The pre-season challenge is done and dusted and so too is the long, arduous pre-season training, where this new Storm group have been building a base, hardening themselves for the 2026 Season and their Premiership campaign. Stormy Daniel touches on the second pre-season hit out against the Titans and despite the lopsided scoreline, Stormy Daniel reads very little into Melbourne's showing in the pre-season challenge, as history shows that all effort, emphasis and focus is on preparing for a hard and

Stormy Daniel speaks to the Storm's first pre-season challenge fixture which saw a cast of thousands take the field, many of Melbourne's pathway players from last year's Premiership winning Jersey Flegg team and a handful of second tier recruits who will make up the bulk of the Storm's inaugral Knock-On Effect NSW Cup team.

On this week's episode, Stormy Daniel covers off on the unexpected, yet amazing news of Head Coach Craig Bellamy recommitting to the club, not for just another season, but until at least the end of 2028. A sure sign Bellyache is hungrier and more determined than ever to achieve success with the new emerging group of Melbourne Storm players, putting to bed media innuendo that 2026 would be Bellsa's last year before hanging up the clipboard. Not the case. Stormy Daniel will dissect the first Team list

2025 Season Review - This was a tough carry

2026/01/22

A podcast episode that was a long time in the making. Addressing the hurt had to be done. Stormy Daniel reviews Season 2025 and reflects on the heartache of losing what is now back-to-back Grand Finals. Whilst it was somewhat cathartic, the disappointment remains. But as Coach Craig Bellamy says "Grand Finals are hard to make. They're even harder to win" meaning that whilst the team fell short of collecting the ultimate prize, all in all, it was a successful season. Storm fans need to acknowledge

And just like that, Stormy Daniel is back for 2026. Stormcast Podcast returns for its fourth season - and begins by covering off on all the big off-season headlines, news and stories; answering listener questions, specifically around player movement, none bigger than the sudden and untimely departures of Ryan Papenhuyzen and Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Storm's surprising pursuit of wayward Origin and Test star in Zac Lomax.

11th Grand Final in 20 seasons. 12th Grand Final appearance in 28 seasons, since Melbourne's inception into the NRL. Craig Bellamy, the man at the helm of this sustained success, who has made 22 out of 23 finals series since being appointed as Head Coach, will coach the Storm to both his and the club's 11th Grand Final appearance in 23 seasons. That's on average a staggering Grand Final appearance every 2 years. As the man himself often has said and reiterated it post game "Grand Finals are hard to

This is it. It all comes down to this. 80 minutes. No more tomorrow's. The time is now. Melbourne head into the preliminary final against a foe, a rival, they know all too well, 2016 Grand Final combatants in the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, who are the form team of the NRL, winning 8 from their last 9 games, including their Week 1 and Week 2 Finals matches. The Sharks do not fear AAMI Park, not do they feat the Storm, having recently tasted success in Melbourne last season. 1 win a piece for both

How does one measure success? Premierships right? Yes, but not its not the only metric. The ability to play finals, finish in the Top 4 and qualify for preliminary finals, which effectively positions a club with a chance of making a Grand Final should not be dismissed. If a sporting organisation in any professional code, in either hemisphere was to make finals 22 seasons out of 23, qualify for 10 preliminary finals in 11 years, 18 in total in the entire 27 year history, including 11 Grand Finals,

Storm fans must feel like they're watching a car crash in slow motion unfold in front of their very eyes with Melbourne's recent fortnight, where form and performance has looked anything but a team who finished in the Top 2 and whom for 27 weeks have been premiership favourites. Stormy Daniel reviews the pricey loss to the Broncos and what has gone wrong on the eve of the finals, with Melbourne's defence vanishing and injuries to star halfback Jahrome Hughes, fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen (concussion)

What was supposed to be a night of celebration, well after the full-time siren, it was anything but after the Storm game up 40 unanswered points in the second half, leaving a subdued and somber dressing room and an embarrassed veteran coach to accept plaudits and presentation of the game ball by NRL CEO Andrew Abdo to which Bellyache addressed the crowd in true Bellyache fashion saying "Really appreciate everyone coming out today and I hope we go f***ing better next week".

A Top 4 showdown for a Top 2 finish between Melbourne and Canterbury-Bankstown. The Storm managed to overcome a determined Bulldogs side, who capitalised off a momentum shift through some ill discipline shown by Storm, handing the Bulldogs field position and possession, who were coming home strong. Melbourne's defensive effort managed to deliver the home side the win, to secure a Top 2 finish, resulting in a Home Final in Week 1 at AAMI Park.

Cometh the hour, cometh the magician.

With a team still missing Hughes, Papenhuyzen, Howarth, Asofa-Solomona and Warbrick, a reshuffle to the backline and the smarts of the Storm skipper, were able to navigate a hard fought victory against the Premiership heavyweights and reigning Premiers in the Panthers; who were gunning

The Storm without question were at their defensive best against the Broncos on what was a gritty, grinding affair against Brisbane, who were coming off a 60 point destruction of Souths. Despite the Broncos suffering some in game adversity, losing both halves to hamstring injuries in the same sequence of play, the Storm were able to nulify the attacking threats of Walsh, Staggs and Haas.
