A bit of a small turn out of Storm fans, but good to meet the players. 19 of the top 25 squad were there, those that couldn't make it were Matt Orford, Andrew McFadden, Nathan Friend, Glen Turner, Robert Tanielu, and Ryan Hoffman.

I'll put my photos on the web sometime soon.

There was a small turnout because fans were not really encouraged to come unless they are members. I had people that were going to go, and to the aquarium also, but when they couldn't go, then neither could I. I know the key is to treat your members well, but we are in a situation where we need fans in general... The aim is then to make fans into members in the future, not alienate them before they get to that stage

With all the money they spent on the evening, surely it wouldn't have broken the bank to allow non-members into the aquarium for $5 or $10?

It's a little late on the notice - but they weren't exactly checking memberships on the way in....

Umm, weren't exactly checking memberships? When I went in anyone wearing Storm gear were admitted no questions asked.

Andrew McFadden, Nathan Friend, and Glen Turner are in Queensland, playing for the Devils this weekend. I'm not sure about Robert Tanielu and Ryan Hoffman but I presume the same can be said for them.

I was told that Matt Orford is in Sydney seeing another specialist Friday or Saturday with regards to his inner ear infection.

What a fantasic day! I enjoyed it. I saw Rabble being a neusense lol.

Meet and Greet the Players where brillant and unfortuanly being where i live in Pakenham i don't get to see the player up close and personal. Spoke to King Kirk. Brillant man. Spoke to Peter Sharp, He is a very nice Gentleman and Dean Lance, always very nice, Kearns. Nice Guy) etc. and i will post a couple of photo's very shortly

The March was excellent but for that awful waiter dude yelling "Go Brisbane" and the idiot on KingsWay "Stick your Fingers up your bum!!!" but overall it was very good. Oh' Danny Willams waving at the Girls and Rodney howe say in a deep tone "Dannny!!!!."


The Aquariam was brillant but they left before for a ugent meeting (Ribot).

Got home at 10:45pm and watched the Rugby league on Fox Sports and the Ribot was Breaking so i watched the Channel ten news.

Overall Very good day and my dream came true.


Cya today if you are going to the AGM
DEAR STORMWARING(C), PLEASE LEAVE!!!

Great photos NZ and soooo quick. Very disappointed to open the paper today and not see one photo from the march. Guess Ribot upstaged the Family Day! Wish we could've been there too but 5pm is a bit early to get from work to home to the city and also 2 out of 3 kids aren't members :(
