Catch all the best bits from Craig Bellamy's chat with the media ahead of Storm's Round 25 clash against the Dragons.

Message to the squad after Round 24 win

“Yeah, we’ll just try and back that effort up, obviously they did a lot of really good things last week.” 

“We started the game, played really patiently and got a bit of an arm wrestle there for 20 minutes and then,when we when we got some chances, we took them.” 

“So, big improvement in their defence last week, just with the consistency of it. We just want to try and back that effort up again this week.” 

What to expect against the Dragons 

“They're a team that got a lot of very talented individuals in it and especially with the footy, they throw it around, they've got a lot of pace, they've got some young guys there – really talented young kids and they've got a quite an experienced pack.” 

“We know it's gonna be a tough game down there and hopefully we can defend well. We'll need to if we're going to get what we want.” 

Will Warbrick returns 

“Obviously, he's had a really good year for us. I’m not quite sure how many tries he’s scored for us, but he’s scored plenty of them.” 

“Last week he was just probably touch and go on playing, but there’s no use putting him in if we have any doubts at all.” 

“He's trained all week this week, so he should be fine.” 

Ryan Papenhuyzen update 

“I don’t know how many times I've said it, but we're not putting any pressure on him.” 

“We just see how he responds in games, but then how he responds and adapts after games.” 

“We're just taking the week of week by week, day by day, to be quite honest and then go from there.”  

“We're fairly happy with what he's done so far and if he gets another chance to play again this week and we'll see what happens.”
