The grand plan

[BuffaloRules]

Couple of points
1. Storm have had over $300million of nrl funding in that time, plus another $100mill from their owners.

You have said this several times ……Explain this nrl funding ? Is this the same funding the other teams get… most of which gets spent paying players ? Not sure how that alone does much to build a culture or brand …it’s certainly no advantage over your competitors ..

2. storm are one club in a city of 6million, not 25 clubs across a population of around 14million.

And they compete in the most parochial sports city in the world who have nine teams in their cult competition lined up against them …

I say this once again - if they can succeed there, then it’s possible for any team to succeed anywhere

It goes a very long way to giving the club the funds it needs to build. A successful club, market it to the heathens, create a game day fans want to be part of etc etc

I’m sure if a SL club in London was funded to the tune of $400mill over 27 years it would also be a decent rugby league club In a soccer mad city.

Yes with $400 million spent in a City of 6 million it sure is!
