Bellamy whinging? Please mate, your club got an illegal financial leg up for the best part of five seasons. You don't deserve any advantages, especially after buying two of those players BACK to the club!
Still hurts even after a couple of months eh Tim Tam? :lol: Anyway, Bellyache isn't asking for any 'advantages'. While it's impossible to have a level playing field in regards to the draw especially when the powers that be essentially handed control of it to the chief broadcaster, when you have one team handed 4 games with only a 5 day turn around and others that have none there's something seriously wrong with the system.
While i'm well aware of why they want/need certain teams filling the prime time FTA slots and those will never be evenly distributed, when it comes to the short turn arounds there has to be some sort of evenness in that respect and would also be a relatively simple thing to achieve. I honestly couldn't give a flying f**k how many/few FTA games we get, it's something that has always happened and always will so there's no point whinging about it.
Put your cheating bullshit aside and whatever heartache you still have for a second which has absolutely nothing to do with the argument, this game is by far the toughest and most brutal in the world and as tough as the blokes are who play it they're only human. I've absolutely no problem with anything else in our draw besides so many short turn arounds. You might scoff at player welfare and bag Bellyache for having the audacity of giving a f**k about his players but it's a very valid point he's making regardless of what you think of him personally.
This isn't just about the Storm either, I can't stand Manly but i also think it's bullshit that they copped so many Monday night games. It's very easy for you to sit back having a go at the 'whingers' when your only complaint is that you only get to play a certain team once. No doubt if you were in the situation of a few other teams that didn't get so lucky you'd be one of the whingers as well.
