Re: THE BENCH

We are lead to believe the proceeds (after costs) associated with running this place go to the Storm & Victory in a joint venture of sorts. If this is the case you'd think they'd be advertising it more. Hopefully it will come to be a busy place for us on home AND away games and they'll start mak...

Re: Greg Inglis to Brisbane

I'm over it. I'm so over the whole mess. If he wants to go then let him go. I just don't understand how the media keeps saying we can't keep so many good players and remain under the cap and then Inglis can so easily trot off to Brisbane without questions being asked about their salary cap. I just w...

Re: Festival of Football

Members email just received says gates open to AAMI Park at 3pm for members.

No mention of the game at Olympic Park but I assume the gates will be open for that one?

Re: Active Support - help needed!

Also keep in mind to date we've only had 2 day games at the new stadium and one Monday night game where we got flogged (also in one of those day games). Day games have never had the same atmosphere as night games. Hopefully this Saturday nights game we'll be better positioned for a win and then I th...

Re: Lost players

Why is this investigation taking so long? Surely its not too difficult to put all the contracts together and work it all out? Heck, we're lead to believe they already know about these secondary contracts anyway. Why do I feel like its all a stalling tactic? The whole thing is taking far too long. I ...

Re: And you thought our memberships were expensive?

I think this is fantastic news for Storm... unless of course it gives them ideas to go the same way.
But assuming they don't then at least our packages appear better value for money.

Re: GI to the roosters?

Seriously doubt this rumour. Our players haven't been given permission to negotiate with other clubs so if other clubs are off negotiating without permission then they open themselves up to penalties from the NRL. http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,27193639-5018866,00.html Though I guess the a...

Re: Crowd and atmosphere for Sunday's game

I think the people on the P.A. system need to help work the crowd up... Get some chants going and let the crowd know what is happening.. Are you serious? I hated that at the Broncos game. The guy was driving me insane. We'll cheer when we want to cheer, and we won't cheer when we don't want to. I t...

Re: The Real Ladder

B-uzz... you are REALLY BAD at updating this ya know  :P

We would be equal top with 3 other teams but in 3rd place on points difference behind the
Dragons (1st) and Panthers (2nd) and ahead of the Titans (4th).

Re: Proof

Tell me if I am wrong but from my understanding the point of the article is the Knights payments were "bogus." From the article, "Now Newton, who was financial controller of the Knights for a year from March 2002, claims the supposed grand final payment was a "phantom" one, ...

Re: Exit stage left: News Ltd demands Storm player sale

Whilst in some ways I can understand where the NRL is coming from when not allowing pay cuts, their theory being other clubs missed out on some of these players because we paid overs for them but in reality I don't know how the NRL can insist on not allowing pay cuts. Surely that is a restraint of t...

Re: Jayco and Suzuki stick with storm

Rather than people just sending emails or letters (or whatever) to the sponsors that have deserted the Storm I think it would be a good thing for people to also send positive feedback to the sponsors like Jayco and Suzuki for sticking with us. If anyone has the time to find some contact information ...
