As much as the Storm annoy me, that is a great move to set up the connection with Albury. Should provide a boost to League near the 'enemy' and get interest back in places along the border, out to the Riverina.

Gee I hate the scums name, but there is something that amuses me about a team called "Thunder" feeding a team called "Storm."

Bloody stupid names both of them.

How many feeder clubs do the scum need, they seem to have numerous one plus the player swap agreement with the sharks, whats the go

Wide Bay -> lol they would need to get guys to turn up to every game and training.

You know that the SeaGulls didnt even turn up for a semi-final last year because their mate died a few weeks earlier and they all went out drinking in respect of him.

They were undefeated until that point too.

No doubt there is some pretty good talent around the wide bay, but not the commitment

Qld Cup are looking at a settling down next season.
But are open to expansion in 2014/2015.
