No Cameron Smith, no worries as Storm hit the ground running – Sydney Morning Herald
Melbourne Storm will miss Cameron Smith but they opened the post-Smith era with a win on Thursday night.
Our first half was awful, Bennett said.
After that, it was just about doing the best you can.
A sell-out crowd of 11,812 greeted the Storm who were preceded by the 2020 premiership trophy which was carried out to sit at the point of a V made of Storm members.
With all that emotion in the air, the Storm settled remarkably well and hit Souths with a ferocious opening of pressure tackling and flat, speedy passing.
