and what does the nrl fg rate in Melb without the storm? Maybe there was no real boost in ratings because even storm fans are becoming indifferent to their success. I mean 9 GF appearances in 15 years is pretty messed up

NRL Grand Final ratings without Storm rate around the 350k - 400k

and yes, they benefit with a breed of crops direct from the sunny state.
they have had a golden 10 years.

all great teams come to an end.

There are great teams, then there's the Melbourne Storm.
In the 23 years of NRL history no other team comes close to them.
6 Grand final wins. Next best 3. With them making the GF another 4 times but not winning.
They've finished top of the ladder 7 times.
And made the semis 19 of the 23 years.

Making Victoria having the greatest Rugby league team in NRL history. With no sign of "coming to an end" imo.

The Big V reign supreme.

And I can't begin to tell you how much entertainment I get listening to the likes of Gus Gould trying to swallow that pill.

In there 23 years though they've had two premierships taken of them for cheating.

Over the same period East's have appeared in 8 Grand winning 4.

won 5 minor premierships: and 4 world club challenges.

Ah, I don't think so....

I'll never acknowledge that.

Storm have appeared 10 times and won 6.

Storm had won 7 minors and also 4 world club challenges.

You appear to be confused about what constitutes being a runner up.

Storm greatest team of the modern era. Go Vics.

Roosters and Storm have a fair few things in common.

they are rich clubs with well backed owners.

they have no grassroots and produce no talent.

they pretty much buy premierships lol

They may try and take our premierships but everyone knows the truth.

Bellamy I think is the one thing that makes Storm great. Greatest couch I think of any code in Australia.

I'll raise you the St George Dragons .... 11 grand final wins in a row from 1956 to 1966
no team in any sport in any tier one competition has got near that feat.
So they are the greatest team in RL & indeed any sport arguably.

Trust a vicderpian to not know about sporting records if it doesn't have a singlet involved lol
