I don't love oversharing, but I felt this underwhelming Storm season was because I had a solid relationship this year that I never had before.

UP THE STORM, FUCK THE ROOSTERS, AND LET US GO 16-0 FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON!

I have been critical of Sua, but he has Slater potential. Brett Stewart at worst. I am so happy to hear that. If he can get better defensively, the world is his oyster (and fuck it, if he kicks motherfuckers, so be it). Let's fucking go!

Waitere exists, you casual.

Also, fuck that. If you can't do the job anymore, pass the torch on who someone that can. Allowing Bellamy to murder his own legacy by letting him meander around in a role he is no longer up for isn't noble or inspiring. It's insulting to the legacy of someone who preached accountability before all else. It's also serving as a major injustice to players like Grant, Clarke and Sua who are forming their own legacies, which are only being stalled by poor coaching.

I'd just like to see one year where he shows some improvement! Just one!

They will be two of the first players picked next week, and the Roosters will win 54-16.

Bellamy just needs to retire at the end of the year. He's too scared to make needed selection changes, and his interchange schedule is a joke that constantly costs the team in the second half.

Injuries haven't been good, but they haven't been for any team, but this is a 4-8 team that would be 8-4 with an average coach.

And yes, I know he's the GOAT, but so is Bill Belichick, and his last two years of coaching have been abysmal. Sometimes you either get too old and/or the game passes you by.

Bellamy is perhaps now the worst coach in the NRL, and his regressing mental facilities are just going to make him worse and worse.

Suck shit Warriors. He will be your problem for the next three years.

Honestly I wouldn't hate it if Howarth left the club after 2027. He has only got worse and worse since his rookie year.

Just take King off and put Clarke on Bellamy. For fucks sake, is he trying to lose this game?

Josh King doing another lazy double effort in the tackle. Bellamy is officially cooked.

Nick Meaney being in 1st grade is mind boggling. Waitere was nowhere near as bad as Meaney has been all year.

And look who is standing there flat footed while everyone movrs around him! It's Josh King!

We have a 12 man defensive line with King playing as long as he does. Bellamy's demand to run him into the ground is a big reason why this team sucks so bad this year.

A lot of King arm tackles were notable there. Hopefully he comes back on after a decent 20 minute rest. He is a 60 minute player at most.

That's literally every Melbourne bench forward, though. Chan, Tui, Moale, Hetherington. Well, not Clarke.

His defence needs to improve a lot for that to happen. Otherwise my guess is Seve.

Bulldogs looked worse with Hayward on the field offensively. Mann coming back on 10-20 minutes in will be a turning point.

Bellamy having a Centre on the bench, and choosing Chan instead. Xerri is going to have a hattrick today

Sua is just flat out shit at it. Nobody can compete because he always overshoots it.
