Storm need to bring the game to the people and increase the crowd size.

just got mine today, and then told Work don't bother rostering me, as I will decline. They offered, i declined, they didn't listen  :D

Regarding the Dome - Who remembers 2001 - the Ribot experiment - not much more then 10k turned up to  the Games -mind you the Team wasn't playing that well either, which didn't help the cause much - and we are just starting to get the crowds back at the Graveyard, and the Bubble should help with keeping and increasing the Crowd numbers

Of course they are showing it live - it's being PLAYED in Melbourne, this way people (read: newcomers to league who wouldn't normally attend home games but may head to a FINAL) can sit at home and watch instead of actually coming to the game!
Then if we play interstate, Nine will delay the telecast and when people (read: someone who might actually take the time to watch because they've been told so much about Storm or have read something about the team) get tired of waiting for it to be shown and go to bed or watch something else, Nine can say - "See, Storm don't rate in Melbourne"..........

They can work it however they want - pigs have flown today but Nine will still find a way to frig with Storm in the end I'm sure  ;-)

Having said all that..............I hope as many people who we've all ranted to about Storm and don't come to our games, take the time to watch it - I'll be waving to em all  :lol:
When I want your opinion - I'll give it to you!

I hope Turner is fit, Brett Anderson is injured and likely won't be available this week.

Im sure we will win,

But the Warriors are playing pretty well at the moment,

and could be alot tougher than your normal 8th placed side,

I think they are something like 8 wins from 10 games leading in,

And for some strange reason their record against us is pretty good, which gives them confidence,

But I cant see us losing a must win game, especially at home.
Go the Allblacks, Richmond , and the mighty Storm

I know it's only Friday but is anyone else getting excited?  ;D

Finals footy starts tonight! Woohoo!!!

Oh, and great interview with Greg on the NRL Footy Show last night. Pity I missed the start due to Nein's inability to start programs at their scheduled start time.
