Screw Tigers cannot stand them.
For me, i guess i don't mind Cronulla.
If i had to pick out of the top 3 (Melbourne, Sydney City and Penrith) I would rather Melbourne win it.
All my cousins from one side were Cronulla supporters and they are also a back up for me 👍💙
There are teams i tolerate and like more than others. Many will cringe at this but i have always had a spot for the Roosters, maybe due to my love of Fittler when i was kid.
Cowboys also, Dolphins no issues. Clubs that don't cause much news of late really. Also their coaches, i usually like the team if i like their coach.
Why would you want Melbourne to win anything?. We are 0/7 against them in the finals so that is seven times Melbourne have either stopped us winning a premiership or ended our season. If you want to point at one of the reasons why we have a 38-year drought then you can sum it up in one word, Melbourne.
Storm told to go north
By Dean Ritchie
May 13, 2004
PARRAMATTA chief executive Denis Fitzgerald has ensured a fiery confrontation between his club and Melbourne this weekend by declaring last night the Storm should be closed down and relocated to the Gold Coast.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy lays down the law.
The always outspoken Fitzgerald believes the NRL should shift Melbourne for the start of next season.
"Promoting rugby league in Melbourne is akin to promoting beach volleyball in Iceland," Fitzgerald said.
Fitzgerald's comments drew immediate criticism from Melbourne's interim chief executive Frank Stanton.
The NRL is considering adding a 16th team to the competition in 2006 but the game's chief executive David Gallop said there were no plans for Melbourne to be moved.
Fitzgerald, chairman of the NRL club council and a 25-year rugby league administrator, said Melbourne's owner News Limited was "wasting its money" on the Storm.
"The Melbourne Storm are doing nothing for rugby league in Victoria," Fitzgerald told The Daily Telegraph.
"Rugby league is up against a religion in Victoria. If rugby league can't kick on after the Storm won a premiership in 1999 then it never will.
"Imagine if the Sydney Swans won the AFL in their second year? How big would that be?"
Fitzgerald said he preferred Gold Coast over the two other candidates for inclusion – Wellington and the Central Coast.
"It should be the Gold Coast," Fitzgerald said. "The area up there is crying out for a team. Melbourne's owner, News Limited, is pouring millions of dollars into the Storm every year for no result. News Limited would be better devoting that money to an area where rugby league is No. 1."
Stanton hit back last night, saying: "Denis is entitled to his opinion but the facts are Melbourne is here and here to stay for quite a while yet."
Parramatta and Melbourne are now sure to meet in a spicy contest this Sunday from 3pm at Parramatta Stadium.
"There are thousands of kids on the Gold Coast who should have a career path into their own NRL team," Fitzgerald said.
"If the Gold Coast doesn't have a side in the near future then I'm sure the AFL will quickly be setting up a new club."
Stanton said his club should be supported by the Sydney rugby league community – not rejected.
"If the AFL had adopted the same attitude, the Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions wouldn't have been such successful franchises," he said. "Instead of knocking Melbourne, people in rugby league should start supporting the club."
Gallop said the Storm was working toward improving their crowd figures. "The Storm are genuine title contenders this season," he said.
"They would be the first to acknowledge there is room for improvement in their crowds and they are working hard on that.
"Melbourne is a hard nut to crack but there is a firm commitment to the Storm and they are an important part of our competition."

Yep the story goes, after fitgerald made these comments they used them to fire up their players every time they played us.
Loved Fitzy taking shots at Melbourne , but it was all promotion. Deep down he was actually very pro Melbourne Storm. I even think on his regular 2GB slot he used to have , he once said he's actually a member of their club lol.
For all his bad he ended up doing to our club, he was once a very very powerful person amongst the NRL . Even Politis listened to him . Fitzy was the chairman of the NRL clubs association, so he was literally the most influential clubs boss in the game . Nobody fucked with us until Fitzy fucked with us.
Legitimate powerbroker , not too many people have Ray Hadley in their pockets.
you said screw tigers like they are in the finals ahah
yeah same. there arent many real melbourne fans so you never have to hear them gloat. Its as if no one won the comp when melbourne win it.
Jus had a look at the top 8 hate them all equally apart from Dolphins and cowboys - if there's 1 team that can shake the comp it's the cows if they get right.
I'm going to be a Penref supporter for the rest of the year.
At least it might stop them from winning another title 😂😂
