GRIFFIN WARY OF FIRED-UP STORM

Slade Griffin knows better than most just how motivated the Melbourne Storm will be this week and the effect Craig Bellamy will have on his troops.

“Yeah he’s a really good motivator – we’ll use that word. He’ll have the boys fired up. They wouldn’t have been too happy with that performance, even though the Tigers are playing good footy. I know they really want to win. There’s only one way they’ll do it. Running hard and tackling hard, so they’ll be up against it.” Griffin said.

Griffin is also relishing the chance to line up opposite his idol and mentor, Cameron Smith.
