NRL draw
I do not care of the reason for not having Storm vs Warriors on ANZAC Day (centenary). The fact that our tradition has to be compromised to accommodate an NRL desire, pisses me off.
NRL expects us to bend over backwards (or forwards if you think about it) but then they will hit us with 6 or 7 Monday night games.
I know some of you don't like the Warriors fans at this event but as a tradition and spectacle on TV, it is one of the most highly anticipated games every year. I know we play them on Easter Monday... The fact this is a traditional ANZAC DAY clash adds the emotion to this event.
Extremely disappointed. The N(SW)RL can get stuffed.

No it should not. Melbourne Storm made this a ANZAC Day event with no help with the NRL. The NRL call the Sydney/Dragons match as the tradition ANZAC Day game. This match is huge one for the Storm and a lot of AFL fans go the Collingwood/Essendon game first and the come to our match. The Storm game must have been getting bigger than the Sydney game and the NRL have to stop anything good to do with the game in Melbourne. Knowing the NRL they will most likely put the Storm/Warriors match on the at the same time as the AFL game at the MCG. Seeing it is 100 years of ANZAC, the Melbourne/New Zealand should be played on ANZAC Day.
