Who Will Own the Storm in 2011

[Brutus]

News Ltd want to sell it. The current directors want to buy it. News doesn't want them to have it.

Why not?

The Jaycar bloke wanted to buy the Storm once upon a time.

Maybe if the Ind directors drop their legal action against News, then News will sell it to them. If they don't then why the f would they? I mean you dont do favours to people whoa re trying to destroy you.

But there will be plenty of interests in buying the property. Worst house, best street. etc

The Jaycar bloke wanted to buy the Storm once upon a time.

Jaycar, or Jayco?

 

[Brutus]

I should have said that Jaybloke...

 

[_snafu_]

Jaycar sponsors the Bulldogs.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

I'll give them $1 dollar

Molly Meldrum ?

He's more into boxing - getting punched around the ring is more his style.

 

[Jono1987]

$5.95 change for you sir. And thank you for shopping at Holt Street Bargin Bin, please come again.

No thank you sir

Molly Meldrum ?

So you're a Rodney Rude fan, I take it? :sarcasm:

News Ltd want to sell it. The current directors want to buy it. News doesn't want them to have it.

When the NRL grant matches the salary cap, owning a league team could be actually profitable.

So, who will be the owners?

John Ribot. Connected. Driven. Point to prove. Experience with league and Melbourne.

Or

John Singleton. League mad. Cashed up bogan. Needs a vehicle to promote his new melbourne radio Station. Would be able to claim drinking with Roy as a Tax Deduction.

Any others?

As a matter of interest here are the Pay TV Ratings for the Storm this year.

By way of comparison the aggregate Pay TV Ratings (in Australia) for all the Australian RU teams combined for the season just finished was:

Weeks 1 thru 14 -includes a split round)
