It was a reasonably low-key welcome home for the Storm, with around 50 fans greeting them at Melbourne Airport.

Had a friend go to the see them yesterday - said that there were about 150 at the ground later - although the media counted it as being "in the hundreds". (It wasnt a public holiday in Vic, so, that counts for a few not being there - probably another 50-100)

When will they realise that no other sport will ever establish themselves in Victoria during winter?

Im not into conspiracy theories, however, it makes you wonder sometimes. Is our game being destroyed by short sighted idiots?

82,000 at ANZ yesterday, with nominally 75,000 supporting Parra.

You tell me, where should the $$ be being spent, to make our great game live?

the NRL should relocate the Storm to Central QLD

NRL only focus on QLD & NSW, ACT forget the rest never gonna make it.

No way was it a try! Gifted that premiership, it works out perfect for the NRL that Melbourne win that game......

Also let's see how much merchandise was sold for the Eels compared to the Storm.......yet they will continue to favour the Storm over any team!!!

At the risk of upsetting people. There are a lot of sour grapes in this thread.

They had a function at a football ground to go to. Why would they great them at the airport? The function at the ground was very well turned out. They also has a pretty large function the night before at Acer Arena for their fans, again, well attended. I suppose it pales against the 100k that turned out to greet newcastle in 2001, would that have made you feel better?
