Melbourne Storm - record attempt 10.30am Sat 28th August : Sat Aug 28, 2021 7:01 am
get your Storm on!Melbourne have equalled the 1975 record of the Eastern Suburbs Sydney Roosters of 19 wins on the trot.
They now go for 20 and it's the BIGGEST game in Melbourne's history. If they win they stand alone as the 'champions' of wins on the trot. Sydney wanted to view a Melbourne franchise as a jolly hockey sticks team - they didn't reckon on Craig Bellamy and Frank P.
Melbourne have to do it tough. Sydney no longer likes them.
Melbourne's own newspapers barely acknowledge them. Today in THE AGE paper there isn't a single article in 10 pages of Sport about the tilt at the record.
Amateur Aussie rules get a bigger write-up!! I kid you not. It's DISGUSTING coverage. I'm ashamed to read the newspaper.
So for all the underdogs in the Sporting world, I ask you to cheer home the Storm this morning !!
