'Vulnerable' Melbourne Storm leaves remarkable streak in grave danger of ending

Every year the doubters predict the demise of the Storm - and Craig Bellamy invariably proves them wrong.The Storm will be shooting for a remarkable 13th straight season in the finals in 2023 - but cracks are starting to appear in their armour.The departure of the nucleus of the pack in recent season - Felise Kaufusi (Dolphins), Brandon Smith (Roosters), Jesse Bromwich (Dolphins) and Kenny Bromwich (Dolphins) - leaves the Storm looking distinctly vulnerable up front.It's a challenge for Bellamy - but you would be foolish to write off the man widely accepted as the best coach in rugby league. 2022 finishing position: 5th.Gains: Eliesa Katoa (Warriors), Tariq Sims (Dragons), Joe Chan (Catalans), Aaron Pene (Warriors).Losses: Felise Kaufusi (Dolphins), Brandon Smith (Roosters), Jesse Bromwich (Dolphins), Kenny Bromwich (Dolphins), David Nofoaluma (Wests Tigers - return from loan), Cooper Johns (Sea Eagles).
