This is a very Wests Tigers conundrum.
Like, weirdly, sure we have only made the finals 3 times, but each of those times we were in the Top 4 and were as good as any team in the comp. Our team in 2010 took both grand finalists to the absolute limit. We won in 2005 and in 2011 we choked after that streaker fiasco.
There is this kind of Matt Elliott, Adam O'Brien, Rick stone flavour of coach that often make the finals or whatever, but they get smashed after one match against a top 4 team and drop out straight away. We've never really had that as a club.
I think most fans here would actually prefer crashing out the finals more often than not over being red hot for 2 seasons every 20 years.
