Re: "The NRL is an absolute joke"
As TV ratings show, SOO is not NRL. Most at Etihad were from nsw and qld anyway. Will they travel down for storm games?Stewie wrote:NSW and QLD expats along with traveling NSW and QLD fans to a SoO is your back up?Striker wrote:I'm not going to repeat the REAL reason why our crowds are down, Stew!

If storm fans are waiting for games at Etihad before they start attending the club is doomed.

SOO is League, X!
And I demand verifiable evidence that more than 50 percent (the majority) came down from New South Wales and Queensland! I say the majority were local!

But SOO success in Melbourne hasnt helped the storm, and ratings prove this.

No it proves that those who were driven away aren't back yet. And why look at the crowd? What does that prove?

Yes, but it's not nRL.Striker wrote:SOO is League, X
If the majority were local then clearly they were NSW and QLD expats who I doubt go for the Storm in the nRL.Striker wrote:And I demand verifiable evidence that more than 50 percent (the majority) came down from New South Wales and Queensland! I say the majority were local!

Clearly? Who says? Where's the freaking proof!
It doesn't matter if SOO is NRL or not. NRL and SOO are League! That is what the Storm play! League!

SoO is not nRL. Victorians show some mild interest in SoO but next to no interest in nRL. Evident by crowds, TV ratings and media coverage.

And SOO is an event, which has following in any city. Home and away RL does not.Striker wrote:Clearly? Who says? Where's the freaking proof!

And as Stewie said, why the hell would Victorians dress up as reds or blues? Or yell racist comments!

Re: "The NRL is an absolute joke"
Aren't Victorians allowed to support one team or the other?? What law says they HAVE to be neutral??
League is League. SOO is League. NRL is League. It's all the same game that's being played. If the rules are different between SOO and NRL then please point them out to me.

Re: "The NRL is an absolute joke"
No law at all. But there's no passion, no interest in following either. Why would they dress up and paint their face if theyre not in it?Striker wrote:Aren't Victorians allowed to support one team or the other?? What law says they HAVE to be neutral??

Either way, SOO rated hundreds, the storm rated 10k for one live prime time game!
