Gallop would have said, 'we were vindicated' if we were on the bottom of the table also.
I can't wait for David to disappear from the NRL altogether
lol at anyone think thinking this will happen anytime soon.

He has to answer the journo's questions, do you expect him to say "i won't comment on that issue because Storm fans will tell me to 'shut up'?"

Yes 8)

I know he has to answer them and he has to pay lip service. We all know the 07 & 09 Premierships are gone, as with the 06-08(Inclusive) Minor Premierships.
We are focusing on the 2011 bounty and have moved on. I hope Gallop has too.

Anyways, welcome to the Bai Stand nation, Storm Nutter 8-[

I always laughs when he fails to acknowledge his weak as p_ss outcome in the last TV rights he negotiated.

He actually chooses not to acknowledge the poor result of the NRL deal, but instead to state the AFL 'got lucky' with Kerry Packer making a 'deathbed' offer for AFL that pushed Channel 7/10 to the max price.

I dont care what you like to call it David. Any TV rights deal that sees the code have ABSOLUTELY NO FUGGING CONTROL over when and to who, their games are broadcast to is poor.

He backed this up with a 'use it or lose it' threat that Channel 9 pretty much laughed at, and actually started showing their games later into Saturday and Monday mornings. Great stuff David.

The eyes of Australian sport will be on Gallop next year. If he doesn't deliver something equivalent to AFL (with NRLs larger viewing audience) he will be seen as the useless prick he really is.
It's good to see other areas are starting to get a bit vocal in their criticism of the current arrangements.

Broncos in regards to Darren Lockyer's milestone game.
Cowboys for being shown on delay this Friday.

If Gallop does show his face then we should just ignore him as he tries to ignore us. A loud, proud, continuous chant of Melbourne! Storm!!! would be much better than silence or chanting that he is a wanker.

the entire nrl fan base is expecting the storm fans to give it to gallop, they just dont know if the storm fans have the balls to go through with it. but something like that gets people involved and will get them into other chants through the game, and 30k loud storm fans can only be good for the team

It is also good for the competition as a whole, that a team in our location is so passionate.

I have alwasy said we have the more passionate fan base.

He's been booed before when in Melbourne. I've been at the ground joining in the booing then later watched the replay and every time the commentators feign a lack of knowledge about why we were booing him.

Naturally they were generally Channel Nein commentators and we were in part booing Gallop for the crap TV deal he gave us.

I just want him drowned out by the Melbourne support so no-one, even on TV, will be able to hear him if he is making any sort of comments.

Silence would be seen by Sydney-siders as a mark of respect for his words. Booing would be seen as a lack of respect. Chanting Melbourne Storm!!!! loudly and proudly would be seen as a passion for our team and the performance they have given us.

So whats the latest word on his presence tonight anyway? Personally I don't think he'll show his face until he has to at the first home final when he's forced to present the sheild.

He's probably getting a "Pope-Mobile" type vehicle being made at NRL HQ, or will put on a bomb disposal suit, like in the Hurt Locker movie
