Storm have had their titles removed & get no points this season eek!!
Do they have the right of appeal?

None - and they deserve everything they get.
My only concern with the no points ruling is that individual player bans have no 'bite' and this could be a real problem. In the game against the Warriors several Storm players attacked Michael Luck (notably a deliberate elbow and an off-the-ball attack from behind) - the kind of thing that I hadn't really seen for over 15 years. I have a feeling that this kind of thing could continue for the rest of the season.

Not the best weay to expand the game.

24K turned up to the first game after the sanctions. I think it's actually going to strengthen the support - it a perfect way to utilise the "us and them" mentality between Melbourne and Sydney that often is encapsulated in the AFL/NRL debate. If people from Melbourne see the Storm as 'enemies' of the NRL rather than 'enemy agents' of the NRL (bringing in the foreign) then it will actually be an unintended benefit.
