Kinda crazy to think the only time I've seen us beat Storm in person was either the last or second to last win we had against them (forgot if it was the 2013 or 2015 game I was at).
That was sooooo long ago
EDIT : just read 2015 was the Friend flip which I definitely wasn't at, so must've been 2013. 12 years damn

We have had some great try-scoring moments against the Storm that have led to us getting over them at a crucial stage.
The Shaun Johnson show and go in the semi-final.
Nathan Friend's backflip. I'm pretty sure if you put that guy on a trampoline he'd probably wouldn't have pulled that off.
One that is often forgotten is from 2006. We won late and ended a long undefeated streak they had at Olympic park.

TBT: Webby's 2006 match winner
Winding back to 2006 and the stunning long-range try the Vodafone Warriors scored to shock the Melbourne Storm.

- Round 24 – Melbourne's winning streak is ended at 11 by the New Zealand Warriors in a shock 24-20 defeat at Olympic Park. Two tries to Brent Webb, including a controversial late try, was the difference as the Warriors took home the Michael Moore Trophy, their first win at Olympic Park since 2002.

2006 the precursor for what's to come in 2008 lol
That's a play I'd like to see more this year, seem to work well for us especially with speedsters like Leka

The first thing this week is our defence. We are unlikely to win if they score in quick bursts like against Manly. Even if we score a lot of points, it's likely the Storm will go with us.
Even with a loss if we restrict them and defend well overall for 80 minutes it will be something to build our season off.
Now on our attack. The fact we have new halves and working things out compared to our structures from the last few years good be a bit of a blessing. We used to do well against the Storm as we didn't play like a lot of the other sides. We would play with a bit less structure and it would throw them off. At the moment we are setting up for plays but also scoring from eyes up football and on both sides of the field.
The 2011 Semi Final we would also get in the grind to the point where the Storm were the ones wanting to kick the ball out. This side has looked good grinding sides down.
After a week off I'm looking forward to seeing how we go with the step-up in competition.

1. 2008 Witt try
2. 2015 beating the Storm with SJ at the peak of his powers. I think this game and season get overshadowed by the Friend backflip and the subsequent 9 game losing streak that happened after SJ gets injured vs Manly. But I've always thought the way he stepped both Cam Smith and Cam Munster was epic.
3. This weekend's game. Because I'm flying over to it, and we are going to break the streak

Cam Smith one of the defensive all time goats left standing like a statue, fends off the cover coming across then the swerve he put on Munster who i dont even think got a hand to him......all in the space of about 10 metres......eat your heart out Reecey boy!
I'm going to call upset this weekend, and at $5.60 I'm punting $100 on the boys.
I don't know why, but I can't help but feel that with no table pressure, we will go out there and play hard knowing the result doesn't really matter as much.
Sunday arvo footy always a good feeling.

Do you mean you're making the trip specifically for the Wahs?! Bro that's pretty awesome. Fuck I hope we beat them for ya!
Awesome to travel that far to get there
Do you get tv coverage up there in any form.??
I thought I was a fan when I flew home from oz in 95 to see the first game v. Broncos but you are a true fan

watchnrl is the app that streams games exclusively for those of us outside of Australasia. It's the fox coverage which is generally preferable over sky sports. Unfortunately the games are like 3am in the morning for me, so I'm always waking up my neighbours. I was causing quite the ruckus last week when Leka scored that try.Awesome to travel that far to get there
