Not correct Woodsie , when they had the big games at the G most flew in from BNE/ SYD.And yet ... if we play a SOO game in Melb they can pack out the MCG ... the game, and Melb are big enough for a team to be based there .. just hate the team that is there ..
And as far as the coverage in the papers is concerned .... they are going the way of the dinosaur ... most fans get their info and supporter fix from social media the same as we do ...

I took a Broncos corporate group down to one , every flight up to about 2pm ex BNE were 99% full of maroon fans , and that had been the case for the two days before as well.
MCG crowds for SOO would be made up approximately of , 80% fly in fly out , 15% League fans living down south , 4% sponsors and 1% curious Melbournites.

I should add that the nrl must continue to do this at the expense of all the other clubs. Because it makes complete sense to ostracise millions of fans in NSW in the hope of securing less than 5000 new fans in Victoria, over a 25 year period.If the nrl is serious about making league popular in Victoria they need to ensure that the storm keep being the best team with the best players, and win heaps of premierships every decade.
So far the hundreds of millions of leg-up dollars over 20 years, with multiple premierships have secured the support of about 13,000 kiwis that live in Melbourne.
Going forward, a 25 year strategy and a generous budget should influence about another 5000 melbournians to attend a game every so often. I advise the nrl to double the funding for the storm.
Exactly right, just window dressing by the NRL to appear to be a national sport, the same window dressing by the AFL when they try to play internationals in some convoluted hybrid game.Having a team in Victoria is just window dressing by the NRL so as to appear as a Australia wide sport which in reality it is not. AFL on the other hand has made inroads in NSW with many juniors playing.
The thing is all the Premierships in the world wouldn’t make the average born and bred Victorian follow league.I should add that the nrl must continue to do this at the expense of all the other clubs. Because it makes complete sense to ostracise millions of fans in NSW in the hope of securing less than 5000 new fans in Victoria, over a 25 year period.
That means no premierships for anyone except the storm for 25 years.
SOO games in Melbourne only attract large crowds because of the absolute hatred that Mexicans have for New South Welshmen, if you remember back to past games played there the vast majority of crowd support is firmly behind QueenslandAnd yet ... if we play a SOO game in Melb they can pack out the MCG ... the game, and Melb are big enough for a team to be based there .. just hate the team that is there ..

Me as wellOkay .. I stand corrected ... thanks
Arguably the Monkees later stuff after they escaped their contract and put out a couple of great albums of their own music is really good. Also Mike Nesmith released awesome psychocountry albums in the early 70s.The Storm was just a manufactured team to appease News Corp, they are to Rugby League what the Monkees were to music, great in their time with great resources, but eventually it can't be sustained

Micky DolenzYeah, but which one got to keep the Monkeemobile?
Sydney...oh you mean Melbourne?Small and solid, being the only NRL team in the most populous city in the country.
Sydney...oh you mean Melbourne?
No Sydney is still larger and will remain so for some time to come, in large part courtesy of COVID-19 and Victoria’s ramshackle cum heavy handed response.
Suck sh-t Melbourne, you hubristic bastards.😉
