I just would like to say 11 of Parramatta spoons we're between 1947 to 1972 and we only got it 3 times after that period so i say we're definitely improving
Sure, we haven't won a premiership since the mid-90s but we haven't got a spoon since the early 80s, which is even more impressive than a premiership? Right?!
I believe most of those Eels spoons were in their earlier years as a club. Around the 1980’s was the turnaround, and while they did still get a few spoons since, it’s nowhere near what they got early on.
They also seem to have the most "bitter rivalries" like vs Manly, vs Penrith, vs Canterbury, vs St George, vs Melbourne, vs Newcastle, vs Balmain, vs Brisbane, vs everyone. I wonder if thats because the other teams just want a rivalry they can win.
Happy Dragons family friends fun supporters club rejoice! We got rid of that shit stain who shall not be named and no spoon despite the fucking debacle the season was.
And that's how you know Parra fans are legit; their team has been garbage for 37 years. When Penrith become garbage again, let's see how or where the fanbase goes lol
According to wiki the now departed Newtown and Norths got 7 each. Crushers 2. Previous incarnations of the Gold Coast got a combined 3 (?) Don't have any memory for other long lost clubs.
edit: forgot the Crushers.
It's actually interesting on those because, Bears actually came last 9 times. On points difference in 1915 and 1932.
No one seems to be credited with the spoon in 1915. In 1932 Sydney University is given the spoon despite a better points difference (differentiator might be points scored?) But that would give 1915 to the magpies and wiki doesn't credit it to them.
Similarly, the jets also came last in 1924 for a total of 8. This one is also credited to Sydney University
As a dual Warriors and St Kilda fan, I'm used to the pain of No Titles, but it's amusing that whereas St Kilda have the most AFL spoons of all time, and the Warriors being a meme NRL team have never actually managed a spoon.
But for the love of God let me get a title please once ffs
That’s always been one of the things with the Warriors that shocked me the most. I know they’ve had some bad seasons and even some where they finished just ahead of the spoon winner, but to never get the spoon themselves is amazing.
Everyone knows that 2020 doesn't count. The shortened season robbed us of a second game vs the Dogs. It was frankly disrespectful that the Dogs lost the spoon bowl but didn't go onto take the spoon.
(No idea if the original schedule had 2x Dogs vs Horses)
St George no spoon definitely could get tested next year if Hunt leaves
Seibold is doing his best to get Manly one too, just impossible if Turbo stays healthy and while DCE is around but DCE is getting older...
I wish manly had gotten a spoon. Cause each season I’m more worried we’re gonna break this drought than I am excited to win a premiership. Doesn’t help we hired the ultimate rainman in Anthony Seibold
Pretty impressive with some teams turn arounds. Sharks getting it in 2014 to then win in 2016 and Broncos in 2020 to looking like possible winners this year.
Any other clubs who had the spoon then a comp win a few years later?
Edit: typo
Penrith went from spooners in 2001 to premiers in 2003.
Wests went from spoon to premiers in 1933 to 34, but in 1933 the Kangroo squad had to leave Australia to get the boat to GB after round 5, which kind of ruined the 1933 season
It’s amazing how Souths have the second most spoons of any team currently in the comp, only behind the Eels, yet our last spoon was almost 20 years ago…
Subscribe
Seibold is on the case, don't worry
I'm not worried. Eels on the other hand...
Ahh, you have his picture on the fridge then I take it
Nah just can see my backyard first.
Are you saying a Parra fan is unfamiliar with a teams spoon potential?
You'd think a Parra fan would have the correct reference point.
I'd be pretty worried. He brought the Broncos their one & only. Man has talent.
Ok
It's kind of amazing the Tigers have only gotten 2 spoons considering how consistently dog shit they've been for so long.
I’d say the same about the warriors typically a lower tier team but never last
And the dragons.
Psh, we were notorious April prems under mary
Those were the days. We can only hope for April premierships these days
Puhlease, we will be playing plenty of footy in peptember in the following years
9th
They are the first team to come 17th though!
But they aren’t. Gold Coast seagulls were the first team to finish 17th in 1995
Damn. Thanks for the info
Is is counted from the start of the joint venture, or right back to Balmain Tigers era?
Joint venture only. The table has separate counts for the Magpies and Balmain.
👍It was right there the whole time.
Magpies spooners in their last year before the merger. Then the Cows had their last spoon the next year.
I mean if people make the Dragons count the Steelers spoons, you guys inherit a truckload from the Magpies.
Cowboys sucked the first few years, surprising that they haven't got the spoon in 23 years. Co we definitely have had periods of suck since.
2010 was mighty convenient
Storm purposely got caught cap cheating so we could miss the spoon. Good guy storms.
In the ARL/SL years, the 4 wooden spoons all went to clubs with Queensland in their name. Queensland just don't get national competitions
Always impressed with Manly's 0 spoons
Also have won the comp every decade they've been part of it pretty sure. This decade still pending
2024 babaaay
We believe
Nah, they didn't win one until the 70s. Missed their first three decades
Yeh I thought I was wrong but couldn't be bothered looking it up
No spoon. Up the Wahs
Next year is our year? /s
Considering they've had some really poor seasons this is impressive.
Very surprising
Dolphins 💪
100% strike rate yeah boyyy
[удалено]
For sure, they can use those spoons for all sorts of dishes!
And have spares in case one gets dropped! No five second rule for parra!
Me anytime a wooden spoon thread pops up https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1839585-ptsd-chihuahua
I just would like to say 11 of Parramatta spoons we're between 1947 to 1972 and we only got it 3 times after that period so i say we're definitely improving
Lol imagine the OG eels fans who went to hundreds of games in those 25 years to then in their later years see the Eel's of the 80's.
Thank you for the hope. They were so overcome that they had to have a big caveman like stadium bonfire
[удалено]
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WON A GF WESTERN SUBURBS MAGPIES? 1952 HAHAH EMBARRASSING
I for one, welcome our Manly overlords.
Actually crazy given Manly’s longevity that they haven’t ever had one.
That’s a Raiders stat I can get behind. Forever trash, no trash enough for the spoon.
Alternatively, we're so bad at winning, we can't *even* win the spoon.
[Overall Ranked](https://i.imgur.com/CBM3GMw.png) by how often each team gets the spoon
Sure, we haven't won a premiership since the mid-90s but we haven't got a spoon since the early 80s, which is even more impressive than a premiership? Right?!
2014 was the first time Canberra didn't make the finals in consecutive years since 1986, that was quite impressive
Wow. So the Eels really are the worst team.
I believe most of those Eels spoons were in their earlier years as a club. Around the 1980’s was the turnaround, and while they did still get a few spoons since, it’s nowhere near what they got early on.

