I LOVE MELBOURNE STORM
I love Melbourne storm. I love the tingling sensation of when they run out on the field, when the crowd roars at the sight of Billy Slater on the big screen, or the sound of the seats clattering as everyone jumps up after a try.
I love Melbourne storm. I love the tingling sensation of when they run out on the field, when the crowd roars at the sight of Billy Slater on the big screen, or the sound of the seats clattering as everyone jumps up after a try.
I love the feeling of a hot pie in my hands,
waiting to be eaten. I love the smell of Coke or a Beer on the concrete floor
of the stadium. I love the comforting feeling of a burly most-likely- biker
behind me barracking for the same team.
I love the
anthems at the start. The unity of all the stadium. I love the sparks, the
flames and the fireworks. The streamers, the balloons, and the whole show side
of the NRL.
I love the
crowd, the people who create the noise, the people who create the club, the
people who create the atmosphere. I love the riots, I love the punch ups, and I
love the arguments.
I
love sitting at home on my couch watching, staring at the TV screen. I love the
rain at the game, I like the sun at the game. I like a day game, but I
especially love a night game.
I love Melbourne Storm.

SALARY CAP SCANDEL

SALARY CAP SCANDEL
2 years ago Melbourne Storm exceeded the
NRL’s salary cap and ‘cheated’. The result of the scandal was the loss of
Melbourne Storm’s 2006, 2007 and 2008 Minor Premierships, and the loss of their
2007 and 2009 Premiership. The Premiership cups were taken back and the record
books now show ‘The 2009 premiership winner was Melbourne Storm*’.
Ex-executives later came out to the press
and said that their old team and many others used to cheat, it’s just that
Melbourne Storm were stupid enough to write it down. Also, to add to Storm’s
punishment they were not allowed to get any points for the 2010 season. It
would’ve been hard to play knowing that you are automatic wooden-spooners. It
does show Melbourne Storm’s spirit and toughness to battle on in such a
physically demanding game, knowing the only thing they would get at the end of
the season would be an injury. Had the been awarded points for games won in the
2010 season, Storm would’ve finished second, so imagine what they could’ve done
if they had some motivation.
It was a truly saddening event for
Melbourne Storm supporters everywhere. However through that situation Storm
held their heads high, and did their best although there was nothing to play
for. Melbourne Storm is a club with passionate supporters, it is the only
Victorian NRL club, and the supporters and club have to stay strong as one or
Victorian Rugby League could eventually deteriorate. That is my view on the salary cap scandal and
just a few reasons why it is the best club in the world.

GREG INGLIS AT HIS BEST!!
Greg Inglis. One of Storm's greatest players. This is his famous 'Flying Try' where he's over the line but in mid air he throws it behind him. Unfortunatly Greg Inglis is now at the Rabbitohs but served us well at
Melbourne Storm. This is from a Centenary Aus vs NZ Match.
