2017 Prelim Final, Fri - Storm 30-0 Broncos @ AAMI

[blaza88z]

so we go through this every week don`t you get sick of this conversation. We cheated we cop it they cheated they cop it.end of

This is going to sound bitter coming from me (because my team just got pumped) but what exactly did you cop?

You were able to keep 3 of the best players in the world, should've been forced to completely re-assemble the squad, you're still benefiting even to this day

Who do you support now that your club doesn't play in the NRL?

Melbourne, can't wait for next weekend. Never had a club in the nrl prior to 1999.

 

[This Year?]

I followed afl but after going to watch a Storm game early in 1998 I converted to Storm.I have been a member since 98. How long have you been a member of your club? Everyone has been to a "first game"

I've followed my club since '96 but ditched membership this season. Enjoy the grand finals while you can because you don't know how lucky you are to have success until your team doesn't go so well.

nah its great to support a perennial loser what the heck are you talking about. The crushing disappointment every year is quite refreshing

What this highlights is just how awful Penrith were last week.

Better bait needed.

Why? We got back under the cap without having to lose them. I must have missed the nrl rule that says every player becomes a free agent if you cheat the cap and you have to start with a new squad.

I am going to enjoy it...
Do you feel like you are a manufactured supporter or a real supporter cos I feel like I am a real supporter of my footy team

 

[Canard]

Although the Broncos went out with barely a whimper they still had a very good season. It's a shame for their supporters and news ltd that it was a poor last game.

The Storm played like they were tanking for next week and will be much better for the run. It's a shame they made it though because the plastic club with their manufactured fans don't really appreciate hows special grand final week is. They have never known how it feels to struggle and probably never will thanks to their "owners".

Top shelf cry.

They have no idea. I had to wait a lifetime to see my club win a grand final while some others get to see 6.

You went further than plenty of other sides so there must be something in that.

There isn't, it just highlights how the overall standard of footy this year hasn't been that good.

Plenty of sides started strong, or finished strong but no one has really matched the Storm in consistency.

When your loyalty gets tested then you'll be a real supporter. Wait until you have a few lean seasons then you'll see.

You picked the wrong club lol

Right, so on that.. Brisbane could simply outbid any other club (given we're probably the richest in the comp), systematically cheat and then find a way to keep our spine and fill the remainder of the squad with fringe first graders

There is no way in the world Smith, Cronk and Slater wouldn't of gone to a new club when they broke into the grade if they weren't signing 2 contracts

i know what that feels like but you still turn up every week to encourage the team.

Best of a bad bunch then. I would prefer to be a sh*t side playing in the finals than just a sh*t side.

I have at least seen the Raiders win a premiership (when i was 11). When I am a gibbering senile old man hopefully I will regress to thinking its 1994

The Storm have had some poor years. Early 2000's the Storm struggled. Then 2010 was very testing time for a lot of fans. Anyone who stuck with the Storm through those times is most definitely a real supporter

 

[Spot On]

Poor 'ol Kevvie Walters. Has he stopped crying yet?

Slater collects Marshall around the noggin by accident after Marshall falls over into a tackle and Kevvie rightly says you can not attack the player's head - penalty given.

5 mins later Blair swings a stiff arm attacking the head of a Mlb player in a tackle and Kevvie asks whether it's really deserving of a penalty.

FMD.
