With the Cronulla Sharks winning their first title in their history last month, a lot was said and written about the breaking of the league’s longest drought which spanned 50 years.
Two years earlier the South Sydney Rabbitohs won their first premiership in 43 years.
Last year the North Queensland Cowboys won their first premiership since being admitted to the competition in 1995, in the process breaking a drought of 21 years.
With all these droughts breaking, I took a look at the other clubs to see who now holds the record of the longest running drought.
Of the 16 current clubs it is the Parramatta Eels – who are currently enduring a 30 year premiership drought – that now hold the record recently vacated by Cronulla.
I have compiled a list of all the current clubs and their current drought tallies, and for league tragics like me it provides some interesting reading.
