Quote: roopy "There is a strong Melbourne Storm vibe about Toronto.'"
In 21 years the Storm have played in 9 Grand Finals, won 5 titles, 2 stripped for cheating, are the #5 best supported NRL side and as of their 2019 Squad as listed on Wikipedia, not one of their players was born in Victoria, but plenty were from NSW/Qland, NZ, Fiji and PNG.
None of this seems to bother the fans of other NRL clubs, nor thew TV companies, the NRL/ARL or anyone else, but they were protected from relegation, which begs the question that if money bill and whomever Argyle sneaks under the cap for 2020 don't stop them from going straight back down, will the SL expand or will they be allowed to slip back down the ladder?
The other scenario is that Argyle rides roughshod over the cap in pursuit of glory....how do the SL chairmen handle that?
