It concerns me that people are talking about how the first half was an improvement, they still got dusted by 40 so it's not good enough to welcome any level of mediocrity. Listening to Bellamy's presser you would have thought the Storm had lost the game he was so angry with their first half performance. The media management needs to change, having the players interviewed before games talking up their chances is only adding pressure. Total media ban. Remember the Baby Broncos from 10 or so years ago that pulled off a number of upsets by playing hard up tempo and backing themselves, so youth is no excuse. Bennett and Bellamy have always shielded their players from the media, this is a priority. I'm not sure if they still do it, but Bennett used to take the boys to Canungra with the police SERT team and go through their training which was torturous stuff physically and mentally. Then they had to come back to Kelvin Giles and spar with Chopper Burgess. 90% of their failings are psychological, they are fit enough, big enough and talented enough, but they are mentally weak.
