Very Sydney sided story... Storm get a few words for
an increase of 60% in crowds....

So over Sydney bias supposed journos.... grrrrrr

Here I was thinking journalism is about writting the truth
and representing a fair argument... not just pushing your own
agenda and bias attitude... oh well it is Sydney

I tried finding Greg Prichard's emaill addy to let him know that with a bit of simple research he'd have found we're up in members from last year but couldn't find one.

Refers to the data in the State of the gAme release by the NRL... wonder when they collated the data?  Maybe at that stage we were below still?
Storming our way to glory!

There is a Contact Us link at the very bottom of the article, if you want to send off a message to Greg.

Cos a professional journalist should get his facts right before it goes to print.

Membership numbers are as at 19 April, 2010. You would think with them releasing the data a month later than 19 April that the data would be more up to date.

What the hell does anything have to do with it being a Sydney paper? They're writing about OUR Melbourne team so of course we're gonna give a shit what they say. Surely that's blatantly obvious isn't it?

Everyone knows that paper is a good bird cage liner,
they are hypocritical and useless,i remember to like
articles where one man was slammed for being
accused of a disgusting crime and another for a crime
almost as disgusting but because the 2nd guy was a
news limited employee he got treated like a kid who'd
spilt his milk

And yes,i let my bird shit all over it when im done
reading about NSW Origin teams oh and Choco's
probably poorly written content

Hate to disappoint you but that career no longer exists.

They are all professional columnists now. Facts no longer matter. It's all about personal opinion, bias and sensationalism.

How do you think DUI Beccy gets a run?
