Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3419544, member: 8215"] My spidey sense is tingling. It just seems to me like the NRL has left the Broncos alone (temporarily) in the Shafted stakes, and has heavily turned on the Storm. They have never been reffed like this. Ever. Their bullshit on-field antics normally get rewarded by the refs, they don't get the calls against them that they have been recently, and they definitely don't end up losing their shit defensively (and mentally). The only viable conspiracy I can think of is that they have decided that it's going to be easier to convert Storm fans to Dolphin fans. I mean, 90% of Storm fans don't even live in Victoria, most are up here in SEQ, and they only reason anyone with a tentative link to [I]something[/I] from Melbourne supports them is because they are propped up at the top of the table. Without a genuine geographical or emotional tie to Melbourne or the club, if the Storm turn to shit for even half a season they'll see their support dwindle dramatically. I personally can't wait to see that happen, but I suspect the NRL would be even happier to direct their attention to the shiny new team from, um, nowhere. [/QUOTE]
