Good on you Potter, you can't be bum chums wirh the team and make them accountable. Glad he came out and said it because its not good enough otherwise.
JMK thinks he can get away with things like Cameron Smith did when he sticks his arm under the attacking opposition players ball carrying arm.4th tackle JMK spends too long in the tackle and that fkn bell gets rung and the enthusiasm from the rest of the team just drops
Because they're better at it. Storm get numbers into the tackle, manipulate the attacker and get tangled up. Meanwhile we have Jackson and JMK with some of the most obvious leg pulls and hands on balls you will see after the tackle is complete and we've lost the contestTBH, I think it is a bit simplistic. Melbourne Storm push the envelope in every tackle, just don't get penalised as much. 6 agains are a joke depending on the ref. Maybe this shapes the narrative publicly better to perhaps get a fairer go from officials
JMK is on anpther level with the timing of his penalties penalties this year, the GOAT. Wadell isnt very far behind.Great interview. The best line is that they need to be aware of the tackle count. The 2 biggest offenders there are Jacko and JMK. The amount of 6 agains they give late in the tackle count are criminal.
And whilst he put the majority of blame on the players he still managed a slight dig at the officials over home team decisions
You are right but it still ain't fair. I need an excuse to get me through the season broBecause they're better at it. Storm get numbers into the tackle, manipulate the attacker and get tangled up.

Yep, whether the refs are rorting us or not, I don't know and don't care and neither can we change that. But what we can change is not giving the refs an excuse to ping us for 80 mins and let our footy do the talking. Been following the dogs for a long time and I'm sure you have too, never have I been impressed with the refs in the past and we managed to dominate in the past by taking the ref and the crowd out of the game by playing good damn footy.Baz doesn't challenge the players publicly once in one and a half seasons. Potter does it in his first full week on the job. Accountability is everything in sport... Without it, you can't improve. I'm glad Potter is there to tell the players the cold, hard truth after Baz had coddled them and made excuses for them the whole time.
Yeah a lot of that comes back to a lack of leadership from the coach, captain and senior players. I think Jackson deserves a lot of blame for not being a better and more vocal on field leader throughout the years to help prevent collapses and ill discipline. Or to have the squad mentally stronger.Yep, whether the refs are rorting us or not, I don't know and don't care and neither can we change that.

Plus the refs have a preconceived idea that the storm will win most games whilst they have a preconceived idea that we are inferior to other teams and will attempt to slow down the play the ball.Because they're better at it.

Thank NAPA for that, the guys stupidity infected all our players.We're the dumbest team in the comp, I don't think our guys are capable of keeping count of what tackle in the set it is.
It was the 4 horseman of stupidityThank NAPA for that, the guys stupidity infected all our players.
Dumbest player to wear our jersey I swear.
I'm Not surprised tbh that's what happens when you are one of only 4 or 5 players actually playing to win.Nice stats. Surprised with Burto
