yes as the owners of Storm they did. As usual you've no clue what you're talking about. Care to show a link to refute anything I've posted?

the deal was with the arl to bring origins and test matches to melbourne in return for the new ground

news ltd dont sign on behalf of the ARL dunce, as much as theyd like too

Does this mean we'll see less Aussies moving to SL? If so I'm all for it. This is perhaps the shunt this country needs to begin developing it's homegrown talent properly.

Think you'll find the Storm have also signed a guarantee deal. Can't find the link but sure it was a Masters article re News walking away and their insistence that the Storm remain funded. Exactly why do you think they are insisting on this? Maybe you are stupid enough to believe they have the good of the game at heart?

yep it does.
