Message: [QUOTE="talanoa, post: 2889652, member: 8530"] the storm are privately owned, why would a successful business pump multiple millions a year into a black hole called the under 20's. it is bad business and would only cause further headaches at a higher level. the stom business model should be commended, rather than over inflate ego's of young kids and give false hope to 30 plus kids in each age group per year they have simplified the model which is now working - not to mention their operating costs would be well down as well. would you prefer the storm go broke and have the nrl bail them out? or would you prefer the nrl do their job and spend some cash at a junior level for development? majority of elite sporting kids in vic will choose the path of afl over league or union anyday of the week. i would suggest you spend some time down there to see how wide the gap is to really understand it. the storm have been great for the game, you cannot suggest otherwise! the work the storm have done with the sunny coast has been great. happy to give you a few names of kids told by the broncos to give up who are now nrl contracted that have gone through the sunny coast/storm programme. if you wish to see the nrl end up like the rugby in australia as a now 2nd tir sport then i suggest you continue down this path.
