Good on you Haynsey! Dead right!
Actually his point about Brett Finch comments re salary cap brings awareness and knowing of their salary cap being beyond tight, and regards the small amount he was paid by storm is something I wasn't aware of... Brett was.
Tbh I find it irritating that 2009 premiership is always included in Storms winning portfolio too.
Besides all the dodgy salary cap stuff, I recall listening to Cronk, On The Couch, where he said they concentrated heavily all week prior on just coming up with a plan to stop Hayne. Was a great show actually.
Anyway, not your fault at all Jarryd buddy! Gave us much joy watching him play and what a year it was :)
Not sure if I can paste it all here, so here's the link ...

Definitely Eels were robbed in 2009 and Hayne was correct 💯 %
His not wrong. Our time and luck will change at one point. Our time will come
Yep!
"One team didn't lose. They were cheated - this a factual statement. Nice post Macy, the Melbourne Storm have a history of salary cap scandals and major breaches - but the media like to remind us how great Cameron Smith cronk , slater and Inglis were as players they cheated its that simple.
If I had it my way, the storm would have been relocated to Perth - franchise naturally would be named the Western Storm must admit say it has a nice ring to it.
Yeah they do.
surprised to hear Finch was our highest paid player then he goes down there and earns $50K! Dodgy brother extraordinaire.
Eels the last legitimate team standing that year. 09 title they'll always have a claim to it
