Heres a reason not to support Rabbitohs coming west

Must be a pretty mean one then.

There is no game more resilient than NRL. The Storm may not do as well. The Rebels ex-CEO might have unintentionally won them a great big free kick at the Storm's expense.

I can't find a positive anywhere here and I fervently hope it doesn't happen. I feel really sorry for the supporters. Probably only Newtown, Western Reds, Adelaide Rams and South Sydney supporters will know how bad that feels.

Well the Storm was "Western Reds + Glen Lazarus" anyway

The leg-up that the Rebels will get is the only conceivable positive out of it - and only if you're a rugby supporter of course.

Yep, I suppose. The only other I can think of is IF they fold them - and it'll be the Murdochs' call - they could undo the mistake they made relocating the Reds. But I'd rather they survive and thrive. For the sake of the supporters.

I don't think News Ltd will let the Storm go under and, even on the off chance they do, another team will rise to take its place very quickly.

How many of you copped it at work today?

Can't believe how many numb nutted gayfl fans there are who don't know there are two codes to this game.

[normie]

I can. On the train home from the game one night I was asked "Is Western Force the old Western Reds" Another time: "Did youse guys play Perth Glory?" .....

Normie, that's when you just politely smile and smack them in the head

Not worth a new thread, but interesting from "The Del" from his latest webchat on the Fox site:

1445: Ken Thorley says: thought you were great in both codes, but I always thought you were wasted in union on the wing; you would have made a great loose forward in the style of Rocky Elsom. Did you ever consider a move to the forwards, or at least to the centres?

Wendell Sailor says: I didn’t because my physique was made to play on the wing – I am more of a runner. My fitness base wasn’t one that went up and down and off the deck. I tell you what: the forwards don’t get paid enough. I couldn’t do what they do. I spent 10 to 15 minutes in the forwards in the Indigenous game and my lungs nearly fell out and my legs were gone.

Not worth a new thread

Anything that puts forwards on a pedestal is worthy of a new thread.

Del worships at the altar of Fatty Gods

Del is a dead set hero/legend of the game. If you ask him he'll tell you anyway but I'll get in first on his behalf.

I got my tickets yesterday.
