Hall of Famer
it's been an epic 30 years for queensland. 20 finals in 30 years, 8 in a row at one stage (98/99-05/06), and never had more than two consecutive seasons out of the final.
the only blemish is their 7-12 record in finals.
not including this season, if you gave out 6 points for winning, 5 for second through to 1 point for last spot the ladder since 1983/84 would be
Queensland 134 (139-140)
Western Australia 112 (114)
New South Wales 108 (112)
Victoria 101 (104)
Tasmania 80 (85-86)
South Australia 74 (75)
That's a lot of space between them and next, almost averaging a ladder position a year better than WA. in a six team comp that's massive.
On the other hand since 1983/84 WA has had many more regular international players.
