Slightly off topic however discussion has led there through the defence of Mlb... I hope anyone who is pro Storm also support a Perth team before a Central Coast team for "the sake of expansion".
As for the money, the sad thing is not only does there need to be a team in Mlb for the future of the game, it needs to be a successful team as dwindling support for the Swans has shown.
Sadly the Storm will need this money to help them for the near future, however I hope there is a plan in place from both the NRL and the Storm mapping out a time frame for how long these payments will be made and how they will continue to prosper without them.
Have a think about this for a minute.
Melbourne are being propped up by this $5-6 million a year yes? But how much does Melbourne add to our current and future TV rights? The Victorian market is a big one and I for one think that although the Storms balance sheet looks bad, and are helped by 50% of the NRL, the NRL's balance sheet looks better with Melbourne.
I say that if News Ltd leave the Storm, the new commission should fund the debt that Melbourne may fall into. Melbourne will one day be self sufficiant, but they need help from the stronger Rugby League community, the other clubs. Once Melbourne is strong enough, they will naturally help the rest of the clubs.
I feel the same way if a Perth side was introduced
