Nearing the business end of the season, the Melbourne Storm are well clear on the Australian Rugby League (ARL) ladder, which must be disappointing to many people from the states north of here (NSW & QLD) where the game is most popular. I was at the Storm’s game against the Warriors last night. It was the first game I had seen live in Melbourne, and it was a different experience than the Aussie Rules games I have been watching lately. This game had an international flavour as the opposition were from NZ, something that never happens in Aussie Rules. There was also a great atmosphere, with dancing girls, fireworks and music. Combined with a vocal crowd and a smaller field it seemed like we were right in amongst the action. Although the Storm were beaten, it was a very entertaining evening, and I think that any Victorians who find it hard to see what all the fuss is about with Rugby League should go along and watch a game live.
