Actually it's not cheating.

NRL and NSWRL both approved it.

So quit your whinging.

What's the difference between this arrangement and Dogs/Bankstown Bulls with their stacked sides.

If anything, this arrangement is detrimental to the side.

Players from 2 separate clubs, who would only get 1 maybe 2 training sessions a week as a full squad.

The Melbourne guys spend most of their time in Melbourne.

And Wests Tigers get Balmain & Wests players.

Its not cheating by any definition. The NRL & NSWRL sanctioned it.

Come on the SHARKNADO!

The reason this team goes well is not the merger/shared player arrangement, it's the fact that Cronulla were rubbish for so long and were forced to hand players like M Wright, Stapleton, Mills, Gardener and Townsend literally hundreds of first grade games between them, while other clubs laughed and pitied. With the ensuing good recruitment these hacks were rightly relegated but were now miles ahead of NSW cup experience wise -Gibbs and Ross also spent plenty of time in this grade-. The only really good storm players in the team were Finch and Blair, who got pulled up to firsts anyway and won't be playing in the finals. Keep in mind that the Storm players NEVER train with this squad and you could argue the gun storm reggies players like Hampton and that other big fella are with their Brisbane feeder club.

I hope Windsor win because I want Blake Austin to hit WT training on a high and looking to make the NRL 6 jersey his own.

A lot of ex WT lower graders from years past running around for the Sharks though so if they win all well and good

Peachey is a beast

They still have to abide by a salary cap. NSW Cup teams are only limited by the number of fulltime players their parent club sends to them. When there are two parent clubs there are twice as many fulltime players going to the feeder team.

Its not cheating by any definition. The NRL & NSWRL sanctioned it.

That's because they don't care who wins. I agree it's not cheating, but it is an unfair advantage. That's why it's being stopped for next year.

I don't understand the point in whinging about something the NRL & NSWRL sanctioned, which is ending this year.

I like how we have full access to two squads despite the vast majority of Storm's reggies play QLD Cup.

NSWRL Club Champions... Deal with it.

Windsor looked a bit rusty in their 1st half against Newcastle.

We clicked into gear in the 2nd half.

That game was a great prep for next Sunday.

how many Storm players play in the CS reserve grade side- I find this rather bizarre owing to the fact you want your reserve grade team to play in a similair manner to the NRL side in case you need to being these players upto NRL so they will know the drills and moves etc. That would mean the Melbourne storm players would be able to pass this info on the NRL club coaches/players. Doesn't Canberra do they same have their players play for one of the other NRL sides NSW Cup side?

Albury??? gees it's getting a bit like ask the Leyland brothers this NSW Cup comp with all this travelling.
