should have a lot more premierships. I don’t know why we should be looking at the last 30 years as anything but missed opportunities. No era really delivered on it’s potential and I’m definitely not seeing Folkes/Moore that much better than the Hasler era
we won a grand final, made another grand final and 3 more preliminary finals, in 12 years that is ok especially when we are caught salary cap cheating and the others arent or arent until a few years later

9 state of origin players and webcke who retired from representative, so we were playing a state of origin team almost and they also got a bullshit call on their first try, we were reduced to 16 men, dont act like this is an easy situation
Melbourne Storm and the incredible coach were cheating the salary cap and they couldnt beat them, my theory is brisbane were cheating the salary cap by even more but werent caught because brisbane is a big deal for the nrl, the whole city of brisbane loves them, they are too big to fail
when we cheated the cap to get a little closer to the brisbane/roosters cheating we destroyed the competition and got caught, that 2002 roster is not as impressive as brisbane at all, brisbane even brought Langer back that year but we were the runaway leaders
Folkes is much better than Hasler, Moore is even better than Hasler, all the decisions under moore was correct, most of the decisions under hasler were not only wrong but criminally wrong
