Bellamy demands improvement despite Storm’s thrashing of Bulldogs

2021-04-11T13:05+10:00

Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has demanded more from his side despite thrashing the Bulldogs 52-18 on Saturday night.

The reigning premiers scored nine tries in the 34-point win, but Bellamy says they must improve defensively ahead of next week’s clash against the Sydney Roosters.

"The scoreboard looks pretty good, but I was a bit disappointed with some of our defence and I thought we lost our discipline a couple of times," Bellamy told reporters post-game.

"There are a few things we'll look to improve on and a few things we'd like to keep going, obviously.

"I thought some of our shapes we ran tonight (were good) and I thought our execution and timing was better, especially our right side, which was good.

"I'm probably just looking at it a bit more defensive-minded tonight. We could've done a bit better than what we did (defensively)."

The fifth-placed Storm host the second-placed Roosters at AAMI Park next Friday night.

Bellamy’s men have piled on 92 points in the last two weeks.
