Quote: Dave K. "I have to be honest I don't know much about the Storm, as I rarely watch them, so I suppose it's a bit like you in regards to Hull.
Looks like they need to improve their scouts in the Melbourne area if there don't produce any players, surprised they haven't offered you the job.'"
Melbourne is Australian Rules country, I can't emphasise how massive that game is there but in terms of participation (at school and semi-pro & amateur level) and attendance it would be up with football in the UK, maybe even higher % representation. On the playing side in Melbourne, below the top team ,rugby (both codes) is restricted to NSW, QLD & Kiwi expats and the Pacific Islander community.
