A very big week coming up for us as we shift our focus to the Storm on Friday night. Throughout the past twelve months, we seem to have built up a bit of a rivalry with Melbourne and there seems to be some genuine hatred in this one given everything that happened last year arounf the topic of the wrestle. I know that I've certainly found some genuine hate for the Storm so will be quite pumped up come Friday night!!
It doesn't get any easier for us heading to Melbourne to play the Storm. It's no secret thay are one hell of a side, certainly one of the best sides in the comp. Add to that the fact that they had a poor loss last week (which I don't think bodes well for us as they'll be even more fired up), and the fact that we've never won in Melbourne, and we're really up against it this week.
In saying that, I have full faith that the boys can do it!! We were quite disappointing last week too so will hopefully even more fired up to make amends! Quite excited to see how the boys rebound, as I said over the weekend, I actually don't think we're far away but we do have a lot to work on and the boys will need to lift. Once again, the forward battle is going to be the key and this is the main area we need to make better. I'd say the only forwards who weren't a bit disappointing last week were Murray, Tom and Amone. If we want to compete against a quality Storm pack, we need the likes of Tatola, Knight, Lowe and Su'a to stand up. That will make it a hell of a lot easier for guys like Reyno and Cookie to have a much better game. Hopefully we'll get Jimmy back for this one too, that'd be a big boost!
So yep, big week for us!
