Melbourne have lost their fair amount of players the last few years, they are just better at being able to keep the right players and replace with smart recruiting. Help to have arguably a top 2 club coach in the game as well.
The last 4 years the Storm have lost Cameron Smith, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Paul Momirovski, Vunivalu, Josh Addo-Carr, Dale Finucane, Nicho Hynes, Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich, Felise Kaufusi, Brandon Smith and Juston Olam as well as a heap of depth players.
Broncos problem is getting our players hyped beyond their abilities way too early (maybe a fault of only trying to recruit the most hyped youngsters?) and then having to pay overs to keep them such as Mam and Piakura before they have earnt the contract.
The Storm also do replacements very well and have the two options under ready to go then they just pick.
Storm value the hard work to get there. They have a wall at the Storm with every player and how many Cup games they played and how many NYC games they played. So if you’re feeling like you’re hard done by and shouldn’t be playing Cup it’s right in front of you Cam Smith 28 games Norths. So when a player has to go to the Falcons for 35 games they don’t complain. They don’t have to rush players.
