2019 R20 Fri - Broncos 4-40 Storm @ Suncorp

[ReddFelon]

Was quite demoralising. At the time most of us thought we’d be f**ked for at least a decade though!

I mean in a just world you'd have been disbanded.

2010 was the year that galvanised Victorians support of the Storm more then any other single event. They finally became Melbourne's team.

Inadvertently this was a masterstroke by the NRL, Victorians to this day consider there punishment to be overly harsh. The fact that this attitude rustles the jimmies of other NRL fans only makes it better.

It's not rocket science with Victorians. Any perceived injustice isn't their own fault, it's NSW that's to blame. A Victorian could stub their toe in Hobart on a table made in Perth find a reason to blame Sydney.

Be careful saying that, it's been said before, Dragons fans will tell you more

We haven't won in Melbourne since 1999. Wins in Sydney or Wollongong have been few and far between too.

In 2010 I used to drive over from adelaide for every home game to show my support for my mighty team. even though we didn`t play for points we played for charity."Points for Purpose" and the team and sponsors raised $150,000. Have to be proud of that effort .

 

[t-ba]

Good. 40-0 was giving me chills for some reason

Just think of that homophobic sack of shit crying at the end of that match.

Silver linings and all that...

 

[Bloke]

Very predictable result the broncos aren’t even close to the top teams this year.



Those Storm fans in 2010 who turned up every game have my full respect. I would struggled to watch my team if they had to play for f**k all for an entire season.

It was farkin tough but what do you do? There was no other thought in my head but to turn up and show my support every week throughout that season. That’s how I knew Melbourne weren’t going anywhere; the crowds didn’t greatly suffer, the local fans took ownership of the team. Melbourne sports fans are not fair weather supporters, they follow their team through the good and the bad.

Better hope your team never gets caught cheating then....oh, wait.

It's so strange all this obsession Victoria has with NSW. Nobody in NSW talks about Victoria or remotely cares about them but there that's all there is. I've got a book about the Brisbane League pre Broncos and some of those old blokes do nothing but go 'wank wank Sydney never had this what we had' they are in love with Sydney and NSW in general.

I once told of this victorian i went to school with who relentlessly pumped up Melbourne/Geelong to me.

Probably but tbf people have been saying that about them since Inglis left. Then Cronk then Slater.

Yeah but not many teams have had 3 ATGs.

Smith is the most important of them all, remember what happened when they played a grand final without him?

The position QLD are in now will mirror what the Storm will go through once he's gone.

People from Melbourne will tell you that St Kilda beach is better than Bondi. The inferiority complex down there is worse than NZ's vis-à-vis Australia.

These merkins have turned you into a bitter poet.
I'm like that, just minus the poet bit.

Implying that any team who have been non-compliant are at a 1:1 ratio with what Melbourne did is beyond disingenuous. If any Sydney based team were caught out by the fraud squad with a 5 year structured operation to cheat the system they'd have their licence cancelled and we'd have a team in Perth.
