I work as a courier & cover quite a varied cross section of people around Melbourne & the burbs.Since I use a pen with purple ink & have either a Storm badge or cap on I usually get a response.
I think you do Melbournians a great disservice by claiming most of them
A: Don't care about Storm.
B: Can't tell the diff between League & Union.

I would argue that's changing quite a lot.  There are some that may not be able to tell instantly which is which, but know there are differences
Storming our way to glory!

I guess it all comes down to whom you socialise/work/go to school  with, so we all have different opinions on this one.

However, I must say, over the years, I have noticed more and more people know who the Storm are and many follow their fortunes.

David Gallop has told Brian to clear his desk and leave immedietly.  Brian had given a months notice which would have meant he would have been at the Membership Forum.  I know Matt Hanson will probably be good for our club too but it would have been nice to be able to thank Brian for his contribution to Melbourne Storm.  David Gallop needs to shut his trap and stay out of it.  I am sure Brian will have a lot of loose ends to tie up and make the transition for Matt much easier. ??? :'(

Might have something to do with Brian being associated with this new commission being set up and Gallop doesn't want Brian taking more info to *our opposition* than he already knows.
However, its going to leave Matt Hanson in a bit of a quandry.

Do you have a source to this story by Beccy...who simply loves reporting on rugby league when it has issues.

I agree with Gallop, Wally needs to go NOW. Cant have some-one still employed talking about another direct competitor, which is what has been happening.

I reckon Gallop should follow him out the door!
