So to come up with a performance like that, the opposition play really well, but to come up with a performance like that and a lack of effort like that on Anzac Day is embarrassing.

is that I reckon they've got a broken heart because they narrowly lost the last two grand finals, and particularly to Brisbane last year, they had that game won, and I just don't think they can climb the mountain again.

Where to for the Melbourne Storm now? | The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (27.04.26)

And other times when teams that have been feathered out of it as cider, but it's just after being so good for so long.

And I know Storm fans will contact and say, well, we got this guy injured, we got that guy injured.

Whateley
Where to for the Melbourne Storm now? | The Wisdom & Experience of Robert Craddock (27.04.26)

But their ability to rebuild, Gerard, I used to joke with you annually, didn't I, about how

in our pre-season tips when they'd say, team who will fall down the ladder this year, I'd always say the Melbourne Storm because one by one their superstars left, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Craig Inglis, and yet they just kept rebuilding and turning water into wine.
