We sort of knew that the dew would come in, I think, by eight o'clock.

There's going to be 90% humidity, which lends itself to those sort of games.

And

You know, the 7.30 time slot on a Sunday night probably.

Those deeper back men used the footy better tonight, so we didn't have that same vulnerability on counter-offence.

We didn't turn the ball over as much as we did

we have in the early stages of the year.

The theory that no one has mentioned that I reckon is theory A and the root cause of it, above anything else, Gerard, 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.

We've seen that syndrome in AFL a little bit with Sydney at times.

They got thrashed in a decider, and other times when teams that have been feathered out of a decider, 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.

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.

But suddenly the tap is off.
