Mal Meninga believes “it could be a long year” for the Storm as they deal with mounting injuries with Munster, Olam, Papenhuyzen, Tariq Sims and Xavier all out, plus Lord Nelson also under an injury cloud, Meninga said, “I’m not quite sure about their depth this year.”
Consecutive close losses in golden point against the Storm in the NRL season opener, and a 26-30 loss to the Sharks, see the Eels drop to 0-2.
And in facing the Sea Eagles, Panthers and Roosters next, Parramatta could fall to 0-5, but Head Coach Brad Arthur isn’t panicking.
