Well its bad luck you support them.
Vlad managed to make sure they were successful(along with the Swans..that means a compromised comp).It was esy to do with only 2 non heartland teams .
Now he has another 2 to try to make sure are successful..Someone has to miss out & it looks like the Kitty Kats.
He is still letting the Swans cheat ..even after 30 yrs in SYD...What a joke ..a team gets a higher salary cap than others (but lets call it something else that makes it sound Legit... A COLA..
.
& the 2 new teams need all the best young fumbling stick insects ,so they get them..
Poor Kitty kats miss out.
How anyone can watch a Rigged comp is beyond me..No level playing field,,
But then again ,Fumble fans are not known for being too bright.
So you must struggle watching the NRL then...
The Storm have new owners following the sale by media outlet News Corp. The financial depth of the new owners is unknown, and only time will tell if they can make the highly successful football club a financial success. The Storm has been overspending to the tune of between $2 million and $5 million for 15 years. This shortfall has been financed by News Ltd and the amount spent by the club does not seem to be falling since the salary cap scandal in 2010.
The Storm football club spends about $20 million a year, or about $2-$4 million more than most other clubs except for the wealthy Broncos. The new consortium of owners, led by New Zealander Bart Campbell, are projecting the club will break even in five years, which is a long time to be losing money. The Storm has risen to the top of the competition by overspending; if the club has to curtail its expenses it is very difficult to see the performance on the field continuing, placing greater financial stress on the group.

The storm, bankrolled by the owners of the NRL, rose to huge and long term success on the back of overspending despite a tiny local following. Seems real fair doesn't it..... :_<>
You cant be serious..
Show me where the Storm or any other team in the NRL get higher cap than others.
All teams work under the same $$$$ for the players...Football operations don't come under the cap.
& when teams cheat the cap they are punished(Storm & Bulldogs).
Its different in Derpball.
there is LEGALISED cheating of the cap.
No penalty for Sydney..
Spending beyond the salary cap assists success, and the storm were assisted by the league owners well beyond the capacity their following allowed. In fact it was the second highest in the league. The swans are well down the list on spending.
The cola assists a team in an expansion state to remain competitive from a cost of living and relocation point of view. Its not perfect but nor is the owner of the NRL paying for the storm to make GF after GF when theyd have fallen over without that funding.
:_<> :_<> :_<> :_<>
assisted by the League owners
nope
not a cent from the NRL ... a completely different organisation to News Ltd you blithering fuckstick
If News owned the NRL... the Storm would never have been punished for their cap breaches & fined over a million dollars .. they'd of got away with it
NRL fans would never allow their comp to be a laughing stock by allowing .. some sides .. advantages over others
& so
there is not a team in the NRL that gets a single shred of extra assistance from the governing body
its a level playing field
the VFL on the other hand
is a compromised .. tainted ..... joke
hence the bucket of puke of a comp it presently has
needed to be said

RL SOO I 4.068 Million
NRL GF 3.968 Million
VFL Grand Final 3.620 Million
