Yeah it’d be nice to be even half as successful as they have been (sans cheating obviously.)

66% all-time win rate, can you imagine it, winning 2 out of every 3 games for 21 seasons?

Don't think we have ever had a 16 regular game winning season ....

9-25, more variations of the cheating future immortal but god i hope he sticks it to Penrith.

Someone blowing kisses to Ivan and pointing to the scoreboard after Melb win would be the only way 2020 is salvageable.
 
Well still think they will WIN.
Smith retires
Bellamy gone following year
After that no longer Top 4 - replaced by WT in 2022.

They forgot AlexMckinnon and Jarrod McCracken.

And everyone also forgets danny williams dogshot that got him wiped from the nrl.
 
Biggest thing that sticks out to me (outside of the cheating) is the diamond ring incident.

The ring just stunk soooo badly of Greenburg/NRL bending over for Smith - still annoys me to this day.

All the wrestle points whilst yes don't help the game, if you look at it logically it really is just good competitive coaching. Bellamy and co have always worked out how to win a ruck no matter what change in the rule.

The rest really is just tall poppy syndrome - we hate them because they win so often. Not judging I am one of them.

I just read a good piece on Bellamy and his impact on the Storm through his coaching and character. The last line summed it up perfectly ..... "the Storm don't buy first graders: They make them". So, so true.

Would be good if the club got him in after he retires as coach as a consultant - mainly to give advice on how to shape players - that would appear to be his main strength and something we need.
Maguire has worked with him before at the Storm and obviously has some of that understanding but I'm thinking of getting others who don't - players, coaching staff and executive - at the club up to speed with the technique. Although it is changing, I think we still need to change the dinosaur thinking of some old diehards.
 
That's not 25 reasons it's only about 4:
- cap cheating
- wrestling
- Cameron Smith
- because it's Melbourne

Hopper's wife is from Melbourne, not sure why he has such an unhealthy hatred for the storm.
