We knew it was only a matter of time!

Looks like our first game is in Perth.

Premiers Melbourne will open their title defence against Canterbury in Perth in a double header that also includes a clash between Souths and the New Zealand Warriors."

What a ****^*^ disgrace

Can't believe Billy's 300th game will be in Perth.

[yourhero]

Maybe they should play it at Suncorp?

LOL. And they are... Against the Titans away.

Silly me thinking that the NRL would have half a clue. I should have learned by now!

[Mattpoet]

P***es me off. Surely a champion playing for the defending premiers should get his 300th game at home.

[Storm Spirit]

The NRL management are *lima lima lima duck* clueless halfwits....

[Lucas]

Let's boycott this stupid fixture by sending over the feeder side instead.

What a joke , surely the Storm bosses didn't just let this happen !
Sit Billy out rd1 and play his 300th at home !

Not Titans Round 1. Update below (from Storm website). Would have helped if I read Freeze's post...

Perth Stadium, March 10
South Sydney Rabbitohs v Warriors
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Melbourne Storm

Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland, April 7
Wests Tigers v Melbourne Storm
Warriors v North Queensland Cowboys

Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, May 12
Melbourne Storm v Gold Coast Titans
Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles v Brisbane Broncos

[Mattpoet]

So we're boosting the crowd numbers for quasi-expansionism and Greenberg's old club instead of sharing in a moment with one of the club's favourite sons.

[bula]

Surely Manly v Titans then Storm and Broncos the main event but I guess Storm v Broncos is a marquee game on its own

[sallymay]

Seriously guy if cam didn't have those two weeks off his 350th and 356th would've both been away it was just by luck that it turned out right


Storm had to agree with and I don think it matters in the slightest if we celebrate Billy's 300th or 301st at home Billy will want to play as many game next year as possible and won't care where he does it

Surley with Billy playing in the World cup the clun could rest him from round 1.
