Talking Footy

The same applies here as it does for Sydney. The Victory are only pulling more because of the lack of competition. Put them (and the Heart) up against the Storm and get back to us. And one of them will have to play at Olympic Park when there's a clash because the AFL don't like anything on their precious Etihad in the Winter except for themselves!!

Not a bad point. When the NRL moves to a summer comp, the Storm will be competing with the Victory rather then the AFL for crowds. That will be a more apples V apples comparision.

derp!

Let me rephase that for our slower members. When the storm changed to a summer comp ( (Jk) (i was joking) throw in a few more emotes to get Parra to understand). Then comparing the Storm and Victory crowds will be apples V apples.

The only semi contact sport that has enough interchanges per match to play during the heat of Australia's summer and actually has nowhere else to play other than Australia should really consider it, god knows there might be something in it for them in regards to TV ratings too, they wouldn't have to go up against Australasia's most popular sport for a start.

Oops, was I supposed to put a on the end of that?

RL is far better suited to summer. They barely warm up running 2kms per game

Well I have to admit that shifting to the summer for the NRL would be good for the Storm. We'd get access to Etihad!

what about those nasty security staff?

Collins is gone now, so we shouldn't get the same treatment. And the AFL won't be in the way either.

Better get that summer comp happening then, however youve got no chance against A league

Typical sidestep, the only place the Vfl wins is the kms ran back n forth to the bench.