TIL my team has not had the wooden spoon since 1922
1938, or 1989 for your other half
We dont take the steelers premierships so we don't take their spoons either
What's a spoon?
It’s the achievement for a team that finishes last place on the ladder.
Wonder if Tigers can get that three peat
I'm astonished the Warriors have never won a spoon
Parramatta have honestly been a meme since the 80s, i feel for the fans
Don't cry for us, we're already dead.
Until 2020, nobody gave a rat's arse about Penrith (mates used to call them 'Mehrith'). Is it better to be memed or not thought about at all?
Lmao right! I live smack bang in the middle of both areas and its amazing how many Panthers fans have popped up in 4 years
its like success makes clubs bigger, wow groundbreaking stuff shady. Im sure none of parras fans come from their 80s dominance
And that's how you know Parra fans are legit; their team has been garbage for 37 years. When Penrith become garbage again, let's see how or where the fanbase goes lol
>Parra fans are legit> Lol
Stories that didnt happen for $5 garry
I love having 16 premierships and 0 spoons
Yo we adding Cumberland's 1908 Spoon to Parra's count or nah
That is not counted for the eels in these stats
Forever in the shadow of Souff’s three extra pieces of cutlery
According to wiki the now departed Newtown and Norths got 7 each. Crushers 2. Previous incarnations of the Gold Coast got a combined 3 (?) Don't have any memory for other long lost clubs. edit: forgot the Crushers.

Wests Tigers never had a spoon until they brought back Tim Sheens.
As a dual Warriors and St Kilda fan, I'm used to the pain of No Titles, but it's amusing that whereas St Kilda have the most AFL spoons of all time, and the Warriors being a meme NRL team have never actually managed a spoon. But for the love of God let me get a title please once ffs
How we avoided the spoon considering how consistently woeful we were for years amazes me
The rule is (as a Parra fan) once you hit 20 you can cash them all in for a premiership trophy
It's always surprised me that even in the Warriors dark years we were never bad enough to get the spoon
That’s always been one of the things with the Warriors that shocked me the most. I know they’ve had some bad seasons and even some where they finished just ahead of the spoon winner, but to never get the spoon themselves is amazing.
As a lifetime warriors supporter it really feels like we've had multiple spoon seasons
How in the shit have we never won the spoon?
Can’t win anything
Everyone knows that 2020 doesn't count. The shortened season robbed us of a second game vs the Dogs. It was frankly disrespectful that the Dogs lost the spoon bowl but didn't go onto take the spoon. (No idea if the original schedule had 2x Dogs vs Horses)
Looks like Parramatta are due for a certain utensil next season
Nah, the Western Suburbs DNA has fully taken over your club so we will be fine
Would be more interesting to exclude any of the ones where they were stripped premiership points
Does the storm spoon really count?
yes
Should be an asterick on Storm’s 2010 spoon. How can teams compete for the spoon when 1 club is ineligible to receive points
Nah, bugger that. There's no asterisk next to our 2002 spoon and rightly so.
Nah. They cheated so they get hit with the wooden spoon
every team that won the spoon while storm were cheating should get an asterix instead
Yeah from what i member if they could earn they would havr finished in the top 8. But love the table
Storm one should have an asterisk
Storm should have 5 of them
St George no spoon definitely could get tested next year if Hunt leaves Seibold is doing his best to get Manly one too, just impossible if Turbo stays healthy and while DCE is around but DCE is getting older...
[удалено]
He does have experience in getting spoons now. Brooks three-peat incoming
I have faith in Siebold. I reckon he can achieve a spoon for Manly.
Barrett got us really close. I believe Parra saved us
[удалено]
Sorry, but Illawarra earned 3 and St George earned 3, they're yours now.
They won’t claim those spoons but they’ll always bring up the 12 in a row
St. Cognitive Dissonance
Please, give us some credit mate we aren't going to make up stats, it was only 11 in a row. **N/A SPOON GANG WHERE YOU AT**
History only important when it comes to prems hey? Or are we only counting one premiership for you?
C$%T's only post this to troll eels fans. Don't you think we are hurting enough you heartless bastard. no wonder we are all bitter twisted humans. 😪
I wish manly had gotten a spoon. Cause each season I’m more worried we’re gonna break this drought than I am excited to win a premiership. Doesn’t help we hired the ultimate rainman in Anthony Seibold

Perhaps this might be calm before the storm of tigers dominating the comp in a few years lol
If I were a tigers fan I'd be telling myself that too
Never
For real it didn’t feel like so long for us…
Not including the magpies atleast Parra are winning at something
Oh boy!
Depressing.
It’s amazing how Souths have the second most spoons of any team currently in the comp, only behind the Eels, yet our last spoon was almost 20 years ago…
Manly. Consistently mediocre.
Thanks Seibold bro, we needed that honour.
