Seeds for the future

Source: Herald Sun Author: Russell Gould NO CLUB hates the NRL salary cap more than Melbourne Storm. Take a look at the cavalcade of loyal stars forced out because of the cap's restrictions and you will understand why. But there has been some good to come out of forcing Storm to find other ways to ...

Re: ALL Stars Game NOT Televised into Melbourne

As you said Surandy no coverage of all star game from Channel None. I am surprised they are not even showing it in its usual graveyard shift. On the electronic TV guide the show on at 9:30 on Saturday on Fox Sports 2 is listed as general sports. So fingers crossed this will change during the week to...

Re: 2010 memberships

Your average family may not necessarily be able to afford to upgrade to the Premiers or Champions club memberships. Lets look at this from another perspective. Based on the seating plan approximately 10 or 15,000 seats appear to be designated to the Premiers Club members. The Storm are aiming for a ...

Re: 2010 memberships

I agree I am a bit disappointed with the membership packages. In prior years, I had a reserved area membership and it was a case of first in best dressed on home game days, but most of the time I could sit near the half way line, admittedly on occasions with a pole in the way. Whilst I didn't expect...

Re: Headshots of team. (pics heavy)

Fizer excuse my naivety but where did you get the picture of Rory Kostjasyn from? Rory is not included in the profiles on the Storm website. Although having said that when I first looked at the profiles on the website James Woolford wasn't there but now is. Doesn't anyone know if (and if so where) t...

Re: Brian Waldron resigns Matt Hanson new CEO

What does being a born and bred Victorian have to do with choosing AFL over Melbourne Storm? I'm a born and bred Victorian and I haven't watched a full AFL game since about 1991 or thereabouts. What I was getting at is if I didn't have the philosophy that I can support more than one footy code I wo...

Re: Brian Waldron resigns Matt Hanson new CEO

I intend to get a Rebels membership as well as my Storm membership. Before you say anything I think a person can support more than one footy code and if I didn't have that philosophy I would be following AFL only because I am a born and bred Victorian . What does being a born and bred Victorian hav...

Re: Brian Waldron resigns Matt Hanson new CEO

Brian thanks for your five years at the Storm you have done a wonderful job. Brian always said that he wanted to set up the Storm so it wasn't reliant on one person and he has been able to do that successfully with the on field team, hopefully this is shown off field as well following his departure....

Re: League HQ Report: Mason decide Bellamy's Storm is the side for him

I would hope that we have not signed a 29 year old has been, way past his prime, when we have let go Scott Anderson, Will Chambers, Dallas Johnson and Steve Turner from our premiership side. Mason looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane's baby sister watching a horror movie, jumps at everything coming a...

Re: New Melbourne Super Franchise chases Brett Finch

When Finch originally signed with us I thought, because of our salary cap, he would only be here for 2009 before heading to UK Super League. To have him sign a contract for 2010 is a bonus. Not only is he an asset for 2010 but he will be able to pass on his experience to young halves like Kelly and ...

Yes, good luck to Tony.

I also noticed that the bottom of the article, in the link above, also notes that Willie Mason is set to join the Storm on a 2 year contract.

Re: Storm v Sea Eagles classic match from 99

Kearney was magnificent. I agree re: Ross as well. It is too easy to remember how his career was cut short by injury but he was a wonderful full back in his prime. I loved the comment (from Blocker I think) when Ross scored from Kearney's offload that "he lives in Kearney's pocket". Also t...

Re: 2010 NRL Draw

Surandy, in a selfish way I would prefer no Storm games were on Channel None because at least we know they are live on Fox. Although, based on None's form the Good Friday game will be live because it is in Melbourne (and when TV ratings are down they can say it doesn't rate) and it there is no AFL o...

Re: Team for next year

The Mail understands Melbourne Storm's Ryan Tandy, who helped Rovers survive their first season in Super League, could be another possible target. Tandy joined the Robins in May 2007 and played 12 games as the club fought for survival. Last Sunday, Tandy helped the Storm win their second Grand Fina...
