Melbourne Storm = Another Failed NRL Expansion Franchise

[ParraEelsNRL]

Muhahahahahahahah.

[NSWAFL]

LOL, the not real Nth Kangawhos have relocated and failed more times in different areas than the removed expansion sides in the ARL have lost, fact.

RL

Perth Reds
Adelaide Rams (don't count as they were a SL team made up to get a comp off the ground)
SE QLD Crushers.


Not Real Nth Kangawhos

Melbourne Multiple times lol.
West Sydney
Canberra
Gold Coast

And soon the be Tasmania and Ballarat.

The only time they were seriously looking at establishing themselves was in Sydney. They have been Melbourne based since James Brayshaw took over and he has made it clear that they are staying in Melbourne.

[ParraEelsNRL]

That's why they are playing 4 games in the Two headed state and are looking at Ballarat?

Hmmm, staying put.

[NSWAFL]

Yes, staying put. If they weren't they wouldn't be playing any games in Melbourne.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Delusion.

[NSWAFL]

That's you, Debbie. Deluded to the max.

[ParraEelsNRL]

Well shiit, I already said you are, no need to repeat it.

If staying put means playing games in another state, then that's staying put I guess.

Actually the ROOS have never committed to anywhere other than Melbourne.
IMO they'd been more open to re-locating something might have eventuated but they didn't.

Pretty pathetic attempt parafeel to suggest that the Roos are some sort expansion failure.
They haven't moved anywhere yet.
The Ballarat/Bendigo thing IMO is a winner, being just North of Melbourne.

Must confess I've long been a critic of the Roos, but I'm in agreement with you that the Ballarat/Bendigo proposal may just be what is required to secure their long term future. Good luck Roos.

If only the Melbourne Storm's future was as secure. Take away the News Ltd handouts and what's left? A move the the Central Coast perhaps.

It's the first time the Roos have said that they would like to move somewhere instead of just playing games somewhere.
It fits in with their name and location and is close enough for fans to travel easily either way.

That's the big question. They have stalled in spite of having top players and top results.
When that imputus disappears, there could be an unholy implode.

Nah I think the Bears will reform and play at Blue Tongue first. In the end I think it will be......

Wellington Storm!

[Beaussie]

In anycase, the Storm will be playing anywhere but Melbourne.

They could play the Perth Reds in the Clayton's Cup.

[NSWAFL]

No it has to be a three match series for a cup, involving the Adelaide Rams! :D
