nope, that's how it is, I have been right in every BS file so far, the biased mod on the other hand listens to the stupidest little ones and takes advice from them.

Firstly, if I was biased you would have lost today.

Second, decisions in claims involving you have been pretty even for and against. If you were judge you would be 6 and the opposition 0.

Whose bias? :?

So getting back on topic. Clearly the case has been proven here that the Melbourne Storm are a failed franchise. Not embraced by Victorians, miniscule supporter base which is predominately made up of New Zealanders, totally unsustainable and only kept alive by drip feed from News Ltd/NRL. Haemorraging millions year after year.

NRL Expansion

Adelaide = Failed
Perth = Failed
Melbourne = Failed
Gold Coast = Failed

Interesting to see if News still indulge in their rl pet now they don't have a vested interest.

Brisbane: higher membership numbers than the Bronco's. Higher home game average than the Titans, and almost all Sydney RL teams :lol:

Sydney: Higher membership tally than most of the NRL teams, if not all. Higher average attendance than all but 1 NRL team. :lol:

Suns: Higher membership tally and attendance than their direct opposition in the same economical and geographical conditions :lol:

Giants: haven't started


NRL expansion:

Reds: dismal fail

Storm: Lower membership tally and home crowd average than all 17 AFL teams! failure to grow despite a GF appearance of 1 every 3 years,

the Lions in 2004 ... had 30K members ... 2011 had 20K members ... 2012 ... will be lucky to have 15K
the Lions in 2004 ... averaged 33K fans a game ... in 2011... 20K ... in 2012 will be lucky to average 15K
the Lions in 2004.... were watched by an average 150K on FTA in Brisbane ... will be lucky if that stays above a 3rd of that in 2012

the Broncos had 4500 members in 2004 .... will have 20,000 in 2012.. most probably 5K more then the Lions
will have 35K average crowds ... & be watched by more then 5 times the numb of people on FTA TV
on top of about $22.60 in the bank

the Swans have experienced plummetting crowds ... ( may get rounded up by 3 NRL sides other then the Broncos in 2012)
memberships ... ( at least 3 NRL sides will put pressure on to overtake them either this year or next )
TV audience ... the Sharks are more popular 8-[
are on their way out after one year ..... plummeting memberships ... which will be followed by crowds
the Titans are more then twice as popular on TV then the Lions .. let alone the Thuns :wink:
8-[ :-k #-o :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
