The Storm Rorting Super Thread.....

I completely agree they should not be given the premierships. If Storm wasn't there (and lets face it we have to look at it as if they weren't after finding out they cheated that whole time) then 2 other teams would of been the premiers and there is no possible way of knowing who those 2 teams would be. As you said, any game in the season that Storm played in was a cheated game so the entire results of the ladder every week are void.
 
The problem with allowing them to keep playing is that, while they can't make the top 8 themselves, they'll be affecting the chances of the other teams to make it. Also, what happens when a player suffers a season-ending injury in one of these games against the Storm?

In the 18 games they have left in the season they play everyone except the Titans and Dragons, with two games each against the Dogs, Cowboys, Rabbits, Raiders and Warriors.
 
What are they suggesting??? That someone from sydney 'planted' the files in the cabinet'!

And it is all just a hoax?!

If you support your club after an episode of this nature then you are worse than the club you support!!!
 
Who would want them….

Tops .....I'm concerned your taking this Stinking class act Storm thing a little hard....Rugby League has been through shams before....came out the other end...

I got a suggestion....remove the Storm from '07 and '09 have the team that finished 9th in and play 2 finals series with the legitamate Top 8.... :smiley:

Bring on the Panthers....Yeaaaah.... :sign:
 
Irrationality is to be expected in these circumstances.

Especially for someone in Meldrums position. It would be easier to believe that it is all somehow a conspiracy rather than accept that people you had trusted and been friends with have deceived you and everyone else on such an aggregious scale

WESTS TIGERS CAUGHT RORTING THE CAP….
Farah's Kabab's and Lortay's Latte's at the centre of investigation....

How would you feel then..... 😱pen_mouth:
 
But Geo, how can we be sure who REALLY came 9th now? All results of the ladder every week the years they cheated are worth nothing now.

Im not suggesting that it is the end of league GEO! :unamused:

I personally feel Rorted! I have been supporting my 'legitimate' club over these 5 years for what?
It's no wonder they dominated for so long and gave every other club almost no chance of winning!
What about our players? Don't you think they feel robbed too? They bust their guts out, take pay cuts, only to find that realistically they never had a chance at dominating the comp because we played fairly and lost games due to lack of depth within our playing ranks! We could've had another premiership! We could have had another magical night at ANZ!

Life will go on! The NRL will survive! But how can't you be angry at what these mungrels have done to our sport?
 
Aah now I understand..I didn't think you where… 😕 ..see I had an inkling for quite a while that all was not legit with the stinking Class Act Storm going back longer than 5 years so I spose the differnce is I'm not that Shocked.... :astonished:

Yes...... as a Rugby League fan I'm fithy at what their delibrate Rorting of the System has meant to other Clubs and the plathora of possibilities that could have been if they where caught earlier......can't change any of it though....
 
I think that the storm do not deserve to be in the comp because they are a bunch of crooks who cheated the system. Eventually every club gets pinged for example the bulldogs in 2008 and the warriors in 2006\. They are ruining the game not just for the other teams but for the fans as well, they are probably throwing there jerseys in the garbage bin. In conclusion Craig Bellamy you should be ashamed of yourself and you are doing to the game. Your CEO is going to jail and you are going to fired by David Gallop.
 
Meldrum is an idiot - to much drugs…

Cheating is cheating and I hope the others that may be doing it get cauaght as well.

If it happened to the Tigers...... I would be very angry but still follow them....

Can't wait for the post match interview and press conference. What sort of questions can you ask a teams coach and captain after they just played for nothing and no matter what are guaranteed the spoon. I mean talking about disallowed tries and bad ref calls that went against you etc just doesn't matter when you have 0 before you kick a ball off.
I'd also like to know what a coach has to say to his team at halftime?

All the team has to play for is pride and the joy of competition. Maybe that will be enough for them…

You could make this same argument for the Sharks in about 5 rounds (probably even now but I'm being kind). No chance to make the 8 but could still have a big impact on teams that might make it.
 
It is a very complex issue. I would be all for letting them get under the cap and competing for points.

But than what about those teams who lost to the Storm whilst over the cap? You cannot just give them points because it is a unknown as to what the result would be.

Better off to sit them on -18 or the like to guarantee they would not play finals football
 
It is such a shambles. I am actually quite down about it. There are A LOT of innocent victims in all of this mess, from the Storm and otherwise.

Such a blight on the great game.

Have heard it all now, Molly Meldrum on the news stating that all along Sydney have hated Melbourne and "now i hope they are happy as they have got what they wanted"

Fans out side the Melb training ground also blaming Sydney's hatred of the the Storm..

You reap what you sow, sorry..i just prey NONE of the players are guilty of backhanders as they have some serious questions to answer to their fans and the ATO.

😱pen_mouth:

Geo, Kul and myself were at Thursday Night Live last night and they actually spoke to Meldrum about the Storm salary cap scandal. Turns out Molly was in Thailand of all places and he deadset sounded trashed…Bill Woods had to cut him off because he was just rambling while the rest of us were shaking our heads and laughing at the nonsense coming out of Meldrum.

Ha. Like a team that has been receiving (And I think, when the magnifying glass puts them in to focus, we will see, KNOWINGLY receiving) match money above their legally declared contracts, will passionately play for each other, and in the "spirit" of the game. If anything they'll be playing for contracts with other clubs next year - for their own survival and financial security in the game.
