Half my son’s footy team are storm supporters, none of them are from Melbourne (I’m talking the dad’s too)

That's the exact point - would any of them be supporters if not for the fact that they are winning the comp every 2-3 years? Of course not. The fact that they had / have some Queensland heavy hitters is just a pitiful excuse. Lazy bandwagoners want to support a winner, and they'll use any excuse to justify any tenuous link they can manufacture. The NRL know this, which is why they prop up teams like the Storm and Titans because of essentially strategic / political reasons (ie, they want to be seen as having a foothold in those areas despite it not being justified via genuine fan/community interest).

Agree. They’re despicable human beings. Worst of society.

I don't know if you're talking about bandwagoners, or the NRL powerbrokers, but whichever it is I agree, even if you're not being super serious.

Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.

I wondered what happened.

Surely Turbo brings you joy.
