Melbourne Storm will, over a two-day period starting tomorrow, begin the bold plan of visiting more than 8,000 school children in 61 schools as part of its efforts to promote rugby league and a healthy lifestyle in Victorian schools.

High profile players such as Dally M Medallist Cameron Smith, Dally M Halfback of the Year Cooper Cronk, Queensland State-of-Origin representatives Michael Crocker, Dallas Johnson and Billy Slater, New South Wales and Australian representative Matt King, and New Zealand international Adam Blair, will talk at school assemblies highlighting the benefits of playing sport and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Storm Development State Manager Luke Ellis believes the schools blitz will encourage children to lead healthy lifestyles through interaction with professional athletes.

“Due to their busy training schedules, it’s difficult for players to fulfill all requests they receive each year from schools,” said Ellis.

“The ‘Storm Front’ Schools Blitz allows us to promote healthy lifestyles and to spread the Rugby League message, while taking our players out into the community at the same time.

“Melbourne Storm is committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and physical activity throughout the schools of Melbourne. There is no better way to encourage sports participation and healthy eating than to have a professional athlete present the message first hand.”

Now all we need is for them to get their act together and send our memberships out. I've been waiting weeks for mine to arrive.

Yeah, that is poor Tugga. Let us know when you get them. I know the Melbourne Storm value members but they need to do better then that.
Mate, they've 'promised' they will be sent out by the end of Feb, but I want to go to the trial game next saturday against the Broncos and our membership gets us in for free. If no little purple card arrives in the post by then, I'm not going and paying.

And rightly so. Where is the trial at?

They're saying memberships won't be sent out until March 9 now. :(
They are going to send tickets to the trial game in the post this week to all members.
The game is at Princes Park next Saturday, but i realised I'm playing cricket so I won't be able to go after all.
If anyone wants to go, PM me and I'll send you the tickets. They are sending two tickets per member.

Gee that is poor. The members are the most important fans at a club and to leave them hanging is disappointing. I know the Storm value their members but they've let them down here.

At least you guys have memberships though. Us Penrith supporters only have season tickets available and with me still playing and 2 hours from Penrith it makes it hard. Fair enough we are running well financially but memberships ould be good for the fans.
