Definitely raised in Victoria.

Fumbled twice already.

Big day in the history of Rugby League in Victoria today.

Mahe Founa becomes the first born and bred Victorian to play for the Storm.

apparently the storm crowd is diabolically low.

9k, and no afl in Melbourne to compete with.

Their average is now 12.6k , and theyre in the finals!

@dan_robinson_23 @mj_lynch #NRL GEM Mel 10k Ade 5k Per 6k

The above ratings are for the live Friday night storm game!

10k watched on TV and 9k went to the game in Melbourne! And they're second on the ladder.

KE? Is this your idea of love?

[King-Eliagh]

Love is growing in that city, I've seen it with mine eyes and heard it with mine ears Xman. Plus 1 in 10 melbournites sit down to watch origin 3 times each and every year. That's 400,000! Never used to be so popular did RL in melbourne. A great and true title to this thread and hasnt it stirred up those afl nutters.

[TLPG]

You are a barefaced liar, KE. Stop showing all this misplaced love for thugby. It doesn't exist where it matters - only where it doesn't.

[King-Eliagh]

What are you on about TLPG?

I'm stating the facts matey. And those facts exist in melbourne town. Sure the crowds are still not the biggest at the games but they're there and it takes a long time for a large shift in culture to occur. GWS and the AFL understand this and that team'll have jack diddly support for a long time to come but eventually they too will build. It's just unfortunate the AFL have yet to develop something like SOO to promote their game in non Marngrook heartlands.

ah no, Melbourne love a sporting contest whcih provides an interesting rivalry at the highest level, which SOO provides. But as far as regular RL goes the NRL crowd's and ratings couldnt be much lower, especially for a team second on the ladder.

Melbourne says yes to SOO as a spectacle but no to RL as a sport.

[King-Eliagh]

Are you the lord major of melbourne Xman?

SOO is RL ya big breast implant.

You are stating fiction. You are a liar and the proof lies in the Storm crowds at home and the TV ratings in Melbourne.

[King-Eliagh]

I'm sorry if i met people who were accepting of and followed the storm in melbourne TLPG. I know this might upset you but it happened matey. And those 400,000 odd who sit down with their family to watch the SOO? I'm just stating what the tv ratings showed so please dont shoot me, im just the messenger... ... ...of the FACTS biatch! Yeeeaaaaaahh get some!
