  Sep 1, 202649 min

  If you had said at the beginning of the season that last year's Grand Finalists would be playing in a dead rubber fixture in Round 26, most would have suggested you need to be admitted and undergo psychiatric testing. As hard as it is believe, knowing the hardship and adversity Melbourne Storm have endured in Season 2026, that the Broncos, the reigning Premiers are having a worse season. Despite both team's respective woes, one thing that you can guarantee, clashes between the two franchises are always an occasion that both sets of players get up for, acknowleding the rivalry and history that exists between the pair. Stormy Daniel reviews the 46-20 victory over the Broncos, including how the game was used by the NRL to trial a controversial kickoff rule, which has gone down like a lead balloon. Stormy Daniel covers off on the final pathways report for 2026, what's making Storm news, your listener questions and the final team list Tuesday of the season. Who's in, who's out for Storm as Melbourne hit the road for their last Round clash with 2016 Grand Final opponents the Cronulla-Sharks, who themselves have the hippy hippy shakes, leading into the finals and will be desperate to get a win going into week 1 of the Finals series. Can Storm be of nuisance value, upsetting the Sharks on their home deck? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Episode #30

  A spirited second half Storm fightback falls short against Premiership heavyweight

  Aug 25, 202658 minS4

  Stormy Daniel reviews the narrow defeat to the Panthers. Give any team a 22-nil lead after 40 minutes, let alone the opposition being the Panthers and the contest is over before the second half has even begun. Penrith were at their clinical best, taking the the Storm's defensive fragilities on the edges; the bugbear and major concern of Head Coach Craig Bellamy all season. But a spirited second half showing saw Melbourne score 14 unanswered points against the Premiership favourites, but Penrith's defence, specifically their goal line D was resolute as they managed to keep turning away Storm time and time again. The effort by Melbourne was evident, but lacking the class of the competiton's joint-leaders with missing personnel was the real difference between the two teams. Lacking the star power and polish on last play options have inevitably hurt Melbourne for most of Season 2026. Stormy Daniel also covers off on what's making Storm news, including pathways report, Tui Kamikamica retires whilst being honoured with inaugral contest between the Jersey Flegg Storm and Silktails which will become an annual clash, playing for the Tui Kamikamica Bowl; with the game recognising Kamikamica’s contribution to rugby league in both Fiji and Australia. Additional news included Storm welcoming leading global investment organisation, EQT, as a majority shareholder in the Club and what it means for the Victorian Rugby League club moving forward, with Chairman Matt Tripp speaking to EQT's investment, whilst believing Craig Bellamy is far from done as Storm's Head Coach beyond 2027 and his confidence of marquee man Cameron Munster remaining a one club player. Plus team list Tuesday as Storm prepare for their Round 26 clash with the last season's Grand Final opponents, the Brisbane Broncos. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Pride, resilience and belting Manly. Storm succeed in western venture

  Aug 18, 202651 minS4

  The finals may be out of reach for Melbourne, but there is always plenty to play for; specifically when coming up against the club’s fiercest rival in Manly. With the Sea Eagles getting the victory in the first leg between the two combatants, it was Storm’s turn to square the ledge, coming from a 14-nil deficit, to run away victors, posting 42 unanswered points. Stormy Daniel reviews the great win in which Melbourne displayed plenty of resilience, down to 12 at one stage and getting the win still severely undermanned, missing a host of big names. Stormy Daniel cover off on the pathways results from Round 23, what’s making Storm News, including a surprise key signing for next season, your listener questions and team list Tuesday, as Storm turn their attention to a Panthers who will be smarting off the back of consecutive losses, in what is Melbourne’s final home game of the season.
