[QUOTE="Renegade, post: 3347539, member: 1928"] I don't believe it is entirely Melbourne's fault, but I don't believe that all other blame can be attributed to the NRL. The community is what you make it. I have no doubt they have community functions, engagements, I know they do cross code promotion... sorta (Smith was at a lot of AFL games but how much of the reverse was there?), but it again, all boils down - why can't they sell themselves as a sport? They can sell themselves as a TV product, or an event, which explains why they get good crowds, but no one really wants to play the game? Is that the NRL's fault, despite all the Storm's success, that ultimately people just don't really give too much of a shit about the game? I absolutely acknowledge they were there for tv dollars first and hoping the game grew organically secondly, but I don't see any issue with calling it out as it stands at the moment. I'm asking you a question that I know you can't answer with any 100% certainty, but if you gave Perth the same investment, the same success, and the same timeframe, do you think they would be doing any worse than the Storm in terms of their development?
