Melbourne Storm

Featured Replies

At NRL last night. Running rings around the AFL as a production.

Night Game is fantastic.

Pluses 2-3 minute warm up and the game starts

Only storm has vic outdated concept of a run through with 30- 40 cheer squad mmembers on ground getting a moment on the ground.

Let the players take the stage

The NRL GF outrated the AFL GF by around 10% 4.46M to 4.18M.

Definitely a message there to the AFL.

The NRLW GF had 1M viewers compared to last years AFLW GF with 354k

Yes but a ‘good’ crowd during the season is generally no more than 35,000.. hardly cause for angst amongst the heaviest at AFL house

Reese Walsh who should certainly have been sin-binned for 10 minutes, played probably the greatest individual grand final performance of all time, and Storm couldn’t contain him.

He was the difference

He was everywhere Walsh scoring tries, setting up tries and making big tackles.

Attendances aren't important for TV money which is where it's all at.

NRL are about to re-negotiate their media rights deal. My guess is that for the first time they will equal if not exceed the AFL deal.

AFL is asleep at the wheel. NRL is slowly changing from crash and bump to a running game with powerful hits which the crowd loves. a lot of USA hype crowd engagement too.

 

I don’t follow the NRL but my inlaws and boss are big Storm fans.

I tuned in out of interest and it’s a bloody wild spectacle.

My favourite parts of the NRL based on one game;

1. the umpires are allowed to do their thing and can adjudicate without a million players in their face every single play.

  1. The sin bin

  2. They are very authentic, no trying to be blue-blooded scholars

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
