Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has conceded that it may have been an error of judgement not to take off Ryan Papenhuyzen before the superstar fullback suffered a hamstring injury likely to sideline him for several weeks. "If I'd known what I know now, I definitely would have taken him off, we knew he wasn't gonna be involved like he is with the ball, but we were only 12 points up, just sort our defence," he told. "I'm not quite sure, with that knee, even if he hadn't got the hamstring whether he'd be playing the next couple of weeks anyway. "So he's got a couple of injuries to deal with, so we have to find ourselves a fullback for the next couple of weeks." The injuries didn't stop the Storm producing another dominant performance, they have outscored their last three opponents by a combined 144 points after 70-10 and 50-2 floggings of the Warriors and Newcastle in their previous two outings.
