WOW, that's some victory. To put that in perspective, it'd be close to the 2007 AFL GF result, if not more spectacular.

Wow, what an unexpected flogging!
My Leeds mate will be spewing, he had $100 on the Rhinos at $3.40 but backed it up on the Storm!

Manly - damn them *shakes fist furiously*

The Brisbane of the NRL - except people still remember Fitzroy

Except Fitzroy were more successful

FC - there is an article on North Sydney in the October Inside Sport. Haven't read it yet, but think part of it is about hoping they can get back in the NRL.
