Team List NZ Warriors v Melbourne Storm - [Round 6, 2026]

[wizard of Tauranga]

To all those using stats for and against Boyd, Metcalf, etc.

We need to play Hansen. Statistically the team wins 100% of the games when he plays… and he scores a try every single game as well

Nah, someone has led you astray. The Storm lost 4 in a row in 2022 then broke the drought against usView attachment 16732

Its sad i forgot about that and only remembered the 70-10 game from 22.

i was like that cant be right they flogged us in 22

A little omen for you all. The last time the Storm lost 4 in a row was against us in 2015 and Webby was the assistant coach.

I remember being at that game and Friends pass through his legs. I just saw the reply on sky and saw Webby as the assistant coach and Richie Barnett saying it 4 losses in a row to Cronk lol. I know this it outside this thread but here is the 2015 team.

Vodafone Warriors | Sam Tomkins; Tuimoala Lolohea, David Fusitu’a, Solomone Kata, Jonathan Wright; Chad Townsend, Shaun Johnson; Albert Vete, Nathan Friend, Ben Matulino; Bodene Thompson, Raymond Faitala-Mariner; Simon Mannering (c). Interchange: Jacob Lillyman, Siliva Havili, Charlie Gubb, Sione Lousi.

And then we went on a 8 game losing streak

Thats when SJ got injured. We were top 4 and the team fell apart.

On socials some fan account posted last time we beat Melbourne in Melbourne back in 2014 - the moon phase was the same as it will be for saturdays game. First time thats happened. Sounds legit

 

[WAH MAN]

History and the last two weeks says we are in for a flogging.

I say that can get fudged. Turn up with the right attitude and destroy them please. Please please

Not sure if this will make it better or worse for you:
It was 10-16 at Half Time. We'd lost DWZ to injury but still looked in it, pretty much.
Then bloody corrupt ref bastard blows the whistle to start the Second Half.
10-16 becomes 10-70....

Need to score first points and second points and...Defence must keep the Storm out, frustrate them.

He is a first class poster with dubious choices for goal kickers but that's a lot to put on Defence

 

[Dannevegas]

Watching Pasikala this year he is the most physically dominant back we have in cup or flegg. Hard to put down. Makes good metres. And is smashing people in defence. He is a strong kid. Norris has it all! Strengh , Pace , Vision and can tackle.
Do either of them have a chance to debut this year? Motu is 20, Brandon around 19/20? Or are we to conservative and not willing to risk these young guns?

If Norris was at another club I’d say he’d debut this year.

I had a laugh watching Staggs goal kick on the weekend.

 

[CWC]

Maybe we should just like ask for a Ceasefire

Wouldn't be surpised if there's something to it, who are we to scoff at the celestial signs.

I reckon we will send them back to the stone ages on Saturday night with a 50 point ambush

I'll take anything at this point

 

[CWC]

I'm just hoping our PD stays above water after the weekend

 

[CWC]

I reckon we will send them back to the stone ages on Saturday night with a 50 point ambush

I just emailed Melbourne Storm our 10-point demand

- Xavier Coates to apologize for the 2024 dive
- Immediate prisoner exchange of Will Warbrick and Rocco Berry
- Jerome Hughes to stop diving
- Club owner to apologize for beating us for a decade in a row
- NRL refs for cheating for the Storm against us
- Bellamy to resign as coach
- Harry Grant to guarantee not throwing the ball at markers
- Munster stop being awesome
- The Storm announcer to say up the wahs
- Concede defeat of 50 points before kick off

That is a ridiculous long losing streak. Embarrassing to be honest. Most people would use this stat as motivation to get the job done but I doubt we can do it. Tohu Harris was still with them.

Egan definitely looked like he was in injury rehab with metcalf on the sports news just now
