Observers say that News cannot afford to let the Storm fail because its real interest in the code is in the value of broadcasting matches, through its half-owned Fox Sports channel, and through the advertising it can sell.

Without a credible presence in Victoria, the value of NRL falls away because national advertisers want their products seen in all major population centres.

As Storm chairman Rob Moodie conceded the playing list would take "huge hits" to get under the cap, Smith said they would try to make it happen without losing anyone.

That's great news for the game. If they decided to walk away now it would have been a disaster. Big relief!

Quote: garethtaylor15 "Please note there has been 4 winners and 5 runners ups in 6 union world cups.
Where RL has 3 winners and 4 runners up(1england1gb same team.?) in about 15 world cups, that is one hell of a difference.!'"


Troll confirmation...

Note mods.

Please identify the next union team to win the WC who hasn't won one...

Please don't make me laugh with France.

There is no one left in union to win it and add another winner.

3/4 versus 4/5.

Fish oil thinks he is on a winner.

Ask eels fan if you have any doubt.

Or pop over to totalrl to find two brainboxes discussing both of us...

Quote: eels fan "Don't know why, but I have a feeling the locals are going to get behind them regardless, they'll see this as a NSW conspiracy to kill them off thus making it an us vs them thing.

I've seen it already happening at Bigfooty, people who have hanged garbage on the Storm for years talking about them and saying how unfair it all is blah blah blah.

If I wasn't thinking right, I might tend to think this came out now to errm, give a bit of a kick a vic passion involved to pump up the rivalry
The braindead who rush to judgment around here still won't understand the depth in that post...

icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

As I said, this will MAKE the Storm.

Sad for the many trolls now attracted to this site by the likes of me but true...

Any of the doubters may step forward and I will now say to them, "I told you so..."

icon_lol.gif

This was the first thing that was bound to happen.

The mindset of News would NEVER let them walk away in this situation...

The making of the Storm starts now.

Surprising as a non-union lover you remain fixed to a rah rah site.

Thanks again for confirmation number 1000.

As for the Rebels, that just shows how stupid Australian union fans (the 3 of them) are and why they will always be the fourth football code or falling here...

I know what Reuters is, twit.

Are you suggesting the news only went to those 5 nations, too?

And good to see you posting and not just reading and then running away again.

Congrats.

Good to see you back.
