Storm players Loiero and Utoikamanu avoid charges despite penalties in controversial loss; coach calls for discipline.
In a recent match, Storm duo Trent Loiero and Stefano Utoikamanu have avoided charges from the match review committee despite receiving penalties during their controversial loss to the Raiders.
Loiero faced penalties for a high shot in golden point and foul play that cost his team a field goal.
Utoikamanu was sin-binned for his involvement in a melee that affected the Storm's possession during extra time.
Storm coach Craig Bellamy acknowledged the need for more discipline from his players at critical moments, but the absence of charges against Loiero and Utoikamanu supports public sentiment that the Storm were unfairly treated as the match progressed.
