Sorry I fell down laughing too hard....

Bit more of the old Columbian marching powder tonight, guttertroll?

Sniff, sniff...

www.nzherald.co.nz/league/news/a ... d=10640643 And for many in the 15-man game, what has happened at the Storm is comeuppance not only for historic grievances related to recruitment, but it is also comeuppance for a sport that has become morally and ethically bereft. What the Storm have done is confirm that league is a sport rotten to the core. Even the white collars in a blue collar sport can't be trusted now. Rugby couldn't ask for a greater opportunity to not only establish itself in Melbourne but also within league's strongholds The Storm and the questionable culture of the NRL should make it that bit easier for the Rebels. Melbourne is a city with a burgeoning, educated, middle class and rugby is a sport with a culture and values that will appeal to those sick of NRL, and to a lesser extent AFL, boof-heads. Surely rugby will be rewarded for its promotion of ethically sound, well-balanced young men?

They wonder why most right thinking fans either find them detestable or laughable. Or a combination of the two.

For the death riders as that idiot in the article, Melbourne lead the Warriors 32-0 as I type. Before a very noisy home crowd that must approach 20,000. Watching their team play for zero points.

40-0.

Crowd of 23,000.

Stand up and applaud all real rugby league fans.

over 23,000 fans have turned out tonight

the atmosphere sounds electric

its good to see them sticking by their team

In fact it was just under 24,000 as posted.

23,906 I think it was.

dead set thats brilliant!

I have delivered some appropriate messages of condolence to Messieurs Fitzsimons, Hinds and Colman.

just tell them to get f&&ked

death ridden by our enemies in afl and union

people said they would fold

backs to the wall with inglis not playing

they turn out and belt their opponents

their fans turn out in massive numbers and were screaming the whole game

thats RL for you!

Deathly silence from the trolls around here.

Shame.

I think the players and the supporters have stuck two right royal fingers up at the NRL!!!

I wonder what the salary cap value of the 19 man squad was for the Warriors game

Don't bother mate, these two would say that charles manson was innocent if he played league.
Cap??? They cheated and that's the end of it. The team tonight, regardless of their wages, were assembled and trained on a lie..........I said the warriors would get tonked and they did.
The NRL have again been made to look very stupid. Storm beating the warriors means nothing.......warriors, if they had beaten the storm, means nothing.....storm are cheats......that's a fact.

the storm winning tonight means something .


they're donating $20,000 to charity.

wish the NRL would match them, i bet they dont ,tight s.

Are you for real?
I am sorry, but 20k to charity makes it all right? FFS, that team were assembled on a lie, trained on a lie and built a club record on a lie.....anything they do, until they are disbanded means nothing. I don't give a f()ck about the AFL or ARU nicking players.....but until they are UNDER THE CAP properly, they are just cheats.
For the record, XIII heroes (1 guy) raised more than 20k crimdollar on his own for charity........and murdoch wasn't bankolling him)....that's an effort, not turning up to play what you got OVERPAID for

Why should the players get shafted for,it's the big boys that put them in this mess in the first place.


And as for charity, 20k is 20k I'd rather see it going to charity then going in there pockets lol.

Even though they fu/cked up.

24,000 turned up to watch them tonight,and from what I heard they might even appeal agains't it.

sorry, I don't buy the "we didn't know" line.......some of their stars new all to well.


.......hey, 20k is 20k.....but it doesn't change the fact that the club systematically cheated......

....you think




Great crowd and I suspected (see other thread) that the warriors would get a severe hammering....but if they appeal, I hope the NRL double the fine and award them no points for 2011 as well. On what grounds could they appeal? They broke the rules, set out to break the rules and managed to con everyone for a few years......there is no excuse. They have cheated, got caught and been punished. They should just get on with it.

Appeal agains't they had no F idea what was going on....

what a great result and a great crowd

im sure this will make a lot of people in AFL and union upset

Shows that Storm are going nowhere other than getting bigger and bigger. Wel done to Storm fans who sucked it up and got out there to support THEIR club. I see the RU vultures are circling! www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/nrl/m ... 5858127543 Damn shame if he goes (Slater), most exciting player in RL to watch. Would be a huge waste of talent.

Agree that the storm are a good club in the fact that they have a loyal supporter base and give the NRL a foothold in enemy territory, but slater is one of those players who (in my opinion) knew that something was up.........so let's see how "loyal" he is in the next 10 days. Not knocking him if he goes (and I think he would make a great 10 or 12 in Union), but let's see how many of their overpaid stars hang around when offered buckets of cash. The AFL were talking about him in glowing terms..........funny how Union and AFL dismiss league then go after league stars......

Actually you are the one who looks like the idiot after death riding them...

24,000 rabid fans.
