Ahh, Melbourne Storm, the club that has that annoyingly consistent presence in the Top 8 that will probably never go away.
The boys from AFL town have become the most successful club of the new millennium, benefiting from an unbelievable system in which supremo Coach Craig Bellamy has built a reputation of turning no-hopers into vital Premiership puzzle pieces.
Guys like Bryan Norrie, Jaiman Lowe and Sisa Waqa really had no right to win an NRL Title. Only at Melbourne, I suppose.
But these blokes……well, I guess Bellamy couldn’t weave his magic on these fellas.
Then again, he never stood a chance really.

If you don’t love George Rose, then please show yourself out.
Big Georgie Rose was and will forever remain a Rugby League icon. Who would be carved into the Mt Rushmore of Rugby League is always a fun discussion, but goddam if George Rose doesn’t get a start then this is not a world I want to live in.
Alright, I’ll settle down, but I mean come on, it’s George Freakin Rose. You can’t blame me.
The big cuddly bear was far more famous for his career at Manly, where he became one of the most popular players of modern-day NRL. However, the Prop Forward appears in the Storm Set Of Six, due to his rather underwhelming stint in Melbourne.
Rose didn’t last long in Victoria, a blink and you’ll miss it tenure if you will. Rumour has it, his muscles still haven’t recovered from the famously brutal Bellamy pre-season he endured.
You ruined a good man Craig.
Jackass.
