Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Can probably take something out of that. Effort was there - handling was just off and defence was a bit sloppy. I think the late shuffling of the edges (including Smith going off) really made things difficult. Halves were pretty bad. Passing was off. I think Wishart’s very good but he’s more of a ru...

Re: RD 3 vs Knights
Too many players running sideways. Run straight. Forward.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
Credit has to be given to Loiero too.
Led the pack with 155 metres. Had a heavy involvement and played 70 minutes in the middle.
He would’ve taken an extra workload after Welch was ruled out with a concussion after just managing 11 minutes.

Re: Round 2 - Storm vs Warriors @ AAMI Park
That was unbelievable. The guys has absolutely no business winning that. Although they’ve had their ups and downs this win really shows why Bellamy has instilled so much confidence in Coates and Papenhuyzen. They’re match-winners. Where do we rank that in the club’s comeback wins with seconds to go?...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
I think something which has also been understated in this performance was the post contact metres. Didn’t do too well in that category last year but to have 646 metres (which was the most over the weekend) and considering the strength of opposition with all that defence which had to be done - that’s...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
Interesting points from the coach in the post-match: - Bellamy was really unhappy with the handling (almost seemed a bit miffed despite the win). - Impressed with Pezet. Noted he’s intelligent but wanted him to work on his defence in the off-season. Was pleased with his efforts. - Unsure if Munster ...

Re: Round 1 vs Panthers @ AAMI Park
That was such a Storm win. Just gritty, committed and brutal.
So impressed.

Re: Trials 2024
Hughes looks good. Very good.
Really sleek holding up his passes and putting guys into gaps.

Re: Trials 2024
Not sure who’s watching but the Storm are up 12-0. A lot of the starters were pulled just before the 20-minute mark and the replacements put on a really nice try to Coates soon afterwards. Few observations: - Hughes and Katoa combined for a beauty. That combination looked good late last season and c...

Re: Official thread and signing news
In days gone, we had our superstar spine, a strong but underrated pack, a number of young guns pushing for first grade and supplemented by a couple of journey men / outcasts. In light of what Penrith have done I wonder how Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and the Club as a whole will view their collecti...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium
Pretty bad way to end the year but about halfway through the season I thought the Storm were little chance of making the top four let alone the prelim. I think the club badly needs to invest in a strike centre and another prop. The pack simply isn’t good enough - they’re hard working but they lack i...

Re: Preliminary Final vs Panthers @ Accor Stadium
Amazing amount of publicity calling our pack "Soft" or "Pop Gun" and weak. You would have to expect some sort of response from this or careers are over Bellamy would be absolutely loving this. For anyone who’s read Storm Cloud, he would definitely be using this to motivate his f...
