Craig Bellamy has led the Melbourne Storm to an incredible winning record in round one fixtures, with the side not losing in the season opener since 2001 and never under the legendary coach's watch. The side's well-documented intense pre-season training methods have clearly paid off over the years, outlasting a host of quality outfits during the streak. Ahead of their 2024 opener with reigning premiers Penrith, club legend Cameron Smith analysed the continued success. "They really gear themselves to be at their best for round one, with everything they do with their preparation and game plan," he told SEN Radio. "The one thing that stands out from them is their fitness, they seem to stand out from the sides they come up against. If they're not at their best footy-wise, their fitness will get them over the line." Read on to re-live every one of the Storm's round one victories during Bellamy's remarkable streak.
