And coach Anthony Seibold approached the loss as if it was a fait accompli that his side would lose, saying in his post-match press conference: “For 10 years the Storm have lapped this club. They’re at a way different part of their journey, but we need to get better.” But an attitude from a coach that expects to lose to another side, does nothing to help his team, looking to buck a historical trend, according to Michael Ennis. “The fact that he started referring to stuff that had happened for the last decade, sure Melbourne have had a great record against Brisbane, but he’s come in and it’s his job to change that,” Ennis told the panel on Fox League’s [I]Big League Wrap. [/I] “It’s his job to focus on that, it sounded to me throughout his press conference that they almost expected that result and that they were happy to move forward. “Yes, they’d address it and look at it and why they’d failed, but the fact that ten, twelve years of pain almost made it acceptable that that’s just what Melbourne do to Brisbane. “And you can’t be setting the standard as your coach. “If he’s thinking that or that’s part of his conversation, he’s almost thinking through the week that Melbourne will beat them and beat them well. “They absolutely towelled them up. I think he’s got to have a real good look at his key positions in his spine.” After a couple of weeks where they had built up a good run of form, the Broncos felt the backlash of the Storm following their loss to Manly. 40-4. It was a complete carve-up and the Broncos coach Anthony Seibold said that the game symbolised where Brisbane were placed. “It shows our young guys they’ve got a long way to go,” he said. “We were way off, we got taught a lesson. “That’s the long and the short of it, physically we were bullied and we had no response. “And what I’ve noticed with our group is that when we’re under pressure we don’t have those overlapping effort areas, we just worry about ourselves and not our teammates. “That's part of our learning.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
