Storm brewing as Melbourne commemorate salary-cap tainted 'premiership'

The Storm in 2007 & 09 are no different to Canberra 90/91 and the Broncos throughout the 90’s. Only difference is the later started their own competition

actually there is another really important and key difference, and perhaps it is the most important thing... the Raiders and Broncos premierships are recorded in the history books. History does not and never will record those Storm teams as premiers.

Thanks for playing though, Diesel.

To be fair, the amount of people guilty of this is ridiculous. Numbers are reported by the telegraph and then repeated regularly enough that they become fact.

Eg Ben Hunt. What number springs immediately to mind when you think of his salary? I guarantee that it’s a number that was both denied by Millward, our head of pathways, and laughed off by Hunt.
$6m over five years. His contract expires at the end of the 2021 season.

That article has no sources except where they reference themselves reporting on it previously.

Try again?
How about you go back to your home forum and have a look at the discussion around when The Dragons signed Ben Hunt. It started a civil war at the time.

Started a civil war?

My home forum is like the United States. We’ve been at war as long as anyone can remember, and the whole thing would fall apart if we ever stopped.

I dont see the big deal of any of this tbh... Melbourne can do as they please, they can display the trophies, they can put words on a jersey...it doesnt matter, the history and results are unchanged. Nothing the NRL can do can wipe those memories for storm players and fans, and nothing the storm players, fans or club can do to change the history.

It’s not a big deterrent is it? Cheat, win and get the great feelings and the memories. The only difference is you don’t have the trophy in your cabinet anymore. As a player, who would give a shit?

Aside from the cheating stuff, why did the NRL need to pay for Smiths dinner? Is he broke?

I agree with your point and actually, I'm pretty sure Smith mentioned that the trophies are on display at the Melbourne Storm offices.

The NRL should have demanded the return of all the rings.

Weak as piss.
But then what would Cam and Cooper do without an epic journey to ANZ?
How can Bellamy rule middle earth without the one ring? When the 17 are destroyed only then will men will not be slaves to greed.
