    Jul 28 2026
    Another week, another injury. The woes for the Melbourne Storm continue in what has been the tale of the tape for Season 2026. This time, Captain Harry Grant succumbed to a hamstring issue which will sideline him for the next few weeks. Stormy Daniel reviews the narrow loss to the Rabbitohs, where Melbourne had did enough to win the game only for a schoolboy like error by mercurial fullback Sua Fa’alogo to turn from hero to villain. Defensive fragilities were again on display which is an area Storm need to rectify and fix before the next season. Stormy Daniel gives an update on the club’s pathways teams, covers off on all the Storm News, including some speculated player movement, your listener questions and team list Tuesday. Could another debutant or two be about to pull on the purple jersey against the Bulldogs this Friday night?

    Courageous. Gutsy. Resilient. Brave. Just some of the superlatives one could use to describe Storm’s performance against their Round 20 clash with the Roosters.

Stormy Daniel reviews the tremendous effort and showing by an understrength Storm outfit who almost did the impossible to cause what would’ve been an upset for the ages; as well as covering off on the pathways report, what’s making Storm news, your listener questions and team list Tuesday. Who’s in, who’s out, who’s available is more the question as the Storm hit the road back to Sydney to take on a desperate Rabbitohs team, needing to win to maintain their position inside the Top 8.

The kind of performance and defensive display we have become accustomed to seeing from a Melbourne Storm team, repelling and stopping a stacked Roosters team who have the capacity to blow teams away with their attacking strike. Stormy Daniel reviews the Round 13 clash against the boys from Bondi, covers off on the pathways results, what's making Storm news, your listener questions and team list Tuesday - who's in and who's out for the Friday night showdown with the resurgent Newcastle Knights are flying under the coaching of their new mentor in Justin Holbrook.

    What's the old saying, 'two steps forward, one step back'. Well it felt like more than one step back in what was a diabolical second half, resulting in Storm going down to a desperate Bulldogs team.

Stormy Daniel covers off on pathways results, what's making Storm news, including the news that Melbourne will be featuring in the NRL's fourth instalment of Las Vegas, kicking off their 2027 campaign against Wests in Sin City. Your listener questions along with team list Tuesday - who has been named to take on the Sydney Roosters? Will the Storm's Origin contingent back up?
