1. If Storm get penalised Milk the evener upperer
Get the the refs under your thumb. For example Klein used to be one ref who did not pander to them, but there was a border line call and Bellamy kicked up such a big stink that Klein is scared shtlss of them. Once that is done, if Storm get a penalty against them, then milk the same penalty because the ref will be looking to even it up. For example, Storm made repeated ruck infringements, were finally penalised but straight away the ref went looking to even it up.
Another example. Kafusi deliberately swings his elbow into Matterson's head, gets penalised. Next thing you know Paperhousen is trying to milk a penalty for the same sort of thing. Staying down for a near crusher that wasnt the staying down after bumping his head on a stationary knee. Didnt Bellamy kick up a big stink about some Parra player staying down last year.
2. If the opposition start winning, hurt them with low cowardly acts. swing an elbow into their head in the tackle (Kafusi on Matto). Twist their knee ankle joints in tackles (Welch on Papa). Crusher tackle. Chicken wing.
3. Bend the rules. Don't worry the ref wont dare penalise us and if he does then milk the evener upperer. Storm will always get away with 10x what the opposition does.

This is what happens when a major media company owns a sporting team - too much influence lets them get a way with murder
They don't have their pocket ref anymore. Will be interesting to see if the refs finally wake up to them eventually.
Papenshitinhousen should consider giving it a go in the Olympics as a diver after last night. No Cam Smith to help out with some late penalties.
Yep, he would have lost a lot of broader league fans last night. Absolutely milking everything, which is sadly ironic given that Melbourne accused us of the same just months ago.
Thats sad and also true Coyote.
You just need to put some subtle digs in the media during game week to highlight it.
I've looked in on this site for a lot of years now & preferred to read rather than post but reading Wile E's comment got me going, couldn't agree more mate. I left multiple comments on the Telegraph after the game & mentioned the grubby shit that goes on in basically every tackle that totally gets ignored. Every one of them was deleted. I posted back am I not allowed to criticise the Storm tactics because you share ownership - also deleted. Time to go Tele subscription.
Welcome mat, good to see you dipping your toes in the water with your FIRST post, the trick to surviving this site is to not take anything to heart and most importantly don't show any weakness, the vultures on this site are always circling looking for a fresh kill.
I stopped reading the the telegraph years ago, total crap in that rag.
Hi Matt meet the team on Snakes Blog Some really smart dudes
MUGSHOTS OF 1EE MEMBERS, POST EM UP!
Thanks HKF & also hi to you Slugg. I will take that all on board & see how I go. I'm no spring chicken & I've run my own business for years so I've got a pretty thick skin - there's no name I haven't been called.
