But the players and the coach were the DIRECT BENEFICIARIES of the Storm's cheating. They benefited from additional illegal income (or illegal goods in kind like Inglis' boat or Cam Smith's kitchen), they benefited from the experience of illegally winning premierships, and they benefited from a period of illegally obtained positive reputations.
It is very right imo that fans of all clubs stick it to the Storm players and coach at every opportunity when they appear to play, still illegal until players are shed for next season.
If some Storm fans wish to stick up for the players who were the direct beneficiaries of their club's cheating, and get upset on internet forums when other fans tell it like it is, then that is their choice. But they can't have it both ways.
If it happened to my club, I'd blame the officials, and I also wouldn't support the arrogance of the coach and players while they play the victim card in all this, and refuse to admit the penalties given by the league are ENTIRELY FAIR.
I can't believe I used to think you were a decent human being, you're just a typical Parra troll sprouting the same irrational, illogical, bitter, twisted, venom that they do but nobody calls you on it cos you used to be a mod.
Pfft! So you're basically saying that because the players benefited from the rorting, WE did too cos we got to support a team of cheats and therefore we deserve to be bashed all over the forum? f**k off!!
P.S I call total and utter bullsh*t on you that you would walk away from your club if the shoe was on the other foot. It's plainly obvious that you're a one-eyed, passionate supporter of the Eels, so as if you'd walk away!:roll:
This thread really shows the intelligence of these Storm haters. Proof in the fact that the first few replies were 'f**k the Storm'...
To me those 'fans' with criticism of the Storm in their avatars and signatures or whatever, seem to care more about hating the Storm than supporting their own team. In fact it seems a lot of them just follow Rugby League just to complain and whinge about everything.
This! Some people are just on this forum for the sole purpose of trolling the Storm supporters. If they showed half as much dedication to their OWN TEAMS, the nrl would be in a lot better shape.
It helps when they are constantly defending their clubs dispicable actions and blaming everyone but their own club for what happened.
Have never ONCE defended the salary cap rorting. Never. And I think if you were being honest it's really only one, maybe two, Storm supporters on here that have, so don't tar us all with the same brush please.
:lol: and Storm fans wonder why they come under attack...
Ok so going with that, why don't you judge all the parra fans by the likes of "someone" or Bartman? Cos it doesn't suit your argument is why.
