Corey Parker says Melbourne can’t win the NRL premiership after conceding 50 points
CP: “The Shark’s season is done, as is the Dolphins, as is Craig Bellamy’s Storm. Conceding 50 points in a season against the Panthers. History suggests if you concede 50, your season is gone. Back to back Grand Finalists, conceding 50 points. This is a team where it does not happen. 23 years ago was the last time the Melbourne Storm conceded 50 points. We had Craig on the desk a few weeks ago – where are they at at the moment? 94% completion rate. Any time with Munster, Hughes, Grant that they have a 94% completion rate, they normally go on to win.”
LK: “We saw them lose Ryan Papenhuyzen, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Xavier Coates is injured at the moment, and the big one being Eli Katoa. I believe he is the best back rower in the competition last year. They went hard for Zac Lomax, they thought they were thin out wide, and it has proven the case. 24 seasons Craig has been there, and they’ve missed the finals one – with the salary cap scandal. I back him to turn this around.”
CP: “History has suggested that no team has conceded 50 points. I’m saying they can’t win that. I see them finishing outside the top 4, but inside the 8.”
