The storm's remorseless cheating (players signed 2 contracts but did nothing wrong and they still claim their stripped titles) cost us big time on the field as well as all the damage they have done to the game (and many players) with their despicable tackling techitechniques. I will hate them with a passion while ever Smith, Slater and Bellamy are still there (including if Smith takes over as coach).
It seems like most silvertails posters find a new team to hate each season - dogs then souffs and now roosters. Im interested to see who will be next years silvertails villains. Do they need to be a contender or will it be the eels?
Oh well. Each to their own. If other teams fans had our ability (well not mine) to let things go we wouldn't have so many arch rivals I guess.
Storm were always our main arch rivals in the millenium era. And I was happy with that. We were two powerhouse teams dominating the comp; although they were the cheats and we weren't...and it was great!
Sorry to say, but in 2012 we were weakened (no disrespect to Tooves), and that Slimy defection was the reason Storm became premiers again. That is why the hate may never die for that particular someone.
a) weakened us in 2012
b) strengthened dogs against us - became the wedge between us and storm.
c) the cheats became dominant again as a result of this.
Regarding Souths, it was the major lovefest that was making us hate them more. Once the favoritism died down, it's not as bad.
With roosters, it was the 2013 Gf, and what they got away with to win. I guess that's something we can get over, as its not the 1st time in a gf that 50/50 calls went against us.
As for richer clubs, doesn't bother me as much. As long our club is financially healthy, and runs stronger on heart and desire, i'd take that over the extra finance any day!
