Melbourne Storm CRL Thread

[UndertakerMike]

Storm Host the Tigers in the 3rd Final.

The last meeting was also at home where a fired up Tigers just fell short:

Melbourne vs Wests Tigers +4.5  Wests Tigers use fire 'em up token  Melbourne 30 (Orford 3,Slater,S.Bell tries;C.Smith 5 goals) DEFEATED  Wests Tigers 24 (Marshall 2,B.Harris,Stevens,Hodgson tries;Hodgson 2 goals)  PLAYER POINTS 3 - Rauhihi 2 - B.Harris 1 - Stevens  COACHES POINT TO: Melbourne

The Storm Coaching staff are currently reviewing this game and other recent Tigers performances to elvaluate game strategies.

 

[UndertakerMike]

The Storm GP has been sent and we are really confident of adding to our 6-1 record in the finals.
In our last meeting Marshall bagged a couple.... So we have directed extra attention to facilitate a better effort there. Stevens also played a blinder so the Front Row are really hyped up to give him some of his own medicine. (extra tape has been purchased.)
:sch:

BTW:
The CRL expansion is Now Official.
The Storms full time CRL management intends to undertake an extensive recruitment program for the Brizze Norths side.

[UndertakerMike]

The Storm management wish to congratulate UndertakerMike on his full time coaching effort and relutantly allow him to pursue several other projects that have been in planning for some time.
It is agreed that UndertakerMike will continue as head coach (in a 3/4 capacity) in the exciting expansion of CRL and with any luck succeed in mentoring likely successors to ensure the strong future of this proud club.
The Storm have tried to achieve success quietly and in a non-conforting way. This strategy will cease as of now and an agressive military campain will now be hte current active approach.

Just like the finals, eh Mike? ;-)

A big thanks for the efforts with the brisbane Norths squad. I've made a few points changes, please take note.

IN the meantime - have a great Christmas!

Yep have a great Chrissie Misty.


I'll now search for these changes.

 

[UndertakerMike]

The Storm have had a great Chrissie At the Sunshine coast where we had a meeting with Leigh Mathews and a lesson on how to barge you way through a crowd and retrive you luggage.

And a Chance meeting with a couple of real Stormers.


Now for the New year....... whoever survives that will be in great shape for the new CRL season.
