Over the years rugby league has seen some amazing teams dominate the competition for periods of time.
Although some of these teams did not win the premiership every single year of their dominant form, it is hard to dispute the impact they had in the game.
The following teams, in no particular order, are some of the greatest to ever play the game. Don't forget to comment your opinion below!
The Lightning Strikes (Melbourne Storm 2006-)
It could be a coincidence but it’s funny how both the Storm’s dynasty and the Maroon’s dynasty both began in 2006 and is still continuing now, and it’s also funny how Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk have been crucial for both teams during this time.
Of course, the Storm’s success in recent years has been due largely to Smith, Slater and Cronk’s talent and leadership throughout the years.The Storm’s dynasty kicks off in 2006 with them finishing 1st on the ladder, however coming up short 15-8 to the Broncos in the grand final.
Although that wasn’t the greatest start to the dynasty the Storm has since dominated the NRL playing in 7 grand finals in 11 years, winning 4*. The Storm notably dominating in 2007* beating the Sea Eagles 34-8 and beating the Cowboys 34-6 in 2017, which leads this writer to believe they’ll win the 2027 grand final 34-4 (you heard it here first).
*Storm stripped of 2007 and 2009 grand final wins due to salary cap scandal.
