Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy finds it hard to believe the Sydney Roosters are out of the top eight as the Storm prepare for their NRL clash on Saturday night at AAMI Park.

The teams are at contrasting ends of the NRL ladder, with the Storm second and the Roosters second last.

“You look at their team and you wonder why they are where they are with a current State of Origin player and a New Zealand player on the bench,” Bellamy said.
