The Storm have started the 2024 NRL season on fire, with wins over both of last year's grand finalists. In round one they scored a gritty 8-0 win over the defending premiers Penrith and registered a stirring comeback to beat the Brisbane Broncos 34-32 at AAMI Park on Thursday night. "We had Penrith round 1 down here and won 8-0 and we beat the other grand finalists 34-32. Like that’s a fair discrepancy there between the other games we played and the scores," Bellamy said. "It's nice that we’ve won some close games but I much prefer the 8-0 to 34-32, so hopefully we can fix our defence up a little bit and get back to that. I would like to be able to pick which one we were going to come up with each night and then you can sort of have a bit more tactics around that. "You just rather know that you’re gonna hang in there and be consistent with the things we are doing. We’ve been a bit inconsistent even though we’ve fought and that’s been great. When we’ve got behind, we’ve fought to get back in front, and (when) we’ve been in front we’re sort of, I don’t know if we get a little bit overconfident, I’m not sure. But it’s nice to be able to win games like that, but let’s say I’d rather be winning 8-0 than winning 34-32." "Some of his kicks probably weren’t that great but I thought he defended really well and he came up with the right options at the right time. You’d like to think now that he’s going to just get better with a bit more match fitness, bit more training. "He played outside Shawn (Blore) tonight and he hasn’t played with him. He hasn’t trained much with him, so you’d like to think that combination is going to get even better."
