Winning doesn't have to be pretty and it certainly wasn't against the reigning Premiers, coming away victorious with an uncomfortable 30-24 win. Complacency was evident. Melbourne were guilty of taking their foot off the gas after an injury to Cleary and jumping to a 14-nil lead. Something that I'm sure Coach Craig Bellamy would have ripped them a new one for. But 2 points is 2 points and the Storm will bank them and move on to Round 4 where they will be coming up against a motivated Dragons outfit fresh off the Bye. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's made Storm news this week, specifically on the injury toll and junior and feeder team reports from last week's Round. A Throwback Team List from 2010 against the Dragons, who's in and who's out for Round 4 and lastly, your listener questions.

Fresh off the 'Bye', Melbourne head into Round 3 coming up against the reigning Premiers, the 4-peat Panthers in what is the first time the two teams havemet since last year's Grand Final. Penrith coming off a shock loss to an understrength Roosters outfit will be keen to atone their Round 2 performance and will certainly lift and raise the intensity and effort for the Grand Final rematch. Storm have their own motivation which needs no explanation, but it will not reverse the heartache and disappointment of last year's missed opportunity, but will be a chance to exorcise some demons whilst getting the all important two premiership points. Stormy Daniel covers off on what's making Storm news, a throwback team list Tuesday from yesterday, team list Tuesday and preview of the big clash against the mountain men from Western Sydney.

Clincal, methodical, professional, relentless - just some of the superlatives that one can use to describe Storm's Round 1 performance against the Eels. Melbourne kick started their 2025 Premiership campaign off with a bang, with an impressive 56-18 win over the Parramatta Eels. As close as a perfect half of football you could come to expect in the first 40 minutes. It was exceptional viewing with Storm sending out a strong message to the rest of the competition, their redemption tour has begun, keen to atone the disappointment of falling short in last year's Grand Final. And if the result in Round 1 is anything to go by, Melbourne Storm mean business. Stormy Daniel reviews the game, covers off on what's making Storm news in the Bye week, waxes lyrically about the Stan 'Inside the Storm' documentary and answer's listener questions.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and admire greatness. What a club, what a team, what an organisation Penrith Panthers is. Deserving Premiers. There is no shame in being beaten by this juggernaut of a sporting franchise. Whilst the disappointment of losing a Grand Final hurts and will undoubtedly be stinging for some time, it will serve as additional motivation for a Storm playing group heading into the pre-season, driving them to go one better in 2025. Stormy Daniel reviews the Grand Final defeat to the now 'four-time' Premiers, many who have made comparisons to this inexperienced Melbourne Storm team being exactly where the Panthers were five seasons ago when the pair played one another in the 2020 Grand Final team. The Panthers that night were beaten by experience and guile of a Storm team that knew how to play and perform in big matches. The Panthers took their learnings and did a Melbourne on Melbourne, showing the inexperienced Storm side, what it takes to win a Premiership. Storm may have created the beast that is the Panthers team five years ago, but Penrith could have effectively now done exactly the same thing to a Melbourne Storm team who will be much wiser in 2025. Stormy Daniel coves off on what's making news and answers your listener questions.
