Hey Perth red and the other Melbourne Mong we’re putting crap on the bears

fairs fair to point out how poorly the storm are doing
Never put crap on the bears, just said some fans need to get over the fact the NRL rightly saw more value in a team in Melbourne than a struggling Sydney club (the bears)

Something centy is obviously still sore about

Are you having a bad day mate? Explain to me how a club with 118 teams in a small corner of Sydney will produce more nrl players than one in a major city which has a booming junior base of over 250 teams? I know you hate the storm but show a bit more sense than this.
Easy, spell it with me A F L
The Storm will always get their players from NSW, QLD and the Pacific Islands.

Again silence ?, how many of the above NRL Squad of 22 players are actually from VIC ?
Since when is an nrl squad 22 players

There are 3 contracted Victorians, upon further digging the 4th I mentioned earlier I think is actually a west Australian

Dean Iremia in middle, Victorian junior and Melbourne Storm's 2021 rookie of the year award recipient

End of the day Melbourne didn't get in and the bears dropped because of grassroots players - the value a Melbourne club brings to the league is massive, the fact you can't see this is unbelievable

Because I’m 25 years as an nrl club how many storm players come from Victoria juniors only ?

Is it zero ?

I don’t hate the storm but let’s be real here

Wb has lost it by the looks of it. This discussion is as dumb as it gets.

If superleague continued its very likely Melbourne would of been added to that comp in 98, ie with Perth, pretty sure there's even concepts of a Melbourne superleague jersey floating around

That’s not an answer

it’s a valid question
I’ve already answered it. And this anti Melbourne thing is pretty pathetic. They’ve just announced record participation, their rep teams are full of locally developed players and you and your mate want to dwell on the past. It’s attitudes like yours that hold the game back.

Perth and the Mariners, don’t forget the Mariners, Melbourne got the best leg up all because of their owners News Ltd, John Ribot and two sets of books
