Re: Lapsed Storm Memberships

Does anyone remember that Simpsons episode with the auto-dialer?  Or how about John Howard's recorded message spam about two elections ago? These things are scalable and a thank you from Cam or someone else could be done for next to no cost.  Some might disapprove but surely it's the thought that co...

Re: by cam

The problem with Darwin is money... unfortunately, I can't see a professional sporting team having the financial backing to survive full time in the territory Darwin's population is comparable to Townsville (117k vs 157k), and the incomes in Darwin are higher than the incomes in Townsville.  Say th...

Re: by cam

Darwin is the obvious choice.  It has a population that follows local RL comp already, but has no NRL team.  There is ample untapped junior talent across the territory.  Oh, and the NRL season corresponds with the dry season up there, when the weather is absolutely perfect.  33 degree days, 20 degre...

Lapsed Storm Memberships

Hey folks, Last year when I renewed, the Storm gave me a different membership number.  One of a litany of errors with my renewal this year.  As such, their computers think I didn't renew my old membership. Today at work I noticed that I had received an E-mail saying the Storm will be calling me toni...

Re: NQ Cowboys v Storm- Gameday thread **spoilers**

Just got home from Dickson Tradies.  Last bus to North Lyneham was 11:15 so I had to miss the last 3 minutes of the game.  Bloody ACTION. Anyway, I liked most of what I saw, except for Quinn rushing in when he's supposed to be on the damned wing, oh, and one more thing...  Would Cam Smith please for...

Re: New website

It'd be nice to fix the draw.  Friday night games for the entire season makes me feel nauseous.

Re: Round One 2009 v Dragons Date release

Why is an E-mail dated February 24 talking about dates that are in the past?  Can't they bring themselves to say March? The Bushfire Relief Concert is going to be held at the MCG on Saturday, February 14 I’m sure you’ll all agree this is the best action we could have taken to ensure the February 14 ...

Re: Cam to 5/8? What do you think?

I trust Craig Bellamy will do what's right by the team.  If that means Cam to 5/8th, then so be it.

Re: Will Chambers

But hanging onto them is what worries me most, we have thrown so much money at the stars, there does'nt seem to be much left for the next tier of players. That's actually the current strategy.  Keep the core of superstars together at any cost, and churn and burn through fresh meat every year.  It's...

Re: Greg Bird released from Cronulla

I hate to be the one harping on and on about visas, but how precisely does he think he'll get a work visa in the UK with domestic abuse charges plastered all over his record?

Re: I agree with the decision on Arana but someone must help him

He's burned through four NRL clubs and is thus unemployable in the NRL.  With the difficulties that people such as him have in getting visas into England (SL), Europe (Rugby), and possibly even the USA (Gridiron), chances are he's going to have to keep his footy in the park with mates on weekends an...

The Belgian Beer Garden is at 557 St Kilda Road, Melbourne 3004 (cnr St Kilda Road & Moubray Street).  Tram routes 3, 5, 6, 16, 64 and 67 serve that stop.  Moubray Street is the next tram stop past Commercial Road.

Re: GF excuses

If we wanted an excuse of our own, it could be that Manly was stampeding after dosing themselves up on calves blood once too often.
