    Defensive effort not system failure sees Storm tarred with unwanted 118-year stat after conceding 50
    2026/04/07
    Good Friday turned into a Bad Friday for the Melbourne Storm after conceding 50 points for the first time in 23 seasons, the last occasion was way back in 2003 - almost a generation ago. The Storm are now up against history, endeavouring to overcome an 118-year statistic and record, with no team has been successful in winning the premiership after conceding 50 points in the regular season. But the main focus for a Storm team reeling from being smacked by the high flying Panthers is putting a stop to their three game losing streak with it not extending to a fourth loss on the trot. Stormy Daniel reviews the heavy loss to the competition leaders in Penrith, covers off on a pathways report, what's making Storm news, your listener questions and TLT - team list Tuesday. Who's in? Who's out for the Round 6 clash with the Warriors, who themselves are coming off back-to-back losses and will be just as desperate to get back in the winners circle.

    The pre-season challenge is done and dusted and so too is the long, arduous pre-season training, where this new Storm group have been building a base, hardening themselves for the 2026 Season and their Premiership campaign.
