Haven't the Storm won first round in something like around a thousand years? I can't see a win first up. Our draw this season is a beauty though all things considered.


16 years in a row Storm have won their first game of the season.

Think parra broke that last year

16 is close to a thousand right? Would be nice to grab a sneaky win and watch Bellyache pop a fuse.

We seem to be half decent at screwing up storm milestones. Didn't we knock them off in slaters 300? Or 200? Just check with our resident expert @GNR4LIFE

Is the woman-beater on the no fault stand-down policy or whatever it is called?

Yeah think so.

Yep. And Bellamy's 400th or something as well from memory.
 
Packer plays the ball to Godinet, Godinet passes it to Matulino, Matulino taking the tackle with a late offload to Brooks, Brooksy dives on it and goes in to score the match winner !!! FT 10-8

I wouldn’t call us Melbourne’s bogey side but we definitely have a better record against them than we should. We seem to push them quite often as well. Considering they haven’t lost many for the last ten years and we haven’t made the finals I’m sure they would expect a better record against us than they have

They have 3 class players out and we should be competitive. It'll be interesting how Coates goes for them. Do they miss JAC or not ?

Weve seen a couple of times last season that Coates is as quick as JAC..about 10 cms taller..and arguably more athletic.
Absolutely next superstar..
And hes moved to Storm for less $$ than Broncos offered according to papertalk.
Gotta admire that

*I wouldn’t call us Melbourne’s bogey side but we definitely have a better record against them than we should*
That's because Storm play awesome against organized sides, since we're a shambles, it confuses them.
The jungle will reign again, some day.😸
 
Beating them in Rd 1 or losing to them in Rd 1 won't tell us a lot about our year. The issue with us has always been consistency. Gotta stop thinking that it's the first game of the year. It's just one of the many that we need to play at 100%

Leave nothing in the tank in the pre-season and in every game.

Yep. And Bellamy's 400th or something as well from memory.

In 2018, Slater played his 300th game for Storm in round two, while Bellamy reached the 400-game milestone as coach in round five. Both matches, against Wests Tigers, ended in narrow defeats.

Both great days. Any win against the maggots is great. The ones in 2010 I think it was at LO when Benji ran riot and the night game in the rain at LO a few years after that were up there with the best.

As much as we’re relishing playing them depleted, they would be breathing a sigh of relief that they drew us

Any other team, yes, but we are a bit of a bogey side for them. God knows why.
Not saying we will win, just wishing.

Are we? Last time we played them they put nearly 70 on us. I can’t remember the last time we beat them.

Year before we got smoked by 40 by them aswell, no way we are a bogey team for them

We have an above average record against Storm, we win about 35% against them, there are about 5 clubs above us. The Bulldogs have the best record of current clubs at 49%. Balmain has the best record at 50%, and Magpies unfortunately have a 0% record
