Not a great time to be playing the Storm in Melbourne... :smirk:

They aren’t the side they used to be though this year. Their attack hasn’t clicked yet at all... But it’s still a very scary proposition having to play the Storm in Melbourne coming off two straight losses that’s for sure. Huge test.

We play like we did against the broncos, and bring that confidence into this game we win.

The storm are lacking confidence, like the broncos, their halves aren’t firing. But the storm pack and backs are better than ours.

If we bring the same enthusiasm and line speed in defence I think it'll be a tight game but can't see us winning this one in Melbourne.

We've beaten better storm teams in Melbourne with worse teams of our own on paper. Won't mean much on game day, but I do think the Storm are vulnerable right now. Croft shat the bed so hard over the weekend, he was Paul Carige-esque.

I don’t think we can defend Sione next to Lamb.
Lucky on the weekend the donkeys can’t attack for shit.
Melbourne is one team that would expect exploit our right edge.
I have never seen a player that catches thin air as much as Sione does.
Can't the mods stop this obvious troll from posting in the knights section?

need to get up and in their face, bully and harass. The confidence within the team if they win this will skyrocket.

Hopefully we build on what our defensive line did on the weekend. We can't go back to the soft, slow approsch we took into our last 2 away games.

There's no doubt the Lamb/Sione side is going to be attacked relentlessly and surely Brown has a strategy to limit the damage out there.
