Storm vs Cowboys
OK, I'm a union fan, so why am I reviewing a league game? Well the Cowboys are from Queensland and its not AFL. The game was average, the Cowboys were less than average... so what is left?

Ahh the half arsed experience of watching league in Melbourne (when your team loses).

1. The Storm mascot "Storm Man": Runs a round a lot, has a scooter (how half arsed), borrowed a cowbell from a fan and promptly broke the drum stick.

2. The Stadium: There is more leg room on a Virgin Blue flight and most food is sold from caravans (think country show). Grounds with an athletics track around the outside are crap!

3. The fans: Old guy who just grunted a lot - not sure why, or who he supported. Storm fan who liked to comment on every play and show he knew every players name, "go Cameron", "oh great 'D' Matty". The Cowboys fan who got the shits with the Storm Fan, told him he was "talking shit"... something you dont do when your team is losing 18-0!!

I decided at half time that I would support the cheerleaders in the second half, and I came away a winner!
