Craig Bellamy isn't resorting to any fast fixes to arrest Melbourne's alarming form slump that has seen the Storm lose their last four NRL games. Once a top-two lock, injury-hit Melbourne have dropped to fifth and are in danger of surrendering hopes of a top-four finish and a finals second chance. Ahead of their clash with the Warriors in Auckland on Friday night, the Storm coach says he's going back to basics rather than search for anything new. "We're looking at the things that are important to our game and most of those things are around consistent effort," Bellamy said on Thursday in Auckland. "That's probably what we haven't been so good at in the last couple of weeks. "We don't want to panic because that won't get us anywhere. "For us it's not about winning or losing at the moment it's about finding a bit of form and being more consistent with doing the things that we know are important to us to perform. "We've gone back to really nailing those things down at training, and then hopefully, we'll improve in the games." "I don't know what - but we could give them four, five or six competition points to start with as they probably deserve it," Bellamy said. "What they've done for the game has been unbelievable ... they've made a lot of sacrifices, a lot more than any other team in the competition."We all should tip our hats to the Warriors, congratulate them, and be really grateful for what they've done for our game."
