This is bullshit.I am tired of the "we dont care what you think" line.
Translated - that means "We cheated to win comps and we dont care if that offended you"
Storm fans complain that THEY didnt rort the cap - it was the club, not the fans - so why are people being bagged by those nasty Sydney people?
The link is in the attitude. Storm fans - like Melb Belle and Noa and Josh that agreed with her - are displaying the same "f*ck you - we dont care what you think - as far as we are concerned we won those comps" attitude that Bellamy, the players and the club display.
Guess what. With that attitude, dont whinge when you are getting verballed for your sh*thouse attitude at Kogarah/Brookie/Ausgrid/Parramatta/Suncorp or wherever.
Makes me appreciate blokes like Lesstar, and the handful of Storm supporters that actually get it, even more.
You all need to seriously move on, get over it and enjoy the football.
The Storm shouldn't have had the titles taken off them, that's has achived sfa imo

I have never at all ever said that we deserve those premierships, we cheated and were rightfully stripped of them. From day 1 I have always said we deserved punishment, the club wasnt playing by the rules and were dealt with accordingly. I was very disappointed with the club but stuck it out because I love League and love the Storm.
What I dont give a flying about is how you or anyone else thinks i should act as a Storm fan, I am extremly proud of the way they have played this year and am enjoying seeing them run around during the finals.

Another example - gallops reception today. The 14000 f*ckwits never booed the architects of the cheating, did they.
Do you give a sh*t about the fans who were cheated by your club's actions?
Do you understand the anger when Bellamy snubs the entire League world saying sh*t like he did?

Im glad you asked what I would have done. Removing our name from the titles was a cosmetic move and nothing else, it certainly hasnt given any peace of mind to Eels or Eagles fans, and in reality it hasnt hurt the Storm enough.
I would have
1) Put a dirty big asteriks alongside our names in the record books stating how much we were over each year.
2) Fine us $5million, maybe distributed too all the clubs
3) Have us play on a reduced salary-cap corresponding to what we were over each year e.g. 900K under in 2011, 700k under 2012, 400K under 2013, 200k under 2015. Imo this would have hurt us so much more and theres is no way we could have kept one of the big 3, so we probably wouldve have shipped out Cronk, Blair, Lowrie and Hinchcliffe as well.
I accept that you are entitled to an opinion - even one I completely disagree with.
What I'd like to know, based on your opinion, is this:
What should happen to an organisation that lies, cheats and steals?
They should be punished. And not just BS cosmetic punishments. For this sort of systematic cheating they should have had been banned from the comp for 3 years.
i think the premierships should be given back.. i think once Gallop finishes as CEO the commision will probally re- instate them..
