BTW Sam, I'm curious. What made you follow the Storm? A 20 something yeah old Sydneysider into league would normally have had a team already by 1998. Did you suddenly start following league (a late bloomer) or did you switch from Norths?
I actually used to support the Doggies but then Super League happened and I became disillusioned with the Doggies for turning their backs on the regular comp. Then when the NRL comp started, and the Dragons were playing the Storm in the 99 finals, everyone around me was going for the Dragons (being Sydney and all) so I decided to go for the underdogs. Been a supporter since.
