Congrats to my greatest team I have ever seen.
Melbourne Storm.
Another Grand Final appearance.
If you want to see what greatness means ...see the record of Melbourne Storm.
Absolutely amazing.
Best run Club in Australia since Collingwood's Mean Machine.

Remind me how many premierships were stripped from the storm for cheating again....?

Pass.

Get Hardwick and Richmond's medical staff

The advantage of salary cap cheating helps with that i’d say?

Rugby League hasnt changed for 50 years.

QLD Maroons won the state of origin for like what 9 years in a row? do you really think that would fly in the AFL?

So Lazza
Which Club has the scores on the board... Storm or the Pies?
It really is a simple answer.
The Pies 4 flags in 84 years.
Wow what a great record...and that is when the first 30 years everyone and I mean everyone wanted to play for the Pies.

Collingwood is constantly surrounded by examples of greatness, unfortunately we have never (since the 1920's mean machine) been able to harness whatever it is that makes a truely great, consistent, powerful and relentless winning machine of a sporting club. The Melbourne Storm are simply incredible and must sit alongside that basketball team in the west called the Wildcats whom haven't missed a finals campaing for 35 years or something with a stack of cups to show. Cats, Hawks now Tigers have shined through with their mini dynastys while we still procrastinate, piss fart around pretend to know what we're doing. My dream is for Collingwood to become such a successful club (as it is for all of us) but it seems beyond our comprehension. Go the Storm! I think they will do it this year, they look determined.....but, don't they always!

Yes they were stripped of points, caught cheating and stripped of premierships. They were punished but does that mean you just ditch them. After all that they have rebuilt and come back and won premierships and now looking for a 3rd since their cap breaches. Some teams never recover from something like this. They are the best run club in the country and our neighbours, we could learn a thing or 2 from them.

They played brilliantly last night. Craig is a magnificent coach -it doesn’t seem to matter how the playing personnel changes and how many all-time greats retire or leave, he still structures his team to find a way.

Also, Cameron Smith is just a remarkable leader. After 431 games, he can still dazzle with his exquisite skills or lay a try-saving tackle. His stop in the second half was one of the highlights of the season.

It is a pleasure to watch the Storm go about their work. They are probably not the best side in the competition this year - but they always play a style of game designed for success and they repeatedly step up in key moments.

Bellamy’s kindness after the game was also a very special thing to see. He actually went around and spoke to every Canberra player he could get to and looked to be having extended, genuine chats with them. Not just a pat on the back and a quick “Bad luck, mate” but genuine conversations. Moreover, you could see from the reactions of the Canberra players how much it mattered to them that Craig Bellamy had a good word for them after a bad thrashing at the end of a difficult season. If you played for the Storm, you’d want to run through brick walls for a bloke like that.

Penrith won 17 in a row. Then they came up against Melbourne. Trainwreck!

Well done, Storm.

Fabulous win over an extremely tough panthers team. Storm are an unbelievably great team. Long may their successful reign continue😁🤙🏾🏅🎖
