Call it cynicism if you like but-

I can see a lot of ex-Storm players getting media roles. To the point where they are notably overrepresented in the media. This to drive up the interest in the Melbourne public of tuning in to watch where the networks get their advertising dollars from. It will have a positive effect on their turnover no doubt, but it will have the negative effect on how the Storm are discussed, both at their present time and historically. It could lack much of the objectivity it deserves that we see on platforms like this.
It’s the dodgy third party “promise” that guarantees Storm can keep players well under their market values..

Yeh nice conspiracy theory, why then schedule the Storm against an AFL final? This game will rate Zero in Melbourne.

And what about all the Knights players that used to be C9 staples?

Not overly worried. Manly looked lost that set - but I hate tries like that
I dunno abt that.... we did cross the Storm line twice first opportunity we got this game...even field position from now, we can come back.
