Melbourne Storm are to are to Rugby League what McDonalds are to Michelin restaurants.
If McDonalds was funded by said Michelin Restaurants.
No problem with a Victorian team, and it has no bearing on Melbourne. I just can't stand the usurper of our sport foisting a franchise upon us at the expense of any of 3 foundation clubs.
The Storm are a well run franchise, fantastic staff and players. Good on the Victorians who have gotten behind them (anyone else from outside Vic is just a bandwagoner IMHO), keep pushing for more Rugby League down there in Mexico!
Unfortunately for you guys, the manner of your franchise's inclusion was at the expense of tradition, and pushed in by a corporation that nearly killed the game, and has continued to leech off it for years.
Melbourne's success will always smell bad to those of us who question the fairness of a corporation that is still trying to provide Melbourne's answer to the Swans.
Finding 40000 Melbournians that aren't fascinated with fumbleball is pushing runny sh*t uphill with a strainer.
